picking the right tool

Cover, karaoke, or a brand new song?

Three different things people describe with the same words. Which one you want decides which tool to open and what it costs.

Short answer

A cover changes who is singing. Karaoke takes the singing away so you can do it yourself. An original song writes something that did not exist before. Most people asking for one of these actually want a different one.

  1. You want a cover

    When you like a song and want to hear it in your voice without singing it yourself.

  2. You want karaoke

    When you want to sing it yourself and need the original voice out of the way.

  3. You want an original

    When the song you are imagining does not exist yet, and the words and tune both need writing.

Questions people actually ask

Can I do more than one on the same song?
Yes. A single source track can produce a karaoke version, a cover, and a lyric video — each is a separate job with its own cost.
Which is cheapest?
Karaoke and lyric videos are fixed, small costs. Covers depend on training once first. Original songs are priced by quality level.
Which needs the most permission?
Covers, because two permissions are in play — the voice and the song. Original songs need the least, since nothing is borrowed.

Hear a song in your own voice

Train your voice once, then cover anything you have the right to use. Pay per song, and the credits do not expire.
