Glossary of Karaoke
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few additional
terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke . These terms are meant to familiarize you with the world
of karaoke . Following are some brief explanations .
Echo
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This echo is produced
by creating minor controlled feedback in the singer's voice .
CDGM (Compact Disc Plus Graphics Multiplex )
They are CD's that contain songs that include the lead singer's voice, which can be removed with a
karaoke system that has a balance or multiplex control . The idea is to sing along with the lead singer or
replace the lead singer's voice with yours . Background vocals and backup singers are provided .
Automatic Voice Control (AVC):
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as soon as the
singer begins singing into the microphone . When the singer stops singing, the vocals on the multiplex
recording are automatically re-activated . This useful function is used primarily during practice sessions
while a singer is learning a song . Please note that the AVC function only works with multiplex record-
ings and not with standard audio recordings .
