Aria Karaoke Pro

Aria Karaoke Pro is an advanced karaoke application built for professional karaoke jockeys or enthusiasts.

Without being too overly artistic or loaded with redundant buttons, the program carries an intuitive graphical user interface that makes clear what are the commands with the highest priority for the user.

Besides the big and quite beautifully designed controls, the user can create new cases in which they can import new music from their own sound bank. The cases are the playlist equivalent of your average music player. Next to the control panel, users can change the song pitch and the overall volume.

This way, the tool’s GUI is easy to understand and has a nice dark gray color with simple neon blue colored buttons added for effect.

Aria Karaoke Pro supports standard audio formats like MP3+G, Zipped+G and WAV+G files, and works with any standard karaoke file naming convention. But besides that, the program comes with a pretty big list of settings and customization options concerning file playback.

In the 'Configuration' options screen users can set the main sound channels, the background music, the player options, and the tempo/key setup. Users can set the background music automation to automatically fade, and if CDG graphics are shown when the songs are paused to add some extra effect.

Thanks to the Karaoke Locker feature, the player will automatically download sample music for your player. Text size can be easily changed from the 'Settings' drop-down menu, and the video option just keeps the same aspect ratio.

In case you worry about how much processing power Aria Karaoke Pro uses, a small CPU indicative in the lower part of the main home screen shows the processor load.

Aria Karaoke Pro is an excellent karaoke program that comes packed with lots of options and customizations. It's rather easy to use and is not encumbered by a large amount of useless buttons spread in the GUI just for effect. Both karaoke enthusiasts and newcomers will find this application quite intuitive and perfect to carry around in karaoke marathons with friends.
