 "Great. Works on Vista 64" | 2008-08-31 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1JW0V6WAUJJ23 |
| Bought this in August 2008 and I'm very happy with it. I mostly use the song editor to create vocal exercises which I use to train with everyday. I've never taken singing lessons (and can't afford them at the moment), so this is a great way to train my voice and ears. The sing-along pitch tracking system had me singing on key in no time, at least while I'm watching the screen. I have not had any problems running this program on Windows Vista 64-bit. The lessons are good for learning how the program works, though they are obviously geared toward kids. It's fun to mess around on this with friends as well. For $20 (and I noticed the price is dropping further), this program is WELL worth it. |

| Just wanted to say that the full price I think was $99 on the "official web-site links". Don't pay that! The files are midi which is strange to the common person. I has some cool features and some cheesey features. I would recommend trying it out before buying it if possible. I am not disappointed overall for the price I paid which was about $30 and it came with the microphone. |

I'm an experienced amateur singer. I've taken voice lessons, but I just wasn't satisfied with my ability to sing in tune. This program has already helped me, and I've just begun to explore it. It provides instant feedback, letting you know if you're on the correct pitch. My only complaint is that it does not allow you to edit imported songs in Compose mode, and it does not import perfectly - a few notes did not import at the correct duration, and it doesn't seem to import triplets. But it does so many other things so well, these are minor quibbles.
Yes, it uses cartoon characters, but I enjoyed them. If you've got a microphone stand up your rear end and can't imagine singing being fun, maybe this program is not for you. |

This is a fun singing coach and it has features that really helps. I really like that it can graph your voice and how high or low your voice is. It tracks the notes you are hitting while you sing into a computer microphone.
I'd recommend you read a good book on how to sing along with using this program:
Singing for Dummies
This program touches on info like how to exercise your voice, how singing works etc. but if you'd like lots more detail or another perspective this Singing for Dummies Book is a good one. |

[ASIN:B0006SE5BQ Singing Coach Unlimited]
I purchased Singing Coach Unlimited on March 08. In the meantime my computer crashed and the only program available was Windows Vista, which was already on all the new computers. I was told that Windows Vista, which is the program on my new computer, would be compatible with Windows 98 programs. (Not so) I contacted a technician for Singing Coach Unlimited. He said the reason the program would not load is because it is not compatible with Windows Vista but that there was no problem. They would send me a disc immediatly at no extra cost. I waited until Mid May. It never came. I e-mailed. No reply. I phoned and left messages. My calls were not returned. Finally I got someone on the phone and they said they would send the disc at once. I am still waiting a month later. I have e-mailed more. No answer. No reply to my calls. It is now too late to return the product to Amazon.com and it appears I have no way of getting this disc from the manufacturer. I am deeply disappointed and wish there were some way of getting that disc. I bought this for my musical, but special needs child as part of her therapy.
This is a word of warning to anyone whoever requires service from this company. It is simply not there |

 "Where's the 9/8 time signature?" | 2008-03-28 |
| - Reviewed By jj2man |
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.

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.) |

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 |
