1
00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:02.470
A karaoke night starts at the booth.

2
00:00:02.950 --> 00:00:06.370
The host powers up, opens Auto-KJ, and gets the
room ready.

3
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:08.650
Here's one night from start to finish.

4
00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:12.310
Setting up the show, a singer picking a song and
joining the line,

5
00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:14.430
and the reasons she has to come back.

6
00:00:15.888 --> 00:00:17.388
Start with the pre-show check.

7
00:00:17.768 --> 00:00:21.808
It puts the library, missing files, audio
output, singer connections,

8
00:00:21.968 --> 00:00:23.748
and show screens on one checklist.

9
00:00:24.268 --> 00:00:26.688
Fix anything it flags while the room is still
empty.

10
00:00:27.028 --> 00:00:30.328
Then open online requests on a connected show
and decide whether

11
00:00:30.328 --> 00:00:33.468
you'll approve them yourself or let AutoApprove
handle them.

12
00:00:34.787 --> 00:00:36.907
The library tools keep the songbook tidy.

13
00:00:37.347 --> 00:00:40.047
You can review duplicate versions, fix song
details,

14
00:00:40.187 --> 00:00:42.227
and rank your preferred manufacturers so

15
00:00:42.227 --> 00:00:44.407
AutoApprove selects your preferred version.

16
00:00:44.767 --> 00:00:47.627
Or pick a default version for any single song so

17
00:00:47.627 --> 00:00:49.627
the system grabs the one you'd choose yourself.

18
00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:52.910
Decide how repeats work in your room.

19
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:56.650
You can block a song for the whole night or put
it on a cool down timer.

20
00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:00.010
A song that's already waiting in the queue can't
be requested again.

21
00:01:00.010 --> 00:01:02.790
The host gets a simple policy to point to when

22
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.770
someone asks why their song got bounced.

23
00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:09.478
Out in the room, Maya spots the show's QR code
and scans it.

24
00:01:09.718 --> 00:01:11.858
The singer site opens right in her phone's
browser

25
00:01:11.858 --> 00:01:13.438
with no app store download.

26
00:01:13.838 --> 00:01:15.598
She types a stage name and she's in.

27
00:01:16.038 --> 00:01:18.658
She can sing as a guest or sign up for a free
account.

28
00:01:20.005 --> 00:01:23.045
An account takes a display name, an email, and a
password.

29
00:01:23.705 --> 00:01:26.685
Maya gets a profile, saved favorites, and a
singing history.

30
00:01:27.125 --> 00:01:28.125
Next karaoke night,

31
00:01:28.205 --> 00:01:30.905
she won't have to dredge up every song she likes
from memory.

32
00:01:32.486 --> 00:01:35.666
Maya searches by song or artist and sees what's
really available.

33
00:01:36.166 --> 00:01:38.306
She can save a favorite or open the request.

34
00:01:38.806 --> 00:01:40.206
This time she's singing solo.

35
00:01:40.686 --> 00:01:42.566
The same screen collects names for a duet

36
00:01:42.566 --> 00:01:44.786
or a bigger group up to the host's limit.

37
00:01:46.364 --> 00:01:48.204
Favorites keep her go-to songs close.

38
00:01:48.574 --> 00:01:50.524
History shows what she's already sung.

39
00:01:50.684 --> 00:01:52.704
So instead of searching from scratch each time,

40
00:01:52.884 --> 00:01:54.104
she can pick up an old standby

41
00:01:54.104 --> 00:01:57.444
or use her past songs as a jumping off point for
something new.

42
00:01:57.804 --> 00:02:01.124
When requests are closed, she can save songs to
her setlist for later.

43
00:02:02.407 --> 00:02:06.007
Singers can connect by scanning each other's
personal friend QR codes.

44
00:02:06.207 --> 00:02:07.717
Once both people have scanned,

45
00:02:07.807 --> 00:02:10.167
they can browse each other's profiles and
singing history.

46
00:02:10.707 --> 00:02:12.187
Maya is already connected with Casey,

47
00:02:12.467 --> 00:02:14.267
so she can see what Casey likes to sing.

48
00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:17.192
Duet Matches compares histories

49
00:02:17.192 --> 00:02:19.452
and lists the songs both friends have completed.

50
00:02:19.972 --> 00:02:20.912
For Maya and Casey,

51
00:02:21.252 --> 00:02:24.152
that means a song they already know from singing
it on their own.

52
00:02:24.612 --> 00:02:27.932
They can talk it over, then use the group
request flow when they're ready.

53
00:02:29.058 --> 00:02:30.678
Achievements add some fun.

54
00:02:31.178 --> 00:02:33.578
Your first ever performance earns first blood.

55
00:02:34.098 --> 00:02:36.418
Other badges recognize song counts and variety,

56
00:02:36.898 --> 00:02:39.378
and there are early bird and closing night
badges too.

57
00:02:39.858 --> 00:02:43.298
The host can even hand out the tongue-in-cheek,
annoy the KJ badge.

58
00:02:43.718 --> 00:02:45.538
All of it lands on the singer's profile,

59
00:02:45.638 --> 00:02:48.498
and you can wear your favorite earned badge on
the rotation screen.

60
00:02:50.264 --> 00:02:53.884
Profile photos can show up on the rotation TV
and the between song screen,

61
00:02:53.964 --> 00:02:55.684
so people can put faces to names.

62
00:02:56.124 --> 00:02:57.624
Maya can watch her place in line

63
00:02:57.624 --> 00:03:00.344
and opt into an on-deck alert when her turn is
close.

64
00:03:00.724 --> 00:03:03.804
How well notifications work depends on her
device and connection.

65
00:03:05.484 --> 00:03:08.164
Anyone without a phone can use a shared tablet
kiosk.

66
00:03:08.404 --> 00:03:10.524
They pick a song, say how many people are
singing,

67
00:03:10.704 --> 00:03:11.684
and type in the names.

68
00:03:12.064 --> 00:03:14.064
Or the host can add a walk-in at the booth.

69
00:03:14.504 --> 00:03:16.184
Everybody gets in the same show.

70
00:03:17.621 --> 00:03:18.321
Back to Maya.

71
00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:21.321
She submits Neon Nights and it lands in the
host's inbox.

72
00:03:21.781 --> 00:03:24.761
With manual approval, the host looks it over and
approves it.

73
00:03:25.081 --> 00:03:27.621
Maya gets her spot in line behind the singer's
already waiting

74
00:03:27.621 --> 00:03:28.961
and her phone shows it.

75
00:03:30.103 --> 00:03:33.423
For ordinary requests, the host can turn on
auto-approve.

76
00:03:33.743 --> 00:03:36.923
Clean requests go straight into the rotation
using the preferred version.

77
00:03:37.463 --> 00:03:39.643
Duplicates and blocked songs still get rejected.

78
00:03:40.103 --> 00:03:43.263
The host stays in charge without handling every
request by hand.

79
00:03:44.736 --> 00:03:47.296
Between singers, Breakwave keeps the room's
energy up.

80
00:03:47.676 --> 00:03:50.236
The host loads music on two decks, shapes the
mix,

81
00:03:50.456 --> 00:03:52.056
and manages one shared playlist.

82
00:03:52.536 --> 00:03:55.656
On a paid plan, Auto-Mix runs that playlist with
transitions,

83
00:03:55.956 --> 00:03:58.176
and the host can still choose what plays next.

84
00:03:58.616 --> 00:04:00.316
The soundboard, Pro FX Rack,

85
00:04:00.456 --> 00:04:03.856
and drum sequencer give the host more ways to
keep the room entertained.

86
00:04:04.656 --> 00:04:06.916
Master and routing controls keep the audio
organized.

87
00:04:08.352 --> 00:04:11.632
The rotation screen keeps the order visible to
the host and the room.

88
00:04:11.972 --> 00:04:15.792
A ready duet shares a single turn and the host
sets the group turn policy.

89
00:04:16.172 --> 00:04:17.792
With songs and requests sorted out,

90
00:04:17.912 --> 00:04:20.372
there's more attention left for the singers and
the mood.

91
00:04:20.872 --> 00:04:23.892
On a paid plan, there's even a preview in the
rotation tab.

92
00:04:24.192 --> 00:04:26.332
With a separate headphone cue output configured,

93
00:04:26.552 --> 00:04:29.112
you can see the graphics and listen to the
karaoke track

94
00:04:29.112 --> 00:04:31.392
while a singer is on stage giving it their all.

95
00:04:31.712 --> 00:04:33.452
That gives you four separate views.

96
00:04:33.832 --> 00:04:36.812
The host controls, singer lyrics, rotation
board,

97
00:04:37.072 --> 00:04:38.272
and a private preview.

98
00:04:38.732 --> 00:04:41.812
We haven't found another karaoke host with this
four view setup.

99
00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:45.760
When the night wraps up, the host can see
completed songs,

100
00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:49.300
singer's tracked, applause taps, and the busiest
hour.

101
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.730
Top songs and the performance log are there to
check the details.

102
00:04:53.340 --> 00:04:54.540
A report scoped to a night

103
00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:57.560
and gig gives the host something solid to bring
to the venue.

104
00:04:59.096 --> 00:05:02.616
That's Auto-KJ, a host workflow, a singer-
songbook,

105
00:05:02.716 --> 00:05:06.236
and the social side of karaoke, all in one
connected night.

106
00:05:06.816 --> 00:05:08.696
Visit auto-kj.com.

107
00:05:09.196 --> 00:05:12.396
