    The chav's are mightily impressed that I'm using the same vocal pitch correction software as the X-Factor mob - thanks to the BBC article

    Pitch correction does have its limitations though

    PS It costs extra for me to create the backing track and that's good biz too

    Damn, thought I was editing the original

    Seems like a good idea. Especially like the vanity idea for Karoke singers.

    What would posters songs be?

    Zippy - Do wa diddy?
    Suityou - I will survive?
    Shaunbhoy - Shaddupa ya face?

    started a topic Sheer Torture

    Sheer Torture

    Plan C - portable recording kit, charge karaoke singers a fortune for vanity recordings, live gigs for bands etc.

    Local church choir asked me to produce a CD for the church's 100th anniversary. So, six three hour sessions later with a bunch of people who can't sing (two wear hearing aids which as far as I can see are switched off), tantrums from the choir master and a couple of flouncers I'm now mixing down the best of the tracks - six more to go.

    Several other local churches with choirs now want to do the same and won't be put off by the silly prices I'm quoting. Losing the will to live...

Working...
