Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a recording accompaniment performance device for singing.

It has become common practice to play a recording medium (magnetic tape or record) containing only the orchestral accompaniment of a song or popular song and sing along with the reproduced orchestral accompaniment. Recording media containing recordings are commercially available.

This is what is called karaoke. However, when ordinary people try to sing using the above-mentioned karaoke machines, they usually experience some difficulties.

First of all, I don't remember the lines of the song.

Second, and more importantly, you cannot tell when to start singing just by listening to the accompaniment.

Thirdly, if there is only accompaniment and no melody leader, it is not possible to sing along with the accompaniment.

Fourth, even though I could sing, I was now out of tune.

The first of the above difficulties can be solved by singing while looking at a piece of paper with lyrics written on it, but that would reduce the fun of singing at karaoke.

The second and third difficulties are that the accompaniment music is different from the melody of the song, and to the untrained eye it sounds completely unrelated to the melody.

The fourth difficulty is that even those who are used to singing along with accompaniment music have no one to correct the tone of their singing, so they cannot understand it themselves and have no opportunity to develop their pitch sense.

These second to fourth difficulties are particularly noticeable in middle-aged and older people who grew up in an environment with poor music education.

On the other hand, singing using karaoke is a pleasure for the singer himself, but there is also another pleasure in letting others hear it, so it is desirable for the singer to be able to sing well. Even the listeners want to sing well.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to enable people to sing well using karaoke, even if they have not memorized the phrases well or have not practiced singing sufficiently. .

This invention uses a multi-channel recording medium in which the accompaniment orchestra and the singing voice of a professional singer are recorded in separate channels, and the same recording medium is applied to separately pick up and amplify the accompaniment orchestra and the singing voice, To provide a recording accompaniment performance device for singing consisting of a multi-channel playback device in which an accompaniment orchestra is directly output from a speaker and a voice is output to earphones.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows a magnetic tape as a recording medium in the present invention.

1 is the tape itself, a is a voice recording track, and b and b' are accompaniment orchestra recording tracks.

Figure 1A has eight channels of tracks, and each song uses two tracks, one for the voice and one for the accompaniment, and four songs are recorded in parallel.

Figure 1 B is a stereo recording of one voice and accompaniment, b' 2.
The tracks were recorded one by one in series.

Figure 1C shows a stereo recording of four songs in parallel, with one track for the voice and two tracks for the accompaniment, with a total of 12 channels.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a recording and reproducing apparatus, to which the tape shown in FIG. 1 C is applied.

1 has four songs recorded in parallel on magnetic tape.

Reference numeral 21 indicates a playback head for the voice, and reference numerals 22 and 23 indicate playback heads for the accompaniment recorded in stereo.These three magnetic heads are connected together and can be moved up and down as one by a well-known switching mechanism, thereby allowing the reproduction of four songs. You can select any one of the songs recorded in parallel.

The output of the magnetic head 21 is applied to the earphone E via a preamplifier A1 and a volume controller 1.

The magnetic heads 22, 23 are connected to preamplifiers A2 and A3, respectively, and A2. The output of A3 is the volume adjuster VR, V
It is connected to mixing circuits MR and ML via L.

The output of the volume V1 of the voice channel is also connected to the mixing circuits MR and ML via a switch S.

The outputs of the mixing circuits MR and ML are power amplifiers AR and A.
The outputs of AR and AL are connected to the right speaker SR, respectively.
, is connected to the left speaker SL.

If the switch S is left open, the voice reproduction signal will not enter the mixing circuits MR and ML.

When the tape recording is played back in this state, only the singer's singing voice is output from the earphones E, and only the accompaniment orchestra is output from the speakers SR and SL in stereo.

Those who sing at karaoke put earphones E in their ears and adjust the volume■
1 to adjust the voice to the desired level and play the song.

Singers can hear the song through earphones, so if they are led by it, they don't have to worry about timing to start singing with the accompaniment, they don't get confused even if they forget the lines of the song, and they can sing along with the accompaniment without getting out of tune. However, for the person who sings, the singer's voice is only audible through the earphones, and the accompaniment orchestra can also be heard, so there is ample pleasure in singing by oneself, and the singer's voice is not heard by the listener. I can't hear it at all, so it doesn't sound like it's being led by a professional singer's voice, and it sounds like they're singing very well.

If you close the switch S and play the magnetic tape, the accompaniment will be accompanied by the voice of a professional singer, so you can listen to it as a normal record performance.If the singer himself sings with the microphone m, the accompaniment will be heard from the speakers SR and SL. Since you can hear the singer's voice and the singer's own voice, you can use it as if you were working as a team with a professional singer.Furthermore, if you separately record the results of singing at karaoke, you can compare the results and see how well you sing. You can better understand your bad skills, habits, etc., and improve the effectiveness of your practice.

Also, in Figure 2, Am is a microphone preamplifier, Vm is a volume, and you can optionally output your own voice from speakers SR and SV.

The device of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and allows amateurs to sing while receiving the melody lead and with recorded orchestral accompaniment, so they can sing more clearly and better than with accompaniment alone, and even if they forget the lines of the song. Since you don't have to worry about it, you can enjoy karaoke even more.

Furthermore, it can be used to practice imitating songs (because you can sing while listening to the singer's own voice), making it a useful device for professional singers.

In particular, the present invention has a feature that, by changing the switch S, in addition to performing karaoke while being led by the singer's singing from the earphones, it is also possible to perform as if performing a duet with the singer, and to fully appreciate only the singing and accompaniment. have

Although the above-mentioned embodiment uses magnetic tape, the present invention can also be carried out by recording both the accompaniment and the voice separately in one groove, with the orchestra on one side of the stereo recording and the voice on the other. can do.
