Abstract

Music is something everyone can enjoy. Shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars show us that most everyone, namely more than those who enjoy voting, does enjoy it. Not everyone can make music, and only a special few can make it well. The musically impaired have an ally, though, and it is technology. There are many synthetic ways one may become the dream superstar, especially if they are willing to pay enough. The majority of music generation, processing, and correction software is highly proprietary to their respective owners and carries a high price. Thus, it is difficult in an individual or academic setting to learn about these topics. It is for these reasons the research described below has partnered with the SongLib project to bring a suite of musical processing software to the open source community. Specifically, it aims to develop and implement an algorithm to manipulate the pitch of a recorded human voice to some desired value.
