I'm sorry that you are having problems with our software.

Please try reinstalling the program. What kind of files are you processing? MP3 or WAV?

Admin?, thanks for your response....
The files were ripped from audio CD's and saved as WAV files.
Could you explain how to re-install the software.?
Do I "un-install" and download again?
If so does the 'un-installing" of just the CD+G Creator Pro affect the other
Power Karaoke programs thru ".dll" or similar files? Do I use the same
"UN-LOCK' codes or will I receive new ones. If new ones are required I
need to have them sent to another Email address.
Thanks,
Jerry

Just run the setup file again. You do not need to re-enter the unlock code.

Thanks, that worked...Still getting some of the original vocals..understand this is not unusual ... what happens if you re-do the vocal remover on the same song?

Re-processing of the audio with vocal remover will do no good.

All vocal removal techniques are based on the assumption that the lead vocal is mixed in the middle of the stereo channels. Sometimes the song is produced in a different way and sound effects (reverb or chorus) applied to the lead vocal disturb the algorithm. Also compression used in MP3 makes it often impossible to remove vocal from a song.

As above.

Removing vocals from an audio file is like separating mixed paint. There is usually some echo left over depending on how the origional audio was created. For best results, use a freshly ripped wav file (uncompressed).

It is a matter of adjusting all the settings bit by bit till you get the best result. Have fun!
