    When singing a one-minute-long self-created song for an infant, is there a super easy way to turn it into music on the phone or on the Windows PC?

    I have PCs, iPads, Android tablets, iPhones & Android phones where I simply want to sing a song but also have something add the background music.

    A bonus would be if it can translate that song into a variety of languages
    with the music so that it can be a tune created for the baby to listen to.

    The background is I sang a self-made song sixty years ago to my own kids,
    which I then sang to their kids thirty years ago and which I want to sing
    to the great grandkids today who live a few states away from us so it has
    to be recorded and sent over a suitable cross platform voice messaging app.

    What I'm seeking is an app that does it all for me, if possible.
    1. I sing the one-minute-long song a' cappella into the device
    2. The app sets that chorus to appropriate background music
    3. The app then translates the refrain into various languages

    Do any of you have a working easy solution for that specific problem set?

    I don't know nothin' about no apps, but I think you could send your
    grandkids one of these, which connects to their smartphone with
    bluetooth, and then you can call the grandkids on a video call and sing
    it to them. you din't have background music for the first 70 years, you
    don't have to have it now. I think they can record your phone call and
    play it back so you don't have to stay up to their bedtime every single
    night, especially when they are 20 and go to sleep at 11 which is 2AM on
    the east coast.

    These will make their smartphone louder and better sounding. Frankly,
    the cheeper one is as good and as loud as the expensive one except it's
    not stereo, Although if you buy a second one later you can make them
    left and right channels and then you can put them more than 4" apart.
    The first one is about the size of an egg so it's easy to travel with.

    I have a Casio SA-5, a joke of a thing, but it has a keyboard, and it
    has a rhythm button for establishing a backing beat. This was $40 CDN at the time, and the power adapter for the thing (instead of the four batteries it took)
    was $20. This is not a MIDI keyboard, so your only opportunity is to play in real time.
    With a MIDI, you can record your composition.

    With the backing beat free-running, you can play your composition on the keyboard.
    That's surprisingly hard to do, stay in tempo. (Just click the play button, most
    of the metadata is incorrect.)

    Once you've made a tune for yourself, then you can sing to it. Use headphones for the background audio, record via the microphone. Mix together.

    The problem with singing a capella, is it's too hard for a computer to
    make it out. Yes, it can do voice recognition, up to a point. But singing
    is not the same as speech, and no guarantee it could even extract words.
    Let alone tempo or key.

    I was too eager to push these two devices. Even though I think they are
    great and have many valuable uses**, including your grandchildren
    playing your singing from their cellphones, I shouldn't minimize your
    desire to do it your way. I'm sure there are plenty apps and pc programs
    that will enable you to video yourself along with sound. If you want to
    add background music, the search word you should use is Dubbing.

    https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Dubbing+windows+programs Yes, you could have, would have done this yourself, but I don't have
    time to do more.

    For a long time I thought dubbing only referred to making actors appear
    to be speaking a language other than the one they are speaking, but it
    also refers in general to blending sound tracks. (I have a vague memory
    that the popular PC program whose icon is the orange traffic cone does
    this, but I could easily be wrong.)


    **For example, I'll be able to listen to webradio in bed, but without
    risking rolling over on the phone itself, which can be on a table or the
    floor nearby, and only the speaker will be in the bed with me. And
    because the cheap one is small and round, it looks invulnerable to being
    rolled on. Tune-in, which has loads of advertising, has an option to
    turn itself off after a user-set time.

    That's VLC, and indeed based on a google search, it does seem to do
    dubbing. VLC is totally free as I recall, and I remember it being more powerful than prior video players.

    Googling vlc dubbing yields among other hits:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GROqpGUZfdY
    How to Dub video with VLC player
    although maybe you only want to dub audio, but i'm sure if does video it
    does audio.

    I prefer to use the PC for just about everything, but when I just tried
    to open VLC on my phone, I got Permission not granted.
    There were 7 more lines of text but they came and went in less than a
    split second, each time I tapped on it, over and over again, so I
    coudln't read any of it. I've never seen that before.

    "Permission not granted android vlc" gives a lot of hits, but does
    anyone know the most commmon, most likely reason for this, and the
    remedy? It would save me a lot of time.

    this, but I could easily be wrong.)
