I already have media sources (e.g. VCD/DVD). I just came
across this device. Perhaps it's too good and expensive
for my purpose. But I wouldn't know until I somehow check
it out.

Your response to my question helps me focus my reply appropriately.
When I bought mine it was on "special" at approx $1200.
I guess you are aware that there are any number of dvd, vcd etc
machines that have built in echo/key control and vocal elimination??
If this is the main reason you are looking at the VE4 I think you
could put your money to better use.
I (now) use mine to perform the functions you seek - but only because
I have one. I originally purchased it for vocal elimination of a lot
of old records I had which I thought I could never obtain on CD.
The best quality karaoke media is cd+g.
What are you using to play your tracks at present?
Are you looking for a setup to be used only at home or what?

>Michael,
I already bought my DVD/VCD player (last week as a matter of fact).
Now I'm looking for just mixers. Presumably, any songs that I have
would be on DVD/VCDs. That's the form that I come to know Karaoke
some 10 years ago. I'm using it presumably for home use only. I
currently already have a mic mixer, however, its performance is very
poor (something I bought cheap 10 years ago). Now I want something better,
to make singing more enjoyable.
Are you aware of any good brand mixers (other than vocoPro) selling
at under $400 USD?

Thanks for the link. I'd look into it.

In that case, nop. But that is a different approach than the one
I picked. Mine has no Karaoke features at all.
I've also been interested in the machine machine
which sells for around $1400 (US) I'm a
amateur singer who would gladly pay it if I
was convinced that it would work. They
ask you to send some of your music to them
and they promise to send you a tape of the results.
I never bothered. I'd prefer seeing one at
a local studio and trying it out before buying it.
They evade the question of who has a machine
locally in my area.
Let me know what you hear from others
