1) Anyone know the relevance of the photo (rhs) http://www.theorb.com "The Feedwell Cafe" 126 Battersea Park Road London SW11 4LY - betcha Alex lives above it (you can just see him in the window). Someone nip down there, ring a few doorbells & say 'ello! B) Has anyone tried either of these two programs: Melodyne: "Pitch correction software for sh*ty singers". This plots the notes you sang and with a click of the mouse corrects the pitch to what it should be. You can even drag it down a few notes to create a harmony. Try the demo at: http://www.celemony.com/melodyne/demos.html Or if your singing is still really bad, try: Volaloid: "Singer in a box" Combinations of 2,500 phonemes from professional vocalists. You import midi or type in notes, type in the lyrics, while using commands to control expression. Then one of three generic English or Japanese speaking singers sings it back. Try demo at: http://www.zero-g.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=802 I'm finding that the learning curve is steep on both of these.
