Karaoke "sing along"... NOT

Follow
David

Hi folks, Love the program. I am attempting to play the piano. :)

Problem #1 - I am frustrated with the the Lyric screen (Youtube) that is in the upper right corner of the screen! The "words" are very VERY small! You can't follow the piano chords AND the lyrics all at the same time. 

Problem #2 - I want to share the Karaoke concept with other folks in my household. But don't need or want them all crowding around the computer/piano trying to read the small words. I want them to see the words like you do at a Karaoke bar! BIG. And I need them to scroll to the small beat/time as the chords are being presented to me. Kinda like the 'ol school "follow the bouncing ball".  My original thought was to hang a camera over the computer screen and "zoom in" and then somehow get that video signal to an Ipad... somehow!!?? Think "webcam"! 

You guys invented this thing, which- again I love! Please get back to me and let me know what I'm doing wrong and how to achieve what I'm wanted to do!

    I agree - the lyrics are often impossible to read....  would be great if you could make the you tube screen larger or even better would be allow the you tube screen to be a floating new window so you could use two monitors - one for lyrics and one for music.

    Dude- are you my brother from a different mother???
    That is exactly what I am talking about. OMG!!!
    I just wrote back to “Henry” with Chordify. He wrote to me regarding my thoughts. He heiterated the fact that it’s not a singing platform and the algorithms don’t set themselves up for singing... Although, as I pointed out to him, they are promoting a sing-along feature on their website!
    I run a small Karaoke Club and the software I use, does exactly that. Two screens, I drag one over for the singer to see, while I see all the “stuff” required to run the show. Audio control, list of sings, who up next... etc.
    Currently, as I mentioned to Henry. I am using my phone’s camera and zooming in. It’s my hope to perhaps upgrade to a webcam and plug into a laptop. Not sure.
    Anyway- love your thoughts, glad I’m not the only one thinking like this.
    Also- a big shoutout to the folks that drummed up this program! Because of their efforts, me a terrible piano player, is now playing with Bob “freck’n” Dylan! Elton John, Frank Sinatra....
    Love it.
    Play on!!!

    Floating new window is a great idea!

    Currently working through a FaceTime set up.
    Having some internet issues now!
    Ugh!!!
    I tried a lightning connector w/ HDMI out to a monitor. But after $300, all I had was a slightly larger image of my phone. Not good! It’s all going back! Ugh!!!
    Thanks and stay in touch as “we” work through this.
    Cheers - enjoy the Fourth!

    The font size is NOT a Chordify "thing"! IT's a YouTube thing! 

    The FaceTime really works well. Zoom in with the camera phone and beam it over to your IPad! BOOM! your in.

    Easy...

     

    Font size... ain't their problem! :)

     

    Cheers
