The export screen
Pick where it's going, see the karaoke screen before you render, then export a standard .mp3 + .cdg package every machine reads.
Drop a whole library straight onto the drive your karaoke machine reads, or into any folder.
Export the clean instrumental, or keep a quiet guide vocal for the songs nobody knows yet.
Style the on-screen lyrics and watch the karaoke preview update before you commit.
The exact format CDG players, DJ rigs, and in-car karaoke systems already understand.
The problem
Most karaoke machines and CDG players still depend on MP3+G/CDG files. That usually means buying fixed-catalog tracks one at a time, hunting for compatible files, or dealing with old libraries that never have the songs people actually want to sing.
Beltr gives your existing karaoke setup a modern upgrade.
How it works
No catalog hunting. No web uploads. Just your music, your machine, and a clean MP3+G package.
Import MP3, FLAC, WAV, or your existing karaoke files. Beltr handles the messy edges of legacy CDG libraries automatically.
Beltr uses local AI vocal separation (Demucs v4) to create a karaoke-ready mix on your computer — no cloud upload.
Build a clean karaoke display with readable, timing-aware lyrics. Tweak by hand if a line needs a nudge.
Save a compatible MP3+G package — standard .mp3 + .cdg — for supported karaoke machines and CDG players.
Compatibility
Bridge modern AI vocal separation with the karaoke gear you already trust.
Create MP3+G files for compatible home karaoke systems.
Keep legacy CDG workflows alive with modern AI processing.
Build custom karaoke tracks for private events and party libraries.
Export files for systems that support MP3+G / CDG playback.
Bring your old MP3+G karaoke files into a modern desktop app and play them next to new AI tracks.
Drop exported MP3+G onto a USB stick or burn it for hardware that expects disc-style karaoke files.
Export a clean instrumental, or a guide-vocal mix with the vocal on one channel and music on the other — for machines with a vocal-cancel switch.
Write the USB stick the way your player browses: flat, a folder per song, or sorted by artist.
Compatibility depends on your player's supported file formats. Beltr exports MP3+G for systems that support MP3+G/CDG playback.
More than export
Export MP3+G for your hardware, or just sing straight from Beltr: cinematic lyrics on the TV, live pitch scoring, and a practice room for the songs you're still learning.
Word-by-word lyrics under a spotlight, your music video playing behind them.
A pitch bar shows the note to hit, and the score climbs line by line.
Slow any song down, loop the hard part, and drill it solo until it's yours.
Beltr films your performance as you sing and drops a vertical clip on your phone, ready to post or text. Made on your machine, shared only when you tap.
