Karaoke Player
PCDJ-KJ comes with its own high-performance player to operate and control your MP3+G and WMA+G karaoke files. The player utilizes the PCDJ sound engine and displays elapsed time, remaining time, track name, and BPM. The karaoke player also has an "Auto fire" option which when applied will automatically start player A, B, or both immediately after the karaoke song ends. This function is great for smooth professional transitions to background music while the next karaoke singer is taking place on stage. The karaoke player also gives the ability to the DJ to beat match to player A or B. Now you can add a cool beat or remix your karaoke songs!

Video Outputs
PCDJ-KJ comes with two video-output screens. One screen is anchored to the software interface for the user to control and the other is a floating window that can be output to an additional monitor and enlarged to full screen for the singer to read off. Watch the karaoke lyrics sync up with the music without a CD in sight. PCDJ-KJ also comes with independent volume and EQ controls, so the user can fine-tune karaoke songs easily. PCDJ-KJ sets the standard in digital performance for the professional.

The Recordcase and Kamikaze Feature
PCDJ-KJ utilizes the powerful recordcase in PCDJ FX that gives the user the ability to search, sort, and organize the karaoke music in multiple ways. The recordcase also allows the user to save play lists and keep a log of the songs that were played. The PCDJ-KJ software also comes with a Kamikaze button feature. This is a random singer control. Just get your karaoke singer on stage and press the Kamikaze button and see what song it loads. This is a great feature for competitions or if you have any hecklers in the crowd, get them on stage and go kamikaze!

On-Deck Singer Control
PCDJ-KJ has an on-deck convenient singer waitlist control. This is great for organizing the karaoke singers in a next-on-stage order. Enter the name of the singer, select the song they are going to sing, and add them to the list. This is just another feature that displays an overall professional appearance on the PCDJ-KJ software.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from Visiosonic!, December 23, 2004

By	Seth Graham (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: VISIOSONIC PCDJ Karaoke ( Windows ) (CD-ROM)

I was recently in the market for a DJ software package so I could transition into MP3 dj-ing. I thought PCDJ was the best software on the market, clearly I was wrong. When the software was functioning (rarely), the features that first attracted me to it worked fine. Then, things went downhill from there. First off, PCDJ has a sound dropping issue. Whenever one would maximize or minimize a window, the sound would stutter or skip, producing a horrendous noise. Visiosonic has addressed the issue, but has yet to produce a fix. It also turns out Visiosonic has a ridiculous licensing/product activation system that will lock you out of the application by changing even the slightest settings to your system's hardware (BIOS update or a video card driver update for example). I paid PCDJ and now I can't use it. Tech support was an absolute joke; it took them one week to respond to my inquiry and finally unlocked my software. After the same thing happened again about a month later, I decided to forget about PCDJ all together. Think twice before purchasing any Visiosonic product, it's just not worth the money. Sadly enough, the application lockout happened right before one of my DJ jobs, a very embarrassing situation indeed. Look at other software packages (heck, even iTunes is better than this) before stooping to this.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD STUFF, March 25, 2007

This review is from: VISIOSONIC PCDJ Karaoke ( Windows ) (CD-ROM)

I've been using this product for 3+ years and it works extremely well! The tech support people don't know how to talk to the regular customer and the manual has very little help but after going for advice the the PCDJ forum you can find out anything you need.

3.0 out of 5 stars just couldn't get it working....., April 21, 2009

I loved the concept and tried to execute, but couldn't get it all together. I don't know if it was something I did, or the software itself, but never got it to work. I tried the "blue" software free download and I loved that, but never got this working yet. I'm going to tackle it again sometime -- could be user error, but not that simple to use initally.
