How To Make Instrumental Karaoke Songs?

The DJ up at my Austin Karaoke bar showed me how to do this, I now make them on a regular basis so I can make sure I have the songs I want and it's high quality.

Step 1: Find the instrumental to the song. Typically if you simply do a search on the internet you can find it believe it or not. A lot of mine I pull off of YouTube by searching "<song name> and Instrumental, then I download the YouTube video as an mp3.

Step 2: Download a karaoke creator software. You can find some decent ones for free on downloads .com, download it and install. If you're serious about it, consider purchasing a full professional version.

Step 3: Use the program to create it. It's easy, you just import the mp3, then you type in the Words to the song. How you make the Words go to the music is by hitting the "transcribe" button (sometimes called something different) and then the music starts. You hit the spacebar along with the Words and it synchronizes it. You'll see once you get in the program.

Then you just export the completed song and zip it up for the DJ at your bar to upload to his files. It's easy and you get high quality songs - been doing it a long time. Enjoy!
