SOCIAL MUSIC SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH CONTINUOUS, REAL-TIME PITCH CORRECTION OF VOCAL PERFORMANCE AND DRY VOCAL CAPTURE FOR SUBSEQUENT RE-RENDERING BASED ON SELECTIVELY APPLICABLE VOCAL EFFECT(S) SCHEDULE(S)

摘要

Despite the many implementation limitations imposed by mobile device platforms and application execution environments, vocal music performances can be captured and, in some cases or embodiments, accompaniment in a way that creates powerful user experiences. And may be pitch-corrected and/or processed according to a user selectable vocal effect schedule for mixing and rendering. In some cases, individual users'' vocal performances are captured on mobile devices in a situation where the lyrics are displayed in a karaoke-style in response to an audible rendering of the accompaniment. These performances can be pitch-corrected in real time on the mobile device according to the pitch correction settings. Vocal effect schedules can also be selectively applied to these performances. In this way, even amateur users/players with incomplete pitches are challenged to "stardom" and/or participate in gameplay, social networks or vocal achievement application architectures that facilitate musical collaborations on a global scale, and /Or, in some cases or embodiments, get the courage to initiate a transaction in the application that generates revenue.
