This is a link post SongSmith
This might be GC, but I'll take the gamble.

The video below was made using Microsoft's Songsmith: research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/songsmith/ (demo-movie included)

Basically, what it does is: sing into the microphone, choose a musical style, set a tempo and based on the tone of your voice, the program will create a backing song in seconds.

Now I do make some music myself, and find this development both intriguing as quite scary, and possibly marking the beginning of the end for creativity in music (if it hasn't already set in).

now that's just funny. Surely that thing can't make anything classy. I've got a few acapella tracks I'm going to run through it and see what it does :D

I was trying that myself. Unfortunately it does not let you import wav/mp3, you can only record.

But you can ofcourse re-rout your output to your recording input..

what a bunch of bastards. I'm not warbling down the Microsoft to that shit! I would probably get taken away.

How about ye'olde primative method of playing it out of a speaker back into a microphone?

This is a normal post just open the windows sound mixer
then go to properties, set it to 'recording' and select 'record master'

oh, and max out the voice, as microphones do tend to bash in with a lot of gain, which the program expects.

I just did it with a good 30secs of vocals which I had laying around, it's quite stunning how this program works..
