Find Your Tune with Songsmith
Have you ever wanted to record a song, but you can’t write any music? The research team at Microsoft has a new program that will allow you to sing any song into your computer and the program will determine what music will sound good behind your voice. It’s a pretty incredible program and some creative people have also found out some more humorous ways to use the program.
Microsoft Songsmith in its own words “generates musical accompaniment to match a singer’s voice.” They designed it for the person that doesn’t know how to write music but still wants to record some songs they may have written. It is free to try and $29 to use forever. It’s a very simple process that goes something like this:
- Pick a style
- Choose a tempo
- Sing Your Song
- Modify Advanced Options (Optional)
- Listen to your Masterpiece
Now, some people have found other uses for this software. They’ve taken popular songs and have run them through Songsmith with some very funny results. Here are some of my favorites:
