Great idea to make your own music. Just because you can't play instruments does not mean you can't make great music.

it kinda hurts being called a musical amateur after playing the trombone for over 5 years... it is true though while I´m not a beginner at trombone playing anymore I still feel like a beginner with music in general respectively composing music...

The guy at the end... My parents in a nutshell during my teen years.
LOL

if this works it will be a brilliant idea 3 in the morning I hear music playing not outside of my house but inside my head I wake up from this dream I have to catch the melody before for it disappear like my dream I try to keep myself from Forgetting the song but a lot of time I'm not able to catch every part of the song in my head but it is times like this that it is like I wish I could hum the song

[MrHuntervad]

I really would want to see an app changes an existing song with vocals into fully instrument even the voice part, like vocals -> violin, but who know what AI you need for that, maybe not even long now.

What happened to the similar analogue instrument that came out about 20-30 years ago? I've been searching for it for years! This looks good, too. :)

[Nellynoodlebums]

Everyone's a musician, great....

[MusiciansEvolution]

Can you sing a melody into it and have it come out as a guitar solo? Or any instrument within reason of course? If yes, I want in. If no, can anyone help me out?? Thanks

[tonytano]

Don’t click on the link, I’ll take you somewhere else.

Ideal to make a quick studio class demo but will not replace proper music making.

[tubelover]

Very good, but, for me, HUMAN voice is the best.

[Issintv]

what is the name of this tool please ?

[creativereindeer]

Mm if this does capture melodies in a new way I would be interested to know how this could be used by musicians on tour in their bus for example!?

[royalaurastudios]

I would like to try this because I have many song I wrote that I would like to test this on.
But you have to have an activation code to unlock it so you can not test it.
Which is to Bad because I could but this program through a good test.
For now it is a shell of a hollow program that I can not use unless I can open it up and use it.

[snipercat]

Why don't... Just try to learn? I mean this is good and all but I think instead of doing this you should just put your time into learning the instrument.

[vijay]

Couldn't BBC afford better singers to realy value the possibility of this app instead of these 4 screamers.

[FarmboyAB]

I haven't heard anything interesting only people screaming... I do not believe it can ever work... it could be nothing more than a toy (nothing against that, but learning to play real instruments CAN be funny as well). BTW digital instruments can not imitate timbre of real ones... because timbre changes in a lot of ways depending on how the instrument is played and it is not possible to matematically capture all these nuances. The human voice is an instrument as well, but even more complicated. Let the voice be the voice and the instrument be the instrument. We can't do better. We can't digitally imitate a good fiddle, trumpet or harmonica player. A good singer is even more difficult. We do not know enough of how human voice is produced and we would probably never know, because it is a very complicated physical system.

[sarahzeine]

I was making fun of the masterbating part then i sneezed and it happened! lol

[sasanvideoprod.]

Scary.. why everyone is screaming????
Music is not about anger and screams.
I'm sorry that some people forced themselves to art as an artist!!??

[SharpDesign]

I have it. but how can I use it with Adobe Audition or what should I use?
