I now have to do karaoke, but how do I connect the microphones to a standard mixer and add echo?
At the pub they have a Numark CM200 USB mixer installed that I plugg my hercules into (I know the nunark CM has USB, but I havn't figured out how to make it work with virtual DJ yet).
The thing is all my microphones are XLR so I need some sort of adaptor box to plugg them into (minimum two mics), that has echo or reverb for the karaoke
with standard RCA outputs
. Any ideas what I need? Or are USB microphones any good? Even if you can't get a box to plugg XLR into, I can always cut the ends off and put a different connector on the ends of my mic's.
Hope someone has some ideas? At the minute I'm having to use my Studiomaster powered mixer
just so I can get echo. It's one heavy bit of kit.
Cheers.

UB1204FX which comes in a 2 input and 4 input model

Yeah that would work, but still would take up almost as much space on the desk and again seems like alot just for me to add echo.
Also I don't want to spend too much like I keep saying I just want to add a bit of echo for the singers.
Can I buy something like this:
but instead of the dials for volume controll they were for echo controll?
Or better still, can you buy microphones with echo built in? Just adjust it with a dial or a screw on the side before giving it to the singer?
Something like this would be great, obviously not for kids! lol.

Try hercules's karaoke console.
I have NO idea how good/bad it is.
Going by they're DJ Console - it'll be middle of the road.
But price is right and it'll do your karaoke gigs for you

Looks more like a stand-alone karaoke thingy, doesn't say if it will work with virtual Dj or not, as I now use firtual DJ to play the karaoke files I don't want to have to mess about with different software.

Vocal eliminator.

Vocal eliminator isn't much use if you don't have the words on the screen. Besides like I say I'm using Virtual DJ to play my karaoke files.
I've seen the microphone control plug-ins in the download section, is there one that allows echo? That way I could plugg all my mics into the hercule's or another sound card.
