Calls itself a reverse karaoke app. Lets you record your own vocal, processes this to match to a backup track and create a full-blown recording. This can be shared on a LaDiDa site or uploaded to facebook or twitter.

Pluses - I was able to create an original song, with my vocals on original lyrics, with an decent instrumental backup. -Has an adjustable metronome for the rythmically challenged, like myself. -Can do video with audio. -Choice of backups, -Autocorrect for vocal pitch. -Has adjustments for music to vocal balance, and several other useful effects. Minuses: No country, bluegrass, blues etc - only 10 choices of backup. -Took some practice to keep in time with the backup when recording, -auto pitch correct tended to create warble effect so I shut it off, -Not sure how universal the file format is once you have your recording to share.

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars for a $3 app. Let me make original music with a minimum of musical knowledge (and perhaps talent). A good tool to try with students who will sing but not speak or for whom rythm and music will improve communication. SLPs, give it a try and let me know. I did this on my iphone and I'm not sure if it is also supported on the ipad.
