Thanks!
Thanks!

you could run sonique as a background, as a test, first off start your karaoke tune away, then activate sonique, using the transparency slider adjust until your happy with the results, you may have to disable sonique in config > video if selected to play when audio only, you can also apply this in other effects as well including video etc... hope that helps

I'd be careful of using both sonique and a video at the same time.
It's not that it can;t be done, It's that sonique as a visualization and it uses a lot of cpu to read and draw the visualization. Unless you have a HOT ROD of a computer to run that on a Video and Sonique visualization will be a MAJOR cpu hog

Marcel made a very good point! Of all the video effects that i been using with video mixing sonique gave me most of the problem, e.g freezing video, forever loading of video and audio tracks, etc.
So avoid using sonique if u can.

yep sonique is a hog but i edited out those that were taxing, and have combined sonique over video while using the cube effect, which is why i told him to test before going live.

I regularly mix and match videos, sonique and karaoke graphics all at the same time. No problems.
Use fade as the video transition and the video crossfader will bring the karaoke graphics through the video.
If the punter singing is dodgy you can overlay the karaoke graphics over the real song, an easy way is if you run another playout system like PCDJ at the same time on another pc you can play the song from that system - then time the VJ karaoke graphics on the main system to pick up on the song using the pitch controls. This will then leave you another deck to bring videos through. 3 decks running but loads of options.
I using a Hercules RMX this is easy to do.

We tried doing the sonique thing and tyhe singers complained it "distracted them" from the words so we stopped
