Q. How do I make my own lyric for the music I have?
A. You need to create a LRC file for the music file.
LRC is a file format that contains lyrics, artist, title and time
information for each line of text to display. With a combination
of media file and LRC file, Walaoke will be able to read them
together and create karaoke music with the right timing
highlighting the lyrics on top of video display in the background.
The filename of the lrc file must have the same name as the media
file. Most softwares uses a combination of only .mp3 and .lrc. For
example, mymusic.mp3 and mymusic.lrc. With Walaoke, you are not
limited to that. You are free to use any audio or video format
with the lyric file. So, it can be myvideo.vob and myvideo.lrc,
mymusic.wmv and mymusic.lrc.
Example of a simple LRC format.
[ti: Title of song]
[ar: Artist]
[mm:ss.xx] line 1
[mm:ss.xx] line 2
...
[mm:ss.xx] last line
An English song example.
[ti:Say You Will]
[ar:Tokyo Square]
[00:18.79] Say you will, say you will be mine.
[00:22.36] I just keep missing you tonight
[00:26.24] I feel so unsure, I feel so alone.
[00:29.79] I just don't dare to open my eyes.
Only in Walaoke, you have the ability to create lyrics file that
distinguish Male, Female and Duet for the sentence. So you can
have different color for each of the difference.
A tag is place at the beginning of the sentence until a new tag is
needed.
M: for male (blue)
F: for female (red)
D: for duet (pink)
