My Voice - Software

My Voice - Software

"MyVoice lets you replace the original singer from your favourite audio CD's. Now, you can become the star! You hide the vocals of your audio CD's in REAL TIME (this new technology is accurate for 80% of the audio CD's of the market today."

What we liked: I was excited about reviewing this piece of software as it sounded too good to be true. It was quick and easy to install (please check for system requirements before purchase). It took me a little while to get to grips with the software and I had to change some settings on my PC to recognise the microphone. Once I had fathomed that, I found it easy enough to take the main vocals off and sing over. I found that the voice only completely disappeared in about two thirds of the CDs tested. It is also great that you can save the new track and then burn it to CD should you wish.

I loved the display and how it looks like something you would see on a recording studios computer. It's also fun using the different controls to distort the voice or your voice, you can speed it up or slow it down too.

What we weren't so keen on: It is quite a serious piece of software that would probably only be suitable for teenagers and above due to a more technical GUI. The fact that some CDs didn't completely lose the voice can be confusing and makes you feel that the software isn't working properly or that you haven't done something correctly. It also isn't as party friendly as you might hope and is more suited to being used as an educational aid.

National Geographic Digital Photo Guide

National Geographic Digital Photo Guide - Software

"Digital Photo Guide is the perfect tool for photographers of all levels of experience who wish to fully exploit the boundless possibilities now available through digital photography. "

What we liked: The fact that something like this exists to inform and help people learn about digital cameras and there ever increasing capabilites. Affordable at just £19.99. You don't need to install anything on your computer, you simply 'plug and play'.
What we weren't so keen on: Americanisms used throughout so could confuse children with the different spelling. If you're already a competent user of a digital camera it wouldn't be too much use as a lot of the basics are covered.
