Step 01: Click “On” to turn on the Karaoke function (that button will be blue.)

Step 02: When singing a song, you may need the Voice Echo to make the singing more euphonious. You can select “Microphone Echo” to get the effect and adjust the volume of the echo sound to optimize it. When you are talking to other people over the network like messenger, VOIP, online game applications, you can also choose Magic VoiceTM effect in the pull-down menu to disguise your identification or just for fun. Just select one kind of the voice type.

(These two features require real-time Microphone recording. You should suspend other

recording application.)

Step 03: You can enable Key-Shifting for the Karaoke VCD or the music to make it suitable for your voice pitch. The range is -4b to +4#.

Step 04: If the music source includes original singer’s voice, you may try “Vocal Cancellation” function to cancel it (0~100). But the effect doesn’t always work well and it depends on the recording method of the source. It’s usually not needed for Karaoke VCD or CD, which do not have voice inside generally.
