    I'm downloading it, I think I'm going to do a comparison between how I've written for my theater work, and the way it interprets them.

    They mention training it, so apparently weak AI is involved. They said it was trained with 300 songs, so better results may be achieved just by using a larger training set (which may be processor intensive and/or require human anotation of the training data).

    Yeah my brother's getting and trying this (a better singer than I), but I'm tempted to have a go too. Results will be posted if they actually occur.

    It was at zero. I did turn the jazzy slide all the way to 11 though.

    Download finished. Needs .NET 3.0, which I do not have. Now THAT is taking ages.

    At this rate I'll never get Tom Sellek's mustache!

    Edit: But here's a link to the demo installer so you can get it faster than 13KB/s

    This is the absolute worst.


    That said, I'll be purchasing Songsmith. As the video clearly depicted shortly before the 2 minute mark (we'll say the 1:45 time frame), Songsmith is in fact a pussy magnet.

    This is hilariously terrible if you sing anything with an extended chord structure.

    I tried even singing Floyd Collins into it. It was not happy. Once its picked its key it stays there come hell or high water.


    Next I'm going to try recording a guitar solo and see how if handles it.

    Okay, so I have just the vocal track from Painkiller thanks to Frets on Fire and Rock Band 2 songs ripped into it. I'm totally wanna see how metal songsmith can get.

    I find watching the chords changing when you adjust the jazzy and happy sliders hilarious.


    Oh it's not happy? Relative minor, bitches.


    Jazzy? 7 after everything

    Oh man this is glorious! What would happen though if I just spoke into this thing? Would that send it off the deep end? Like.. choose a jazz beat like you'd hear at a crazy poetry jam. Would I sound like a cool beatnik? I bet it wouldn't do much.. but it's worth a shot.

    Oh man.. HIT SINGLE!
