I need advice on how to get started creating Karaoke CDG discs. I'm using the trial version of Karaoke Plus. All the technical issues seem understandable. Where I'm specifically having issues is synchronizing the lyrics with the music. Isn't there a better way than dinging the spacebar? Isn't there some automated way to accomplish this?

I'm finding that getting the timing correct is near impossible and takes forever. Either I'm hitting the spacebar to slow or I'm dinging it like I'm shooting aliens in some video game. Any advice would be helpful.

Is there a way to slow the song down to a drawl?

I am afraid at the moment we do not have a slowdown possibility. But there are more techniques you may apply to make the flow correct.

1. If you always press the space bar too late or to early you may use 'Shift labels' command from Edit menu to move all labels by a given offset.
2. You may resynchronize a single line only
3. You may use the soundtrack panel to change the position of selected label.

And I am afraid there is no way of automating the process -- all software does it this way and I guess it will be the way of things in the future. However once you finish your first song the next one will be much easier. PowerKaraoke Plus is being used by professional karaoke companies and it does the job for them.
