    You should be banned for posting that.

    This thread needs a 'someone will undoubtedly post that they want the last four minutes and 17 seconds of their life back' warning.

    I could only watch 44 seconds before contemplating suicide and/or computer murder. Maybe that should be the point to this thread, how long could you watch before shutting it off.

    Interestingly enough they're using a MacBook Pro poorly covered up with stickers. It's funny cause the product is only for Windows! This has got to be the worst ad I've ever seen, yet I can't keep from showing it to people! Well played Mircosoft.

    Ok no way that is real. Anyone else notice the little girl is on a PowerBook?

    Maybe a real idea but I know those guys and every one of them would have been fired for putting a Mac anything in their add!

    THIS however is a real Microsoft video that the people at Microsoft R&D did for a prank to rant about how marketing messed with their ideas....

    I'm saved! My computer at work won't load YouTube!! Ususally this is a bad thing, but this time due to everyone's reviews, I won't complain.


    I'm sure for morbid curiosity I'm sure I will end up viewing it when I get home.

    OK, here's my opinion.

    The commercial is uber ghey. No question.

    I am, however, VERY interested in other applications this could be used for.

    My question is whether or not this program can export the chords it comes up with into MIDI notes, and if those notes would require a separate mechanical license in order to be inserted into another composition for profit.

    I cannot tell you the number of hours I sat with raw acapellas listening to them over and over again trying to compose something simple and usable. This could be something for guys like myself who used to spend their time doing that kind of thing.

    I could insert the raw vocal into this thing and let it spit out random melodies and then export the notes to a real sequencer and use real instruments to compose.
