Can you sing without the songs playing so you only hear your voice with the vocal effects?

Yes. You can sing by yourself--and frankly it sounds better that way. Unless you download some songs, the included ones kinda stink (though my 4yr olds enjoyed singing along with them even though they didn't know all the words).

It is very basic....you can talk without music playing. Sound quality is very poor.

Hi, you can, but it sounded scratchy and muffled. This product is cheap, I returned it to Amazon after it ate and wouldn't give back a CD. It is horribly made- dont buy it.

Elisa, they do work without any music playing but you do hear a not more of the surrounding noise. The more expensive models I have tried do a little better job without music. But not considerably better.

Yes. The karaoke machine has a screen that will display the words of the songs, when playing cds that are specifically for karaoke machines. If you play a regular cd, words will not scroll, but you can still listen and sing along.

No, this unit's output is an amalgam of the guitar, which must be in perfect tune, the vocal input, and the harmonic voice tones generated by the unit. There's no way to separate them in the output. It is designed more for live performances than recording and as such, no such options were designed into it.

Yes, of course... Simply turn the 'Guitar' volume knob all the way down. It doesn't change the 'input' volume or presence of the guitar. I do this all the time and it works great! Also, for 'just harmony', rotate the 'Harmony' knob all the way to the right, and only harmonies will come out. However, why not use your 'main vocal' as one of the harmony parts when over-dubbing? This can 'thicken' the harmonies... Also, to give the harmonies presence, perform them twice into two separate tracks and pan each hard-left/right, respectively and delay one side about 6-to-8 ms and listen to the magic!

I have not done that, but the product description says you can. I listen to the radio or my ipod on it while I sew.I was thinking of getting audio books to play (on CD), but have not done so. (No pun intended)

Yes, you can. I have used that feature on airplanes when I did not want to listen to music but wanted to drown out the airplane noise.

Yes, you can just use the microphones without a disc playing. The only way to control the volume on the microphones is by the distance your mouth is from the microphones. That is a drawback, as they are quite loud if you are close to them.

Yes. If you just turn it on and do not push any of the "Song" buttons there is no music. It works like a simple microphone.

Voice and sound effects will be played at the same time basically if there is a version that is divided only sound effects. Please try to see because it attached the URL of the video sites below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRMMHHZsNEA

This device will perform the harmony without the instruments. It follows your voice. However if there is an instrument it follows the chords and it will usually sound better. As for the microphone inputs, it has only one input.

Hi - the microphone will allow you to sing your own songs if you don't press the song button and the unit is on. Good luck!

there is an on-off function on the setup menu. But why deprive yourself of hearing how crazy you sound when you sing along with the radio? ;)

Not a silly question. I've heard stories that it can't be done or that it can only be done with certain sound cards, but nothing definitive. I'd ask the same question - can you listen while recording, either through the computer OR through the separate audio output simultaneously?

As in being played back through the speakers? That would only happen if you have your Microphone turned to "Always Listening" in the Windows Audio settings.

Hello Simon, Unfortunately no. You can turn off the voice prompt, so you will not here the voice. But the key strike tones are always there. Thanks. Fortress 253 468 0196
