Apple Announces Apple Music Sing - Pricing, Features & Availability
Apple announced Apple music Sing, a new Apple music feature that turns your iPhone into a karaoke bar quickly and easily. Apple announced that the new feature will be available for Apple music subscribers later this month.
How It Works
Apple Music offers the two most important things that you need to organize a karaoke party. A song with faded or no vocals and real-time lyrics synced with each song. Apple Music was already offering live lyrics. With Apple Music Sing, Apple is also adding a new sound slider for vocals which enables users to adjust the vocal volume according to their preferences. However, Apple Music doesn't allow users to completely remove the vocals.
Apple has also created a new duet view that will allow multiple users to sing easier simultaneously offering a great team experience with friends and family.
Features
These are the new features of Apple Music Sing according to Apple:
Adjustable vocals: Users now have control over a song’s vocal levels. They can sing with the original artist vocals, take the lead, or mix it up on millions of songs in the Apple Music catalog.
Real-time lyrics: Users can sing along to their favorite songs with animated lyrics that dance to the rhythm of the vocals.
Background vocals: Vocal lines sung simultaneously can animate independently from the main vocals to make it easier for users to follow.
Duet view: Multiple vocalists show on opposite sides of the screen to make duets or multi-singer tracks easy to sing along to.
Compatible Devices, Pricing & Availability
Apple Music Sing will be available on the Apple Music app on the iPhone, the iPad and the new Apple TV 4K. However, this is not available for all iOS 16 compatible devices. Apple Music Sing is exclusively available for iPhone 11 and later and iPhone SE (3rd generation), since this is an AI feature related to the chip inside the device. Furthermore, only the iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Air (4th generation and later), iPad mini (6th generation), and iPad (9th generation and later) are compatible.
Apple will release this new feature alongside iOS 16.2 which is expected next week (RC beta version this week). Apple advertises as a new Apple Music feature and not as a new service. This means that it will be available at no additional cost for Apple Music subscribers. However, Apple Music sing will not be available for Apple Music Voice Plan subscribers.
