Canta

Canta is a lightweight software application that provides real-time analysis of the pitch of your voice in order to help you learn how to sing better.

You are welcomed by an intuitive interface that allows you to carry out most operations with minimal effort. Plus, the graphical display of the pitch is its main advantage, as it enables you to analyze the pitch and rhythm using visual feedback.

While the melody is played in your speakers or headphones, the notes are displayed in the primary panel. What you sing is highlighted with a red line, while the notes of the songs are shaped in the form of green rectangles.

When you sing in tune, the red line is automatically placed in the green squares. You are allowed to change the pitch of what is played using the transposition buttons.

As soon as you run the program, you are invited to set up several parameters related to microphone, frequency, and MIDI device. Canta makes use of its graphical pitch representation for letting you know if you sing the song in tune or not in order to correct your voice.

What’s more, you are allowed to upload MIDI files and use the horizontal and vertical scrollbars, as well as zooming buttons for watching if you sing in tune and see if you need to adjust and improve your performance.

The utility gives you the possibility to record your voice and save the audio streams to WAV file format, enable the automatic volume option for decreasing the input level of the microphone if it is too loud, pick the instrument (e.g. piano, organ, guitar, bass, pipe), as well as change the layout of the tool by selecting from different skins.

Canta proves to be a reliable application that comprises a handy set of tools for helping you graphically monitor your voice pitch and record the audio streams to WAV file format.
