SingMirror vs Vibrato Practice

“Sing Mirror” is a karaoke practice app that lets you visually check the pitch of your singing while you practice. ▼ Import Songs in 3 Ways ・Select an audio file from the Files app ・Choose a song from your iPhone music library ・Record a song using your iPhone microphone Even if you do not have an audio file, you can record music played from speakers or another device using your iPhone microphone and use it for practice. ▼ Analyze Vocals and Pitch with an Inference Model Using an on-device inference model, Uta Mirror separates vocals and accompaniment from imported songs and analyzes the vocal pitch. The analyzed pitch is displayed as blue pitch bars and an orange pitch line. ▼ View Your Own Pitch in Real Time When you sing along with the song, your pitch detected from the microphone is displayed as a red line. Because the original vocal pitch and your own singing pitch are shown on the same graph, you can visually check where your pitch shifts and how your voice moves. ▼ Adjust Volume for Your Practice Style You can individually adjust the volume of the original song, vocals, and accompaniment. For example, you can start by practicing together with the original vocals, then gradually lower the vocal volume as you become more comfortable. ▼ Change the Key You can change the key of each song in semitone steps. Songs that are too high or too low can be adjusted to better match your vocal range. ▼ Record and Review Your Singing You can record your singing during practice and play it back together with the song. Your pitch during recording is also saved, so you can review both your voice and pitch movement later. By comparing the original vocals with your own singing, you can repeatedly practice difficult phrases and pitch changes at your own pace. ※ Model data must be downloaded the first time the inference model is used. ※ Analysis time may vary depending on the length of the song and the performance of your device. ※ The sound quality of recorded songs may vary depending on the playback environment, surrounding noise, and distance from the microphone. ※ Some audio sources, such as DRM-protected songs, may not be available for import.

A straight, motionless tone is a kind of death. Add vibrato and you breathe life into the note. Vibrato Practice teaches vibrato as something you can actually study — not something you wait to arrive with maturity. Hear a tunable model wave at a steady 5 waves per beat, then match it: shape, depth, and speed. Not a metronome. Not a tuner. Not a drone. A model vibrato wave you match — 5 waves per beat, across 69 instruments. WHY FIVE Five waves per beat is the goal from the very beginning. It is difficult, and that is the point. At the default 45 BPM five waves a beat is 3.75 waves a second; the tempo slider moves that wherever the music and your teacher want it. The slower settings (2, 3, 4) build control on the way there. Don't let anything but 5 become your habit. THE EXERCISE A base note alternates with a chromatic scale — base, note, base, note — climbing to the top of your range, then dropping below. Taught to Prof. Thomas Hornig by Alain Bouhey at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, who insisted on the four low notes: on saxophone, F, E, E-flat, D. Start the note straight, then add the vibrato, the way a singer does. Those four low notes are not hard-coded saxophone pitches. Every instrument carries its own low-register anchor group inside its own real range, so the method transposes — not just the pitch. 69 INSTRUMENTS, 13 FAMILIES Violin, viola, cello, double bass. Voice. Saxophones, flutes and recorders, clarinets, oboe and bassoon, sixteen brass, guitars and basses, mallets, percussion, harp, keyboard — and the oud (Arabic and Turkish), buzuq, qanun, nay and mizmar. Each with correct written-pitch transposition, and the concert pitch shown underneath. WHAT'S IN IT - Tempo 20-120 BPM, depth 1-10, and 2/3/4/5/6 waves per beat - Four style presets: Standard (modern), Moderate, Warm & singing, Lush & wide - Four tone colours: Soft, Warm, Reed, Mellow, each with its own volume - Two wave shapes: Smooth is the goal; Even adds an angular dip, there so you can hear the difference - Two modes: run the full exercise, or hold one note and just match the wave - An optional click, four sounds, its own volume, switchable off - A practice log counting reps and minutes, exportable as CSV to send your teacher Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no advertising, no account, and nothing collected. No connection needed to practise. The Recommended Gear page loads product photos from the retailers and links out to them, so that page needs a connection. Those Amazon links are affiliate links, and Thomas Hornig earns from qualifying purchases. The note sets for saxophone and flute are research-grounded. The other instruments carry correct transposition and range, but their practice-note sets are provisional starting points. Refer to your teacher.
