Songsmith is an application that can help you to create your own song by just only singing. You will only needed to open the Songsmith, choose music style and press Record button, then sing any song you like. After that, pressing the Stop button will not only stop the recording, but it will automatically generate musical accompaniment to match your voice. Not just that, your song and musical accompaniment can be saved as audio format and can be played back for someone beloved such as your mother or you can save it to your MP3 player. :)
