When someone comes up and asks me to change the key when they sing a karaoke list, I don't know the progression,,, So I need to know what order the keys are in... make sence?
 
You and me both.....some of the disks will indicate the key on the graphics as they start, and on my mixer it has a up/down key switch, ....or normal.
 
here goes

if your slider moves in half steps...here are the keys in order starting with C

C, D flat, D, E flat, E, F, F sharp, G flat, G, A flat, A, B flat, B

if it moves in whole steps it will be

C, D, E , F, G , A , B back to C

thats known as an Octave.

I had some music theory in high school AGES ago, but I use something called the Circle of Fifths. It shows what the progression of keys visually. It might help you as a reference. The source image is from http://www.carolinaclassical.com/scales/circle.html

It's easier to just to say "Look Pavarotti, just sing the damn song"



LOL! Actually, it's funny, but in all my years at this I've only had 3 requests for a SPECIFIC key. It's always "down 1" or "up 2", meaning half steps. The fact is, if the graphics don't show the key at the beginning of the song, you won't know where to take it anyway, unless you happen to know the key of the original artist offhand. Even then, there's no guarentee that your disc was recorded in the original key.
 
I haven't been asked much either, but on the 6th of May, I'm doing a Karaoke Contest at the Fair... so I'm thinking I might get asked there...
