Topic: easyKRM - Page: 5
Hey, so I'm using VDJ with Easy KRM, using MP4s in Automix for filler, and using the Automix Live plugin here and there to control the filler clips- about once a night, about halfway thru the playback, the track will stop suddenly while the singer is singing and the filler music comes on- the singer is staring at me like (!!!!) and I'm completely in the dark- ever heard of anything like that?
 
Nothing specific to what the plugin does.
It will unload a deck but only to replace a placeholder on deck. but then I can't think of anything that would unload a deck automatically otherwise.
Karaoke isn't my thing (I call it exported Japanese sonic torture) but one thing I do know from making the plugin, there's no standard procedure. If you can recreate the bug I can work on it but there's too many weird ways people work for me to chase vaguely described happenings.
 
I don't see this plugin in Virtual DJ 2025. Where can I find it?

in the vdj gui you'll find the fx under master fx panel in 'other' folder
[that way forces calling only from deck master, as intended]
 
I have been using this plugin for years now. The things I find most "glitchy" in its use :
1. next singer just disappears if I am adding a song too close to the finish of the current singer.
2. You can't put duplicate songs in the rotation - I know this is a VDJ thing but still.
 
1 unfortunately being an automatic sequence, it's just one of those things you need to avoid doing
2 I'll have a look maybe I could refactor how it keeps the list.
 
Thank you. Another concern is it takes an additional step (risky step too) to clean up the way the history is stored. It gets cluttered up very quickly with duplicates. And I should add that I love having this plugin and have been using it for years in case I sound ungrateful.
 
That's vdj dealing with singer history but you can do a script to automate cleaning history as part of your weekly housekeeping, some users want a full log of a singers most frequent songs so it's not for me to touch.
 
Hey, so is there a way to remove a placeholder who does not have a song queued up from the singer list? I have tried the remove button on the right and also the right click/ 'remove from this list' option- when I use the remove button funny things happen, like another singer reappearing in its place - the right click option seems to be the smoothest, although after I do that, the 'dropped singer' phenomenon seems to happen more frequently -Many thanks - I would pay money to get these problems resolved - I'm doing karaoke five nights a week and the busy season is coming -

I'm able to just hit the keyboard delete key on the placeholder in the karaoke list and it deletes with no issue. I don't mess with many of the built-in buttons with Easykrm and I renamed someof them so they make sense to me. I only use Insert (to add singer's name), History, Add Song To Singer (which adds the song to the singer's name/place in rotation) and 'send to wait list' (I think the name 'wait list' makes more sense than working list).

 
Hi,

I have just found this plugin and have been playing around with it for the past 24 hours.

It's much better than the standard Karaoke feature which is built into VDJ, however I have a couple of questions.

I'm trying to figure out if I can use this in my shows.

I run a night whereby I DJ at the beginning and then gradually I get more and more singers who want to take part in the karaoke. I also will have parts of the night where the karaoke dies down and people want to dance. Is it possible to do the following with this plugin.

DJ manually on both decks (which allows me to use my controller to mix etc...)
Have easyKRM just manage the rotation while allowing me to freely choose when and on what deck a karaoke song is played.
Use the text button to show "Next Singer" when I hit the button. I don't want singer 2 or 3 etc....

Thanks in advance for any help
 
just turn karaoke off when you're doing the mixing thing and then turn it back on after.

I actually recently made a branch for a couple of people that allowed for a limit on singer names, they controlled that from the pad page.

pad page is available on my discord [check my profile plage here and then krm forum there]
 
Is the most recent pad page still showing a date of 2023 in Discord even though updated? I don't use Discord much. Seem to remember that even if date shows older, that the link may be updated?
 
probably, I sent out a private edited version with the fork, I'm thinking on further singer list text customisations so I'll release an updated padpage once I've figured out how I'm going change the plugin.
