Techniques are disclosed relating to determining composition rules, based on existing music content, to automatically generate new music content. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a set of music content and generates a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of multiple loops in the set of music content. In some embodiments, the system generates new music content by selecting loops from a set of loops and combining selected ones of the loops such that multiple ones of the loops overlap in time. In some embodiments, the selecting and combining loops is performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of loops in the set of loops.

A system and method of creating a personalized sounds and visuals environment to address a person's individual environment and state by receiving output from a plurality of sensors, the sensors detecting the activity of the user and the environment in which the user is active. Sounds and/or visuals to be transmitted to the user for listening and watching on the user's device are determined based on one or more of the sensor outputs, a user profile, a user mode, a user state, and a user context. The determined sounds and/or visuals are transmitted and presented to the user, and the determined sounds and/or visuals are automatically and dynamically modified in real time based on changes in the output from one or more of the plurality of sensors and/or changes in the user's profile.

Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer program product embodiments for performing the continuous tuning of received audio input from an earpiece or microphone especially customized for karaoke singing, wherein the audio input may be mixed with user-selected song input, and the joint mixed input is independently altered in the frequency domain for output to an earpiece worn by a user as well as separately for an additional audio output to an external connected speaker, for an optimal karaoke experience.
