Well acktually, in my admittedly limited experience, Shazam is not capable of recognizing any music at all without the digitized metadata encoded with sound files. I've tried multiple times to sing very popular songs to it. It never recognized them. You could attribute it to my poor musical skills (and I'm fine with that), but 100% of humans would recognize the songs in < 10s timeframe.
- alfredmuffin 8y agoSounds like the problem was your singing.
- pvinis 8y agoPun intended?
- FPGAhacker 8y agoTo the best of my knowledge, Shazam works on frequency spectrum analysis and how it changes over time. This includes all aspects of the music and not just melody.
- chrisweekly 8y agoTry SoundHound for singing
- avip 8y agoI have. It outperforms Shazam hands down for this use case. But still very limited.
- smoe 8y agoAs far as I know, the way Shazam uses fingerprints it is not supposed to recognize any song this way. Or even when a cover or a live version of a song is played. I remember Adam Neely (A musician/jazz composer/youtuber) mentioning in a Q&A, that for songs they played live for a television broadcast, backing tracks were added underneath and it was mixed as close as possible to the originals, among other reasons for the purpose of them being better "shazamable". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH_5j3Wm9qM&t=11m38s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH_5j3Wm9qM&t=11m38s
- twtw 8y ago> digitized metadata What are you referring to here? It doesn't recognize you singing because it doesn't have the same spectral content as the full song. Shaman doesn't really identify tunes, it identifies recordings. (And it is amazing to me that it works at all)
- rlpb 8y agoIt recognises _recordings_, not performances.
