7-12-2022
Translation: machine translated
Apple is calling for sing-alongs: Music Sing is a new karaoke function for Apple's streaming service. It lets you perform songs with background vocals or even as a duet.
The existing lyrics function in Apple Music will soon be greatly expanded. Apple Music Sing now offers various karaoke functions - so you will soon be able to sing along to millions of songs. According to Apple, the songs are customisable in several ways and the lyrics are displayed in real time.
This is what Apple Music Sing
can do.
The upcoming karaoke update includes four main new features. Vocals can be customised. You can sing along with the artist's original voice, take over the main voice, or mix the song with another track from Apple Music.

The lyrics are displayed and animated in real time so you know when to sing. There are also background vocals: the simultaneous singing of the track is displayed independently of the main singing to make it easier to sing along.

Probably the most exciting innovation: the duet view. This displays several singers next to each other on the screen. This way you can perform duets or songs with several singers in pairs.
For this purpose, Apple has added a new feature.
In addition, Apple has announced 50 playlists with songs suitable for karaoke, and the karaoke function is to be available for one million songs.
Coming for the holidays
Apple Music Sing is scheduled for release in December - that is, in the next few days. This means that singing-loving Apple users are probably in for a musical festive season.
You can use the Sing function with the Apple Music subscription and on an iPhone 11 and newer versions, on the iPad Pro 11 from the 3rd generation, on the iPad Air from the 4th generation, iPad mini from the 6th generation and iPad from the 9th generation. Also on the Apple TV 4K from the 3rd generation.
Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
