Description

LeetSounds is a vocal analysis application with many pedagogical uses for singers. While it is by no means a replacement for normal practicing and lessons, it can be used as a tool to enhance certain aspects of the singer's voice. For example, by viewing the spectrogram, the singer can see how the strengths of his or her formants change, and if any dipthongization is occuring. The spectrogram also shows vibrato rates in a quantifiable manner. The waveform can show how legato a section is, as well as the dynamic changes that occur.

Requirements

Because LeetSounds is written entirely in Java, it can be run on almost any computer with enough memory, fast enough processor, and sufficient sound equipment. The specific requirements are:
  • Java Runtime Environment 1.5 or greater, which can be downloaded here
  • At least 128 MB of memory (with at least 70 MB free), although 512 MB is preferred.
  • At least 50 MB of free disk space. As a general rule, you should have about 1 MB of disk space free for each second of audio data you wish to record or buffer.
  • A fast processor. Actual minimum speed is not known at this time.

If you plan on compiling the sources, you will also need Apache Ant.
