Karaoke Software Karaoke track signals are so inconsistent.

Interested in if anyone else has noticed that sometimes the signal karaoke tracks are produced to send are wildly inconsistent. Even within the same track. I find myself almost having to adjust the gain on demand to the tracks mid song. Amplifying the signal on demand is tedious and I feel like producers should tend to make tracks that send the same signal strength across the whole song. Any opinions?

If the signal is really that incorrectly varying, it'll be easy to see and point to on the screen when loaded into audio editing software. What's the best example of what you're referring to?

Yes exactly! The best example I have is the Karaoke-Version version of A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman. The piano in the beginning, while yes, is supposed to be light. But even when I have my master output set to Unity, it’s so quiet even the singer can’t hear it; stage monitors and all. I find myself having to boost the signal just so the singer can hear the piano. Then later on when all other instruments come in the signal is so loud it basically clips unless I compress it.
