Karaoke Setup - for home - super easy! [2022] 

the cat! how beautiful! it's so cute how cat's like boxes

WOW- love how clear this is !!! SO HELPFUL!!

This is awesome, man. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Very enjoyable video. I got a kick out of the family pets too! I just ran a karaoke set up on Saturday for a friend's retirement party and used Karafun 2 software. As long as they offer the short term subscription, I will never again use the old CDG discs that I've had since the 1990's. It just so much easier and you have access to over 30,000 songs for only $6 for a 2-day subscription. Since I was at a remote location with no internet access other than tethering my computer to my phone's hotspot, I downloaded about 1000 songs to my laptop prior to the party. Each song is about 5 meg, so it took awhile to do this on my home network. Glad I did, because the 8 to 10 songs I downloaded at the party using my phone's data connection took about 1 minute each. Not bad, but it does delay things a bit. I did have trouble balancing the music and the singers. This is partly due to the fact I had never used the software and the piecemeal equipment set up I was using. For example, my mixer had an overall volume and each microphone had its own. To bring up the music I had to simultaneously lower the mic inputs to minimize feedback. I had two types of input; a portable karaoke system that John mentions in the video (for background music) and my laptop. Each input had different output levels going to the mixer, which meant I had to constantly adjust volume levels as I switched back and forth between the two. The issue was the singers who had vastly different experience using microphones or doing karaoke. Singing either too far or too close to the mic, moving it around that occasionally brought feedback into the mix, etc. We did have someone who was a real singer, and she sounded very good once I dialed her mic into the music. Holding the mic properly, pulling it further away when she hit some high notes, and minmizing random movements are all good habits. My next step is trying to integrate the microphones into the computer for a more unified control of the mix. Would be nice to be able to control the mic levels and effects from the same device providing the music & lyrics.

I've been trying to set up a nice karaoke set with my sound system and had no idea how to find a lot of songs so thank you for all of this!!

Love the cat in the box

This guys explains things better than my current professors :S

nice - thanks for sharing!

You did a really good job brother

cool...luv's videoke singing much.

I love the unrehearsed unboxing where crap just falls out of the box. It's just so much more realistic! Thanks for this DIY Couple.

Great info, thanks! BUT..the best part of the video is your cat laying on the box! We have a tabby cat that climbs in any and every box we get and open!

Thank you so much for this information it was very helpful!

Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I Ike how you unbox and explain it. ..your cat and dog are fun to watch too. Include them again in your future videos . Where do you control the echo of mic??

bravo!

Thanks for the video mate, it was very helpful. I just didn't understand if it gives you the score with this setup? I don't see the microphone being fed back to the PC so the karaoke app could analyse how good/bad you are.

great to finally have someone else do the research ...still a work in progress but not anxious to buy such a heavy speaker ..great insight

For a beginner like me, it would be helpful if you would walk thru and show how the part of connecting all the cable to the speaker, laptop, mixer, etc

Thanks for the great DIY tip.... just a thought; can i use my own music in laptop and use this system? if yes then what I will loose on.

Cat is so cute.

Hope you have a diagram for the connections you did especially the computer to mixer

Would a smaller, lighter speaker work? Any recommendations? I don't like the idea of having to move such a heavy speaker, and I don't need the volume.

Thanks for the video. I bought the Fifine mics and its base actually is a mixer by itself. I went with the apple tv Airplay route. From AppleTV to TV I used HDMI, from apple tv to mic base optical to Analog transformer. From Mic Base to Home theater 1/8 stereo plug to RCA

Great video! How is the signal getting from the laptop to the TV?

what about doing this Same thing only OUTSIDE in a Backyard? LUVed your video. Y'all Cool babies!

For a beginner like me, it would be helpful if you had shown how the part of connecting all the cables to the mixer, speaker being done.

great vid, simple & straight- now its 2022 - wud u mind updating this w newer/cheaper tech- so that its fully modular (if mics break just replace those)- perhaps using a separate bluetooth +physical mixer

that was an awesome explanation of everything. Question; can a speaker like the "ION tailgater plus speaker" with just an aux cable input work well in place of the kind of speaker you have. its also an active speaker. thanks for reply.

Thank you great information 1 question you mentioned Karafun how is the quality of music is it original sound . Is there another provider besides Karafun. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! I purchased the same setup an noticed you don’t get hardly any of the bass/low notes on mic one or two, even with the low knobs all the way up. Looks like the EXT IN, (1/8” stereo Jack), is the best way to add true audio in. Probably wouldn’t need the 1/4” stereo cable and the 1/8” adapter for your computer, since the microphones come with a 1/8” male to male stereo Jack. Don’t really know for sure if this is the right way, but any input /advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Does anyone know if I must have a digital-to-analog converter in order to connect my new HDTV to my Behringer 1002 FX mixer?

the speaker has a built in aimplifier/mixer it seems, can't you plug it to the laptop directly without an additional mixer?

Hello can I use monitor of computer as tv of videoke?? please reponse.thank u😘

Not sure of anyone asked but could you use computer speakers and some how plug that to the mixer?

Nice video. Hope you don’t mind me posting here how I setup my karaoke system. Mine is almost totally wireless with a couple of provisos. A smart TV ( Vizio )with Bluetooth and a PA system ( Absolute ) with bluetooth, 2000 watts, came with 2 wireless mics, rechargeable battery, and has echo, bass and treble functions. I pair the TV and PA so all sounds come from TV to the PA ( no lag at all ) then with my phone go to RU-vid, search for any karaoke videos and cast ( mirror ) it to my TV. If the PA’s battery is fully charged I don’t even need it plugged into a wall outlet, runs for like 4-5 hours full blast. If everyone in the room is connected to the same wifi they can pick a song in RU-vid in their own phones, and it will automatically queue up so your guest doesn’t have to bug you and you don’t have to ask each and everyone their request. Heck you don’t even need a TV at all. Last 4th of July we took the PA to Second Beach near Forks Wa. Paired it with my IPad and everyone there friends and strangers had a hell of a good time. I got the PA at Fry’s Electronics for $199 on sale and if your smart TV doesn’t have Bluetooth, you can get a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter in Amazon for $20 and if you don’t have a smart TV you can get a Chromecast or something similar.

Do we need a separate speaker? Is there any way to just make the sound come from the tv’s speakers or the sound system that we already have for the tv? Please let me know. I’d really appreciate! TIA!

I might have missed this but did you sign up for an online music karaoke service?

How did you mirror your laptop display on the TV and maintain sound through the speaker/PA?

Man, go easy on that intro volume !

I don’t know much about this, so I am confused. So are Fifine microphones with the receiver is not part of a karaoke system itself ?? Are they just basically wireless microphones ?

What is the make and model of your active speaker?

Was going to buy BOSE S1 but Best Buy said it’s not for Karaoke??? Advice?.

so how do you like the setup today? i been thinking about buying all the products to set mine up? just curious?

Hi Very good information. I have a amplifier with surround sound, bu the volume from the microphone is weak, how can i enhance that. Thank you in anticipation.

What about a Voice Pitch Correction unit?

If you have all these wires in your laptop isn’t it cumbersome to use the laptop to control the system? Can you do it from your phone?

Thank you for making the how to video! I already have my receiver and speaker connected to my display. How do I go about connecting it all together with the mixer and mics? I guess my short question is, will your set up work with an existing receiver and speakers? Thanks for any comments!

Legião urbana musics

Thanks for sharing. How do I record the song?

You use lap top but can you use iphone ?

Anyone have suggestions or options on Singtrix ? it looked cheesy but BOSE S1 Pro says online its not for Karaoke ! frustrating

How did you connect the laptop to your tv I guess you use the HDMI and sound from your computer. How did achieve the sound from mixer, If you use HDMi?

Awesome presentation:: Where do I get the subscription.

can you please provide link from amazon for the other cables? An HDMI cable (connecting your laptop/device to a TV) A 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter, and a 1/4 inch male-to-male audio cable (to connect your laptop's audio output into the mixer) Thanks so much.

I have over 2000 karaoke tracks on my laptop so I think this setup will work for me when I’m at my mom’s who doesn’t have internet. Come to think of it I may not need the mixer. There is echo effect on the mic receiver... going to watch again to see benefit of the mixer. One thing, does the echo effect only effect the mics or would it effect the computer input too?

I write my own lyrics and want to put it on the flat screen tv instead lookin at the paper what machines do that and how do I do that ?

Hi: We were using my high end stereo for karaoke. The distortion blew one of my power amp channels. I bought a second hand complete karaoke system for my wife. Now we have own separate systems. I didn't ask for a demonstration. I just didn't unhook anything, thought bring it home, power up, wife be Whitney Houston lol. No sound. The lady moved back to China. OOOPS - HELP please!!!! Components: 1. Behringer Power Amp 2. Muzio MX8000 Pre- Amp, Effect, Mixer 3. Muzio U-9900PRO for Wireless Mics 4. Muzio (black box with no dials/switches) Must be a hard drive or something 5. Touch Screen with very elaborate menu, ie., artist, country, language, etc. If I click artist and country, thousands of artists from that country would appear with pictures attached, then click song that we want. Seems like a lot of songs are stored (maybe previous owner's favourite), some need to be downloaded. Powered up. All set to go, Pick song, I can see a small meter moving (indicator of something playing), but no sound lol.

Anybody can help me here...i have a home theater sony...and a mic..for videoke...if i am using dvd or cd mode the mic is working....but the thing is id i connect my ipad bluetooth to home theater bcoz the ipad is connected to internet so meaning i can search any song from youtube...now if i put the home theater in bluetooth mode to connect in ipad...the microphone is not working....i badly need it for tonights occassion...please help me how solve this problem

did use a tv

I guessing you hooked up the hdmi to usb on laptop. Was wondering if i could connect the same setup with a good sound bar and smart tv ? I pretty much have all the same equipment you have, but if i could eliminate the laptop and active speakers.

Just saw this comment in a previous video "THIS is how you RU-vid! you make a 1 minute video for a tip, not a 10+ minute video with an intro and a vlog and a quick trip to the store and an interview and a review and an outro. good job Techmoan"

I like demo with cat 🐈

Do you like the Rockville speaker? Does it still work great? They have excellent ratings on Amazon, but after digging further into the company, most people are saying their products are not reliable.

$67 for that Mic set-up!! Not bad at all, Thanks!!

Hi ,can I connect the fifine microphone directly to the speaker without using the mixer?

Geez get to it

Hi what software do you use for karaoke? thanks.

Hi sir how much this whear I can get this pls Reply.tks

how about using an iPad rather than a mac? is it possible?

In regard to those who mention recording performers 'real-time': This, in my opinion and through trial and error, is NOT as simple as some might think it is. It had been simple enough at one time, but since Windows 10 this all changed for me and I watched as it happened and began to fail. Ans so, a couple of points from someone (which, of course is myself) who struggled at the exact same point every time and where setting up used to be the simplest part but no longer is in regard to using an Windows 10 itself to record the exact same sounds of music, vocals and even video recording at the same time, in real time through a PC / Laptop: I really cannot solve how best to do recording in real-time any more using a PC. Recording video (using an attached webcam) music and vocals is no longer a breeze. I never even used a mixing deck, but instead an external sound-card which I used with earlier PC's I'd built myself and had the absolute minimum of fuss without a nest of cabling. It really used to be that simple. A simple USB cable from external sound-card linked to the PC, a mic attached to the external sound-card and there was nothing more needed. Back then it was called 'What You Hear Is What You Get' and it was a simple click on a radar button to set the entire thing up, Windows itseld configured WYHIWYG but I have yet to find out what was replaced for this simple WYHIWYG system as it was some years ago. It's a question / problem I have scoured the Internet with that, it seems, no-one appears to have the answer. Regardless of how I try to set my sound-card (either internal and external) which appears should be a simple task I cannot get this to work ‘Karaoke-style’ and I have over 50 Karaoke tracks of me singing with video using only an external sound-card. The closest I did get (after Windows 10) was with so much latency that it was totally impossible to sing in 'real-time' WITH video both recording at the same time. I truly don't think anyone has a solution in using a simple external sound-card; I've tried everything, nothing works. If someone says they have a solution I'd be more than happy to hear it :-) ~F~

I have a PA system, how do I connect a monitor to my laptop which has a karaoke app on it to my laptop so I can get lyrics up on a separate monitor. Many thanks

howispice

Couldn't you have just use the mic receiver as the mixer for the computer and mic instead of the Alesis if you didn't need all the bells and whistles ?

A pity i didn't stumble upon your video sooner...

Using laptop is ok but but kinda hustle a bit, here in our country it's easy to buy USB/ karaoke dvd player with built in songs and remote control, just buy an audio amp with speaker or 2.1 speaker mic input and finished

Hey curious as to why you need laptop for music when you can just get music from karaoke RU-vid?

There has to be a simpler way for karaoke

Can you explain better how to connect each devise .Thanks

Reason I'm looking at all this stuff I went to a friend's house his karaoke blue away power sing karaoke machine he said his music was free from RU-vid if Cara I'm wondering about this because you said you had to pay for Cara I'm talking to my text so forgive the spelling I know how to spell Keira I do not want a monthly fee for my karaoke any suggestions anybody

But does karafun have anime songs?

why does this come with Weight Loss Resources?

i think you overbought stuffs boss, im a dj and im going to be getting my first karaoke gig in july (goodluck to me lol), but im thinking just to connect two wired microphones to the active speaker and use an aux wire from my laptop to the same active speaker while hdmi split the visuals to a TV. Cos my speaker and most speakers does have mic and line out control separate, only thing is i wont be able to add the reverb which to me is fine, and if i must i can just make the connections tru my NS7ii dj set. i think thats it. dont u think thats just simpler and cheaper if i might add lol.

handsome :)

I’m

You said you are not an expert. Please let the expert do his job 4:07

Use youtube as your karaoke...then mirror your phone or tablet...much better..then get much better mixer with like at least 8 or more channel coz it has fx on it...and i will control how much echo you need

"super easy"?

what good is this if they dont respond? LOL

Everything is great except the part of where it says on the tittle “super easy”!

You take to much, and look at all them wires, i just hook up a pc and use mini studio recorder, easy

so u have an above 1K setup for home karaoke... and then u r taking the signal out with a 3.5 audio jack............ seriously..,if ur going to use a 3.5 out for audio out just buy the 10usd karaoke mic..... with a setup such as this... u should use a USB for the minimum quality.

Next time already have everything opened and working

Effing hell everyone jumps to a damned apple.

9:00 I scared😰

Powered speaker? Dude, ain't you got no stereo system?!

Talk to much

Need better camera person. Can't see what you are pointing to when you describe the connections. Talk too much details.

Just got bored

Lamee..just staraigt to the point man

Way to complicated and all wrong , next time get the LG karaoke party speaker with a key changer so u can sing to any song in ur key with a Apple TV 4K , 2 wireless mikes,,, thank me later !
