If someone has an explanation, then at least there is hope that there may be a fix in the future, but if no one knows why this happens, then I'll be bummed. I really wanted to be able to depend on this feature, and it would have been a no-brainer for $20/month especially once the catalog expands with SunFly's collection. Either way though, it's very disappointing. I suspect it is the tracks themselves, not VirtualDJ. Unfortunately it happened enough times that I had to give up on it. Luckily I was just trying the feature out at a party earlier today and although it was a bit embarrassing, I was able to switch over to the version on my HDD for the tracks that had the issue. For example, 'Sweet Caroline' has the same lag on multiple computers no matter what settings I try. I even tried on a mac and the issue still happens. but some tracks simply had the issue every time. I tried caching, ensuring there was no beat lock, not touching anything, etc. Sonisphere, do you still experience the music/lyrics sync issues? I had the same issue that you describe but nothing would resolve the issue. I am getting close to being able to afford to do this full time. The gigs are getting steady and I am booking up for 2013 quickly. Anyways good Job VDJ team its buggy but it exists and I love it. But my handy dandy back up system (iPad in DL1608 mixer, sweet!!) played while I downloaded tracks completely. This impersonation did not allow me access to my laptop to cache or cue up the next songs before hand. With this in mind I simply turned my laptop toward the vocalist (:^) no extra display available) and enlarged the video window on my laptop and they sang from my screen. It came up as btw type request and Virtual DJ delivered as ussual. A few questions: -Am i supposed to be able to change the key or tempo while keeping the lyrics in sync? If so could the next revision show the key change in the text cover page? - in future revision would there be multiple songs versions to chose from in different keys signatures for example? - Will a bundle be available to buy the entire data base so we don't need to down load the tunes? The challenge with this gig was I had not intended on using the Karaoke feature at all. If there is a market out there for it then I am into it. I would have never considered myself a karaoke DJ but I must admit it was fun. It was the star on my last gig and now has the wheels turning on how I can make money off of this. DarinÄon't get me wrong I love the feature and I rather have it with bugs than not at all. If you want to use the new VDJ karaoke feature make sure you have a solid fast internet connection. Please make sure to add the standards like Bob Marlee. The library needs to be more robust as well. Good thing this feature was a bonus and not my main gig. Not to mention a bag full of other random bugs such as solid color screen not lyrics, transition from the other deck not fading the video, and download stream errors (could be my internet stick) and lyrics freezing halfway through the song Please consider making the karaoke tracks MP4 rather than having the graphics trying to track the audio. I had to not touch the system until the track fully downloaded, reset my video out put, and not cue fast-forward or adjust the track in anyway shape or form for the lyrics to stay in- sync with the video. BUT!!!!! This application (for Mac) was buggy as hell. Good on you VDJ team for adding this feature in a more organized fashion. The guests were slow dancing (lights off and snuggling) two their young nieces and nephews singing a variety of tracks. Last weekend I DJ'd a Filipino 60th birthday party and of course the karaoke feature stole the show. I upgraded my VDJ account with the new karaoke feature with the idea that if I use this feature once a month and it makes the customers happy its worth it.
