With this software, you can change your how your voice sounds in a Skype conversation. For the silly voice effects, Mark recommends the pitch shifting setting called “SuperPitch” which lets you shift the pitch of your voice either up or down five semitones. Other effects like FlangeBaby or Chorus can be used for more subtle changes.

Once installed, changing your voice can be done on the fly by clicking on the plus button that appears at the top of your Skype window. Once you’ve done that, a pop-up appears where you can select from the available effects. The “delay” effect is especially annoying as you can see here in this video demo. The app comes with several effect built in, but you can also add your own.

For details on how Mark used Skype’s audio APIs to code the app, check out this blog post.  To download either the source code or application or both, just visit Codeplex.

Although Songsmith was designed to allow non-musicians a way to create music of their own, some other people are apparently discovering some pretty silly uses for it instead. The hilarious mashup on MeFi Music features the vocal track from David Lee Roth’s “Runnin’ with the Devil” overlaid on top of, well let’s be honest, pretty poorly composed synth music. With Roth’s screeching and yeeaaaahhh’s, the end result is quite frankly the most ridiculous thing we’ve seen in a long time. Just try not to laugh when you hear it. ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/coolstuff/Hilarious-Songsmith-Mashup On MetaFilter’s Music page, someone posted a link to an MP3 created using Microsoft Research’s Songsmith– a new tool which lets anyone write and record music.

Well, you have no idea how crazy they can be. A new toy called the Resolution Randomizer can help you create some really off-the-wall resolutions with just a click of the mouse. This Silverlight application spins around bits and pieces of mismatched resolutions like some Vegas slot machine matching up promises (“will abstain from,” “will learn more about”, etc.) with activities (“getting in shape,” “stealing ideas”, etc.) and then locations (“at home,” “at work,” etc.). To get your resolution, just click the “Randomize” button for a truly random resolution. Here’s mine: “Quit rolling my eyes all day long.” (Do I do that?)

After you finish having fun, you can choose to share it with a friend through the provided link.

Get your own crazy resolutions here: http://resolutionrandomizer.pop.us/ecard.aspx.

(Thanks Brad for the tip!)
