Abstract
In some examples, a system includes a first portable computing device that audibly renders a backing track, captures and pitch corrects a vocal performance of a first user, and transmits the first user's pitch corrected vocal performance. The system may also include a second portable computing device including a data communications interface that receives the first user's pitch corrected vocal performance, an audio transducer that audibly renders a mix of the backing track and the first user's pitch corrected vocal performance, a display for concurrent presentation of lyrics temporally synchronized with a vocal score and the backing track, a microphone interface that captures a vocal performance of a second user, and pitch correction code executable on the second portable computing device to pitch correct the second user's vocal performance in accord with the vocal score to produce a composite multi-vocal performance.
