Karaoke Software Needed to Start a Business
Hi, my name is Richard Buccola of Starlite Karaoke here in New York City and on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to show you how to start and run a successful karaoke business. In the old days when I first started I had a big amplifier, turn tables, well actually dual CD thing to play music. What's great about this with this copy host I could play in between music, between the karaoke singers. A big problem I use to have with the old method was that I use to be boggled by a rotation of people saying I'm next, when am I next and with this system it actually puts your rotation in order. It tells you what time they came in, last time they performed and next time performing. Which is kind of cool because what's great on this big monitor here that everybody sees it tells them who's appearing next Alexe Colbus. A start indicates it's a first time performer letting me know that they're going to be a first time performer. It also tells you upcoming performances of who's coming up, it would say Meaghan's next and so forth as the names go by. A great, great system because it keeps it fair. Again, karaoke you're going to find it very clicky and people know when they're next and they're waiting to sing so here's a good way to at least keep them honest and copy host is a great, great, great program and what's great is while I have a singer up, I'm getting a singer up to sing I'm getting the in between music ready and as the show goes it just flows. As that song ends in between music comes I introduce the next singer.
