NATURAL EAR

摘要

Methods and systems for assisting tonally-challenged singers. A microphone can be integrated with a sound reinforcement system used in a live performance. The microphone, which can transduce the performers voice, can serve multiple purposes such as, for example, to feed input to the natural ear and to the sound reinforcement system. The processed sound of the performers voice (with fundamental frequencies emphasized) can be mixed into the signal fed to a stage “monitor” speaker facing the performer or a headset worn by the performer.

主权项

1. A system for assisting tonally-challenged singers, said system comprising:
a sound transducing device that transduces a voice of a singer; and a filter and amplifier circuit that receives a signal produced by said voice of said performer from said sound transducing device and filters and amplifies said signal so that fundamental frequencies of said voice of said singer are accentuated, thereby allowing said singer to self-monitor said voice and augment an ability of said singer to sing intended notes and harmonize with others and potentially reduce or eliminate a need for auto-tuning.
