| Where's the 9/8 time signature? |
Maybe I'm musically inept. But I wrote a MIDI file in 9/8 time and when I import it using this program, it comes out sounding all wrong. It seems it's unable to compose or import anything in 9/8. Can someone help me out please?
Since there's no forum for this software, I had no choice but to post here.... Feel free to email me at JacobsJeff@gmail.com
I've only owned this program for a day, so I'm not fit to write a propper review yet. I love what I see so far, except that annoying no 9/8 thing.

| Not impressed |
I bought two of these from Circuit City - one for myself and one as a Christmas gift for my step-daughter. I installed it on my desktop, which is running Win XP Pro. After dealing with the lousy installation instructions that didn't make sense, and trying many times to get my computer to recognize that I had plugged in the microphone already, it finally recognized it and installed the program.
I got the program running, but no sound was coming out of it. I thought maybe it was a problem with my computer, so I installed it on my laptop, which is running Win XP Pro as well (maybe that was the problem). I had the same problem there - I couldn't hear the characters talking and I couldn't hear my voice or anything else for that matter.
I called the support number on the box but that turned out to be support for ONLY the microphone. The guy told me that Sony was responsible for the software and I would need to contact them. He gave me the website address carryatune.com and told me I would be able to find what I needed there. I found a phone number there and called them. After listening to their annoying automated phone system, I was transfered to their customer service department. It rang and rang and rang and finally I got this guy's answering machine. He was away from his desk. I left a message but he never called me back. (It's the next day as I'm writing this.)
After some screaming and crying, I got fed up with it, decided that it was crap, and took it back to Circuit City. Technically, you're not supposed to return software that has been opened, but I called ahead and explained the situation. I think the lady could feel my frustration. Either that or they must get a lot of complaints about this product, because she was willing to let me return it for a full refund. Thanks Circuit City! (I'm sure Amazon would have done the same. I love Amazon.) |

| Singing Coach unilimited |
I bought the "regular" edition and upgraded to the unlimited. If you don't have perfect pitch, this program helps you to know when you are on pitch. and give you exercises to help you to develop your ear and voice. Excellent for new singers. |

| Keep Original Packaging!!! |
I run WinXP Pro. this program is not compatible. And when you e mail customer support for assitance, all you will get is a automated mail telling you to. Turn off any anti-virus programs and lower your internet browser security setting to low. After 4 days, many e-mails, phone calls, and alot of waiting I can honestly say they were worthless.
People who have trouble installing should. (it just can't be me!)
1. remove the current shockwave player and go to their web site and install a fresh copy
2. Install program.
3. Wait for singing lesson section start then freeze
4. Return CD in packaging
5. Thank Amazon for having a easy return policy |

| Great,... but falls a little short |
I have tried several of the voice recognition types of software in both the phone and music industries. There are many nuances that play a part.
The Singing Coach software is one of the best I have tried for accuracy and transition tracking. The graphical representation of the voice is the best I have seen.
I did not like the classes section at all (I found it infantile). They really could have put more time into the practice area (prepared more scales and intervals).
In the products defense, they did make it fairly easy to write your own scales and songs (time consuming). |
