I am thinking of buying this mixer for Karaoke in my home. My music is in my computer which I connect to my big screen TV. How do I hook up this mixer up to get the music to mix with the singer's voice? Thank you for any help you can give me.

This mixer make your voice better for karaoke, this have the red and white hole for sound. You connect your computer to this mixer, you may need the cable that have red and white hole, and from this mixer you connect to the amplifier with another red and white hole. That's you need to do.

It connects to your computer and will access you tube karaoke songs there.. so you can sing along to almost any song you can think of.. the speakers are good so when I am not using it I keep it connected to use for everything.. the machine itself does not display the words.. just your monitor..

Sorry, please ignore the yes in my previous reply. I accidentally click on the yes button. You need to connect the mixer into the receiver which is used for the microphone. You also need to select which option works with the microphone (e.g. CD/Audio, TV, Phone, etc).

Yes that will work. What happens is, you play your "karaoke'd" track and mix in what you are singing...

It does not play Karaokes. All this machine does is to administer your audio, so if you plan on BUILDING your karaoke system then this machine is perfect for you. When I say administer I mean that you can enter audio signals (for example from the microphone and from the DVD player) and then you can output the mixed signals (for example to a speaker system). I used this to build my own karaoke, but I also had to buy outside speakers (for my patio), an amplifier, a few different types of wire and connectors, and I use my iPad + Apple TV to provide the music (there are so many karaoke songs in YouTube). If you are interested let me know and I can help you out

I'm not sure how you want to hook up to the computer, but I use it with an old portable karaoke machine. I did have to go to radio shack to get wire connections to hook it up. The microphones broadcast but have no speakers of their own. I hope this helps.

Let me give you an overview of how this works: This mixer is not a "soundcard" type device, rather it is a simple mixer that will hook up to your computer using the digital USB port. It allows for external sources (music players, microphones, guitars, etc.) to be routed to your computer's USB port as a STEREO ONLY (left & right audio channels) input device. Using USB for an input will give you a cleaner audio signal that using old analog cables (RCA, 1/4", etc.) This mixer is not controlled by the computer, but there are audio parameters that you can adjust on your PC computer. If you go to START&gt;CONTROL PANEL&gt;SOUND there you can find the global audio settings for the computer. After installation you "may" find some additional settings such as Overall Volume, Left or Right Panning, Input Levels and Output Levels as well as what devices are available. This mixer is not a multi-track recording mixer/soundcard, but you can record up to 2 independent channels (left and right) at once, and using recording software such as Cakewalk, Magix Music, Adobe, etc. you can build up a recording using two tracks at a time. This is a great little mixer to start with for uses that do not require advanced audio engineering demands.

you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best and clearest music from our computer. hope this helped. may God bless and BE BLESSED you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best... » Read More you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best and clearest music from our computer. hope this helped. may God bless and BE BLESSED « Show Less

There are two main ways to connect your instruments to your PC to access the software; one is to buy an audio interface; this is a very basic setup in which you can plug a guitar or instrument into the interface which then sends the data via USB to your software; you also monitor output through the interface. The second way, this is how I do it, is to buy a small mixer which has what is referred to as a "control room" section; this allows you to hook instruments, mics etc to the mixer, feed them into the computer through the PC's line in jack, and monitor the output without creating a feedback loop; I like it best because you don't have to worry about that awful latency problem, the delay between playing and hearing what you played... with this setup you can hook up as many instruments as there are inputs on the mixer; if you play keyboards at all, consider buying a midi controller keyboard, these usually require only a single USB cable to send the signal in and power the keyboard itself, and Mixcraft6 recognized my old midi controller without my having to reinstall the drivers, which was excellent... hope this wasn't too wordy to understand; bottom line, I think buying a mixer is your best bet; you can use headphones or hook it up to a stereo system and listen through speakers.

I would try to find the problem first. Do you need to replace the mixer? or is it the mic? or is a speaker blown? Find the problem before spending money on a solution.

I recently bought the Akaii karaoke machine. I am not sure if the Mp3 works. I have not tried that yet. I got karaoke cd+g from Amazon. You may want to get music with the vocals to help you sing the songs if you don't know them well. That was the mistake I made. I only bought instrumental only karaoke music and could not sing a lot of the songs since I did not know them all that well.

Thank you for your inquiry. If you are setting up a karaoke system, we would recommend getting a USB mixer for your computer in addition to the KRK speakers. This will make it possible for you to mix your microphone levels and speaker levels.

As others have said, you can't use the amplifier to mix sources, however if the intent is to do a karaoke-type thing you should be able to connect the wireless mic to the laptop and the laptop to the amplifier. I suspect there is software to do what you are trying to do.Another possible alternative would be to put 2 zones in the same room with 2 sets of speakers, one with the laptop, the other the microphone. as others have said you would want to make sure the mic reciever had line level output. The advantage would be controlling the mic and laptop volume independantly from the control panels.

Depends on whether the mixer is a "powered" mixer or not. This is a "powered" (active) monitor, so it's meant to be used with a "non-powered" mixer. In other words you EITHER amplify at the mixer and use a "passive" monitor, or amplify at the monitor/speaker by using an "active" monitor (which this is). Actually, it will work with either, you just have to make sure you use the correct inputs.

Yes, use RCA plugs out of the karaoke mic unit to the RCA input 'Microphone' jack on your computer.

it's only on channel 3. the mixer does not control MIDI. I use an SL box to run Serato with this mixer. It says you can play music from Mac/pc via USB but it can't split the music to other channels....I consider it to basically be a conventional mixer with a USB good for recording
