How to record and play your voice with Lyrics4You?

With Lyrics4 You you can record your voice on a karaoke song. Of course you shoud have a microphone with 3.5mm jack connector which you plug into your soundcard panel.

Also fit volume of the sound sent to your speakers with the output level OUT bar. Now you are ready to record your voice.
