I give credit where it is due, Donny...you are a very talented performer.

I'm also going by the definition of Karaoke...it doesn't mention if the orchestral backing tracks were made by the singer or not.

If you make your own SMF, more power to you, although you have admitted to me and several others, that you use mostly edited commercial backgrounds.

It's still singing over a pre-recorded backing isn't it?

BTW, styles don't have to be repetitive, especially if you know how how to edit and assemble, and each style (at least the ones I put together) has 7 variations and each one is usually programmed over at least 8 bars to give it variety.

I rarely use unedited factory styles, except when I'm doing a demo....gotta use them then.

That being said, I see nothing wrong with someone using SMF to "play" over, lots use them, but they are usually playing the keyboard whilst they are singing...walking out into the audience with a mic and singing whilst the SMF is happily going bingity bangity behind you is not playing....not by my definition, anyway.
