Introduction

Purpose

A lot of people love to sing. Also, they want to demonstrate their singing to other people. In the Internet they can find web sites for people, who love to sing. There they can upload their songs to the web server and any web site visitor can download them to listen. To record the songs, they have to use some special audio recording software which is not a part of web site. A lot of people, who love to sing, do not know where they can find audio recording software, which software suitable to record the songs, which software is better etc.

Next problem is musical accompaniment. Sometimes people can not find music for favorite song and, of course, can not record this song.

Therefore, a lot of people can not use these web sites to demonstrate own songs.

We designed special applet which can be easy integrated to web site and allows to record singing voice with musical accompaniment directly on the web site! Also, if you have audio CD with your favorite song, applet can remove voice from the song and you can use this music as accompaniment. So, the problem how to get music accompaniment, can be easy solved also directly on the web site. After song recording on the web site, it can be easy uploaded to web server and in a few seconds song will be available to listening for any web site visitor.

 

How it works

Applet allows to record singing voice with musical accompaniment. Music accompaniment can be used in mp3, MIDI , WAV formats. Music files can be opened by applet from local computer or from the web server. After music file opening, applet creates musical track. Then, during singing voice recording, applet playback the music track and records voice track. These 2 tracks can be played back, amplified and mixed. If user like recorded song, he can save it on the web server or client computer in the mp3 format.

Also, applet can read tracks from the audio CD and remove voice from the songs. Then, this music can be used as accompaniment.

Note! Voice can be removed from the songs in case if it is recorded in stereo mode without special audio effects applied to the singing voice. Therefore, sometimes voice removing works not so good or does not work.
