2. Problem Statement

Current Limitations in Music Platforms:-

Despite the vast number of songs available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, users
often find themselves limited to the original artist's voice. This lack of variety can lead to
listener fatigue and a narrow perspective on music. Many users express frustration over the
inability to experience songs in different vocal styles, which can diminish their overall
enjoyment.

User Needs and Preferences:-

Music lovers desire more choices in how they experience songs. They want the ability to
listen to their favorite tracks sung by different artists or in various styles, enhancing their
overall enjoyment and engagement with music. Surveys indicate that a significant percentage
of users would be interested in a tool that allows them to customize the vocal style of their
favorite songs.

Market Analysis:-

The music industry is evolving, with a growing demand for personalized experiences. As
technology advances, consumers are increasingly seeking innovative solutions that cater to
their preferences. The Voice Alchemy AI project aims to fill this gap by providing a tool that
enhances user engagement and satisfaction.

3 Design Thinking Process

Epathizing with Users:-

Understanding the frustrations of music listeners is crucial. Many users express a desire for
more vocal variety, indicating that they often feel bored with the same artist's rendition of a
song. Engaging with users through interviews and focus groups has provided valuable insights
into their needs and preferences.

Technical architecture:-

file. The recorder allows you to pause and resume recording as needed.

2. Choose an Effect

Select from various voice changing effects such as Pitch Shift, Robot Voice, Reverb, Echo, and
more. Adjust the parameters to fine-tune the effect to your liking.

3. Apply the Effect

Click the "Apply Effect" button to process your audio. The processing may take a few seconds
depending on the length of your audio and the effect selected.

4. Preview and Download

Listen to both the original and processed audio to compare the differences. If you're satisfied
with the result, click the "Download" button to save the processed audio to your device.

Effect Descriptions:

Pitch Shift: Raises or lowers the pitch of your voice without affecting the speed.
Robot Voice: Creates a mechanical, robotic sound by modulating your voice.
Reverb: Adds spaciousness and echo as if speaking in different environments.
Echo: Creates distinct repeated reflections of your voice.
Low Pass Filter: Removes high frequencies for a muffled or deep sound.
High Pass Filter: Removes low frequencies for a thin or tinny sound.
Chipmunk: Creates a high-pitched, fast-paced voice like animated characters.
Deep Voice: Creates a deep, resonant voice with enhanced bass.
Telephone: Simulates the limited frequency response of old telephone systems.
