One of the software from the research labs is called <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/songsmith/" target="_blank">Songsmith</a>. This  software lets you record professional-like songs right from your computer.</p>
<p>  Name of the application says it all. Songsmith helps you  create a song from the scratch with minimal effort. All you got to do is write  your own song (if you want to be original) and then sing it using a mic. Once  the recording is complete and you hit the stop button,  Songsmith will generate musical accompaniment to match your voice and complete  the song with the music and everything to make it sound better <img src='http://tnerd.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>  Trust me you will not be disappointed. I tried a line or two  from one of the songs (I wrote once upon a time) and it actually sounded like  music <img src='http://tnerd.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>  You can do a lot of things with this software.. you can  either select from one of the 30 available musical codes or add your own to the  song. &nbsp;Just drag the arrows to left or  right to make the background music more jazzy or peppy!</p>
<p>Start by selecting &quot;New Song&quot;</p>
<p align="center"><img width="418" height="336" alt="" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/newsong.png" /></p>
<p>Go on to select to slect the background music style..</p>
<p align="center"><img width="496" height="234" alt="" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/song-starter.png" /></p>
<p>Once you are done with the recording, hear an instant  preview of the song and if you like what you hear you can either save it or export  it to .WMA, .WAV or simply export it to Movie Maker and add it to a birthday  video or whatever..</p>
<p align="center">  <img width="386" height="232" alt="" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/exportsong.png" /></p>
<p>Though this tools is not for free and costs about $30, you  can try it for free for up to 6 hours and its totally worth it! Click <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/songsmith/" target="_blank">here</a> to visit Songsmith official site.</p>
<p>If you do try it.. do let me know what you thought about it.. </p>
