Everything About Karaoke Machines

By Darren Kielich


The invention of the karaoke machine has really taken the music world to its best. Folks of all ages, all genders and all types of voices, may it be good or bad, this karaoke machine can be very much enjoyed.

Below is your guide to singing with programmed music. It will also expose the progress of the invention through the years. Where Karaoke Machines Came From

Actually, it was invented by a singer named Daisuke Inoue developed a tape recorder that could play a song for a 100-yen coin. It was during the 1970s in Japan. The listeners during the performance really wanted to sing along during a company vacation so they wanted him to provide his song on a tape.

Daisuke made some reflections and he thought it was indeed a great idea and could be applied not only for his song but for all other songs. Inoue basically rented his recorders to stores and did not sold it directly to the people.

The restaurants and hotel rooms were the major places that these machines were placed. In 2004, Inoue got the chance to earn an award named tongue-in-cheek In Nobel Peace prize for his invention.

USA Gets a Taste Of Karaoke

In the Year 1990s, United States' bars which are called KTV boxes already began having competitions or fun nights for amateur singers.

Advancement of these Machines

Originally, these machines are used with cassette tapes, but later CDs, laser discs, VCDs and today's DVDs are now used for these machines.A more advanced machine has made some improvements too since it comes now with audio input, audio output, and a way to alter the pitch of the music. Audio mixers are the ones that are so popular today. These mixers can include a microphone input that's built in with a Laser Disc, Video CD, CD+G or DVD player. KTV are usually those machines which can let you see the video lyrics while singing.

In addition, it can now be possible for these modern machines to change the pitch of the music, or key, to fit the vocal range of the singer. There are songs that are too high for the singer so it can actually be played with a lower key.

The Advent of Computer Generated Songs

Now, through the use of the technology, the songs in the karaoke can now be played over computers everywhere via music files such as MIDI, MP3 and many others. What you need with this is a downloadable karaoke player instead of having the exact machine that was used originally. Both the players and song files will be seen and downloaded through the use of the Internet.

Coming Soon Are Much Better

In order to have better use of the machine, some advances were made to make it a lot better. It has really evolved greatly starting from being an auto karaoke to mobile phones, then there will finally be a time to let the people "sing along" from just about anywhere before long.
