Examples of an aiding device for singers are described. The aiding device comprises a body that has a periphery edge, a top wall and a smooth inner wall. The top wall curves away from the periphery edge thus forming a cup-like cavity which is shaped to define a first chamber and a second chamber that are interconnected together. The first chamber is shaped and sized to fit over an earlobe of a singer while the second chamber has a distal end that is designed and configured to be positioned in proximity to a user's mouth. When in use the first chamber encloses one of user's ears and the distal end of the second chamber is positioned in proximity to user's mouth with the periphery edge pressed against user's face such that a sound produced by the user is captured and travels into the second and first chamber and is reflected back from the smooth inner wall producing echo within the cavity. Thus, the unfiltered sound coming out from the singer's mouth is provided to one of the singer's ear in real time and hear the original sound or key in the other ear so that the singer can match his/her pitch to the original sound.

A musical sound processing apparatus, a musical sound processing method, and a storage medium capable of generating musical sound full of interest are provided. The musical sound processing apparatus includes a first control unit configured to control a timing of sounding of a first tone in steps that come with an interval therebetween and a second control unit configured to control a timing of sounding of a second tone following or overlapping the first tone according to a first tempo, wherein the first control unit is configured to control the timing of sounding of the first tone according to the first tempo when timing information has not been acquired from outside and control the timing of sounding of the first tone according to a second tempo which is based on the timing information and different from the first tempo when the timing information has been acquired.

A method for adjusting accompaniment music is disclosed. The method transposes the musical key of at least one section of the accompaniment music such that a song will have different musical key transpositions for different sections of the accompaniment music, so that singers whose vocal ranges are narrow can sing songs after the adjustment.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for matching performance with score. The method may include acquiring performance information in a preset time period, wherein the performance information is related to a musical device. The method may also include analyzing the performance information and obtaining a played music score in the preset time period, wherein the played music score contains the performance information. The method may further include comparing the played music score with one or more standard music scores. The method may still further include identifying a standard music score from the one or more standard music score based on the comparison of the played music score with the one or more standard music scores, wherein a matching degree between the played music score and the identified standard music score reaches a preset value.

Music compilation methods disclosed herein include providing a database. Data is stored therein associating a user with access credentials for a plurality of music streaming services. A first server is communicatively coupled with the database and with multiple third party servers each of which includes a music library associated with the user. A list is stored in the database listing audio tracks of the libraries. A play selector is displayed on a user interface of a computing device communicatively coupled with the first server. User selection of the play selector initiates playback of a sample set, the sample set including portions of audio tracks in the list. The sample set is determined based on contextual information gathered by the computing device, the contextual information not including any user selection. Music compilation systems disclosed herein include systems configured to carry out the music compilation methods.

Examples described herein may perform various operations based on mood congruency. An example method involves accessing, by a processor, from a database, a score that represents a degree of congruency between a first mood vector that describes first media data and a second mood vector that describes second media data, wherein the score is generated based on (i) a first value that the first mood vector associates with a first mood, (ii) a second value that the second mood vector associates with a second mood, and (iii) a degree of congruency between the first and second moods, based on the score, comparing, by the processor, a first characteristic of the first media data, other than the first mood, with a second characteristic of the second media data, other than the second mood, and based at least in part on an output of the comparing, providing an indicator to a module.

A method and a system for instrument separating and reproducing for a mixture audio source is provided. The method and/or the system includes inputting selected music into an instrument separation model for extracting features therefrom, determining audio source signals of multiple channels for the separation of all instruments, each channel containing sound of one instrument, and transmitting the signals of the different channels to multiple speakers placed at designated positions for playing, which can reproduce or recreate an immersive sound field listening experience for users.

Computing devices and methods for providing a music customization graphical user interface (GUI) to a user computing device are disclosed. The music customization GUI comprises song name selectors that each correspond to a different song and a music player region that includes a song customization selector. A customization window comprises music stem indicators that each correspond to at least one music stem of a selected song. The customization window also comprises mixing buttons that include a first mixing button configured to add a corresponding music stem to a user song mix, and a second mixing button configured to remove the music stem from the user song mix. A download button is configured to download a file comprising the user song mix to a user computing device.

An electronic instrument includes a plurality of music-playing operators which designates pitch data in accordance with a music-playing operation and at least one processor which instructs a sound source which generates music sounds to emit sounds, in which the at least one processor, in a case where the music-playing operation meets a first instruction condition, instructs the sound source to emit the sound in a first sound emission form which corresponds to pitch data which meets the first instruction condition which is designated in accordance with the music-playing operation, and in a case where the music-playing operation meets a second instruction condition which is different from the first instruction condition, instructs the sound source to emit a sound which is different from the sound which is emitted in the first sound-emission form, that is, in a second sound-emission form which corresponds to pitch data which meets the second instruction condition which is designated in accordance with the music-playing operation.

Embodiments of the present technology are directed at features and functionalities of a VR/AR enabled digital audio workstation. The disclosed audio workstation can be configured to allow users to record, produce, mix, and edit audio in virtual 3D space based on detecting and manipulating human gestures in a virtual reality environment. The audio can relate to music, voice, background noise, speeches, background noise, one or more musical instruments, special effects music, electronic humming or noise from electrical/mechanical equipment, or any other type of audio.
