CopyScat

CopyScat is a vocal practice method that allows you to practice along with pre-recorded songs and instantly hear your results. It allows you to listen to an audio track, remove the vocals, record yourself singing, and easily loop sections of the song to compare your singing with the original recording. This is a great tool to easily record yourself, get instant feedback and improve your performance.

Use CopyScat to practice along with pre-recorded songs. CopyScat is most typically used for vocal practice, though you may also find it useful for instrumental practice.

This practice method makes it easy to identify problems and refine your performance. Listen to yourself solo, mix your performance with the "Guide Vocal" of the original track, or listen with Vocal Redux on the Guide Track.

With CopyScat you can easily set loops to repeatedly drill on a verse, chorus, or phrase. Press the record button while looping, and sing (or play) along. When the loop has finished recording, CopyScat will loop and continue playback, so you can immediately hear your results.

Record repeated vocal takes to polish your performance, then mix it to a new Wave file and send it to friends.

CopyScat uses uncompressed stereo 16 bit Wave files which it can grab from either Audio or Karaoke CDs, importing to them to the hard drive in Wave format.
