Are you nervous and lost when put under the pressure of being extra romantic on February 14th? Well, not any longer! Some people may not know this but Microsoft is a super romantic love machine of a company! Microsoft has services and products that will make SURE your sweetie feels nothing but love from you this Valentine's Day. (pssst- it's SATURDAY so get going!) Get ready to take some notes from the "Microsoft Guide to Valentine's Day." 173 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/The-Microsoft-Guide-to-Valentines-Day Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:48:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/The-Microsoft-Guide-to-Valentines-Day Laura Foy Laura Foy 21 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/The-Microsoft-Guide-to-Valentines-Day/RSS Microsoft PhotoSynth Valentine Virtual Earth Lips Songsmith Valentine's Day re:snooze communicator romance What the Recession Sounds Like with Songsmith We’ve already seen Microsoft Research’s Songsmith tool being used to create some rather hilarious mashups of music – in fact, those sorts of crazy mixed-up tracks have become their own genre on YouTube it seems (Loving the metal Rick Astley, by the way!).

But now, a German composer by the name of Johannes Kreidler has figured out a way to do something completely different with the Songsmith software. He has derived music from stock-price charts belonging to “Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, GM and other major global companies and market indexes, as well as unemployment rates and other indicators,” reports the Seattle Times.

Kreidler first created the melodies for the charts by hand by drawing points on the graphs and then interpreting them as pitches to write the melodies. The creation is a work of art/political statement called “Charts Music”…and it just goes to show you that Songsmith can certainly be used for something beyond just silly mashups.

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.

All you need is a PC, a microphone (the built in mic on your laptop will work), a melody and some lyrics. Songsmith will record what you sing into the microphone, analyze what you've sung and then assign the rhythm section and chords. You can adjust the style (genre) and tone until you find something you like and then output the track as a WMA file, movie maker project or backing track.
Check out the video for a full demo from the guys behind the software plus the worldwide debut of MY latest hit single "Room with Max".
