Need recommendations for karaoke machine
I’ve only semi recently gotten the courage to actually go up and sing in front of people and the overwhelming positivity from friends and strangers has been so healing that I decided to get my own machine and start hosting parties. I have a couple of friends with machines, but they live far away and I’d like to have something for those that are in town and those that are visiting. I’m not opposed to a complicated setup, I just want something that will last if that makes sense? I’ve been saving up and my budget is appx 1k but if I need to save a little longer then I’ll do that. I’ve seen that there are some that are portable and some mentions of updating the libraries with new songs and I just want something that I can manage if I need to. One of my friends has a cart on wheels with a laptop and speakers and a couple mics and we just YouTube and that seems to work pretty well, but I feel like there’s pros and cons to something like that and buying a laptop just for karaoke seems like overkill. I guess I’m looking for a good portable and non portable setup. A couple of my friends have worked in radio and music recording so I’d like something that even they could appreciate.
TLDR: looking for a karaoke setup. Complexity is not an issue. Appx 1k budget, but willing to save more. Portable vs non portable and any other pros/cons highly appreciated!
Thank you!!!
