How-to / Karaoke
Change the key of a song for karaoke. Your range, the same tempo
To sing karaoke in a comfortable key, open the backing track in VibeDeck Player and move Pitch down or up by up to 8 semitones. The tempo stays the same, so the groove does not change. It works offline on iPhone, iPad and Android with your own audio files.
Most songs are recorded in the singer’s key, not yours. If the chorus is too high, you strain. If it is too low, you mumble. Moving the whole track a few semitones fixes that in seconds, and keeping the tempo means you still sing with the same feel.
