FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple has announced a new feature for Apple Music that might just help you become a karaoke superstar.

The tech giants best music streaming service will be getting an upgrade later this month with the launch of Apple Music Sing. This feature will be coming
to devices like the iPhone 14 and iPad Air (2022) as an update to the preexisting Apple Music Lyrics tool for users worldwide and for free.

When it launches, not only will you be able to follow along with a supported songs lyrics in real time, but with the launch of Sing youll be able to control the volume of the vocal track too. If youre just starting to learn
the words and tune of a piece you can have the vocals at full volume; then as you get more confident in your abilities you can turn the artist down until youre completely overshadowing them and making the performance your own.

Best of all, even when the vocals are turned right down youll still have the band playing at full volume behind you, and the optional support of any backing singers too.

Apple Music Sing isnt just for songs with solo vocalists. You and a partner will be able to take on a range of duets or by reducing the volume of one vocalist you'll be able to perform a virtual duet with your favorite singer. Apple Music Sing on an iPhone 14 Pro (Image credit: Apple)

However, while were waiting for more details from Apple, it sounds like there will be a few disappointing limitations to this fun-sounding feature, at
least at launch.

For one thing, you won't be able to mute the original vocal track completely. We don't yet know how quiet you can make a singer, but we're expecting and hoping that it'll be as close to silent as makes no difference; we're
looking forward to trying Apple Music Sing to find out.

Another issue is that, as this is an expansion of Apple Music Lyrics, we expect that songs that currently dont support the feature wont support Apple Music Sing either and we expect that even the songs that do wont all appear on Apple Music Sing right away.

Apple has said it will have enough tracks to populate 50 dedicated companion playlists with a mix of duets, epic anthems, and tear-jerking ballads for the launch of Apple Music Sing; just dont expect every track in your library to
be supported from the outset.

Additionally, if youre someone who uses Apple Music on a non-Apple device like this writer, who uses it on their Google Pixel 6 it looks like this feature wont be headed your way. Thats based on the press release from Apple, which says the feature is coming to compatible iPhone and iPad models as well as the new Apple TV 4K no other devices are listed.

Hopefully, these restrictions won't be in place for too long, and more users will be able to belt out some of their favorite bangers.
