Creating duets

Top  Previous  Next

Simple duets

Simple duet mode changes text settings using predefined duet styles to visualize the change of the singer. For more information please see section Using duet events.

 

Advanced duets

Karaoke Video Creator version allows to create professional parallel duets. The most important features are:

 

Duet Wizard that helps to assign lyrics to singers

Full duet synchronization mode

Divided screen for duets (Singer 1 at top and Singer 2 at the bottom of the screen) with separate settings for each of the singers

 

duet split

 

Please note that in tutorials section you will find Create song with duets tutorial.

 

General remarks

In duet mode Karaoke Video Creator divides the song in three modes: parts that are to be sung by Singer 1, those to be sung by Singer 2, and parts of the song sung together by both singers.

 

Parts sung by both singers are displayed in the same manner as the lyrics in non-duets song. But when Karaoke Video Creator finds duet part, it divides the screen into two parts and displays lyrics for singer 1 at the top, and lyrics for singer 2 at the bottom (see image above).

 

To enable duets in Karaoke Video Creator use Full duet mode toolbar button (toolbar-fullduetmode) or select Enable full duet mode from synchronization menu.

 

Non-split duets

If you do not wish to split the screen between two singers and rather have words for both singers displayed one after another, disable Full duet mode before creating video file (it must be enabled during the synchronization mode). Also the lyrics for both singers should interleave -- they need to be in the same order as they should be displayed (so in general this will be like simple duets, but with concurrent highlighting.

 

duet no split

 

We have prepared an example that shows this -- it is brother john no split.pk2 file located in Examples subdirectory of Karaoke Video Creator directory (usually C:\Program Files\Doblon\Karaoke Video Creator or Documents\My Karaoke\Karaoke Video Creator Examples on Windows 7 or Vista).

 

Multiple languages

Full duet mode can be used to create song in two languages.
