Abstract
The teachings described herein are generally directed to a system, method, and apparatus for separating and mixing tracks within music. The system can have a video that is synchronized with the variations in the musical tempo through a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user of the preselected performance that was prerecorded, wherein the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected performance.
Claims16
A video game console system for mixing complex multimedia data using audio tempo mapping, the system comprising:
- a processor and a memory on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the memory including
- a multi-track digital file of a preselected performance having a plurality of audio tracks that include an isolated instrument audio track containing only audio from an isolated instrument having variations in musical tempo including variable tempos, rhythms, and beats, and a scrolling digital image file that is synchronized with the variations in the musical tempo;
- and,
- a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user for the preselected performance, wherein the preselected performance was prerecorded, and the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having the variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected performance;
- and,
- an output module on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and in operable communication with the processor for viewing the scrolling digital images synchronized to the variations in the musical tempo using the variable tempos, rhythms, and beats that compose the variable timing reference track.
A video game console system for providing users with an opportunity for gaming that includes variable tempo audio through viewing scrolling digital images synchronized to the variable tempo audio, comprising:
- a network interface;
- and,
- a server computer system having a processor in operable connection with a web server on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the web server having custom audio files accessible to a user, the audio files including
- a multi-track digital file of a preselected performance having a plurality of audio tracks that include an isolated instrument audio track containing only audio from an isolated instrument having variations in musical tempo, and a digital image file that is synchronized with the variations in the musical tempo;
- and,
- a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user for the preselected performance, wherein the preselected performance was prerecorded, and the variable timing reference track includes a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected performance;
- wherein, the system provides the user with the opportunity for gaming in synchronization with the variable tempos, rhythms, and beats of the isolated instrument audio track.
