Singing along with conventional
audio CDs or tapes — Vocal Masking
When playing a stereo recorded source such as conventional
audio CDs or tapes, you can reduce the lead vocal and replace
it with your voice by singing into the microphone. Usually
stereo recorded CDs are the best source for Vocal Masking.
What Vocal Masking actually does
Vocal Masking reduces the lead vocal (but never erases it).
The following sources are not good for Vocal Masking.
• Monaural sources
• Multiplex karaoke tapes and discs
• Poorly dubbed tapes
• Stereo recorded source, butwithonlyfew Instruments, with
duets, or with strong echo
Operation

2. Connect the microphone (not supplied) into the MIC
jack on the front panel.
