With the rapid development of network technology, many karaoke fans nowadays can use their mobile phones to record audio files while karaoke without entering a professional recording studio. However, how to make the final editing, splicing and outputting the audio sound better, is a big challenge that many recording softwares have faced before.
Because usually when users record a song, the part that needs to be re-recorded may only be one sentence or a few words. Before the Kugou patent has not appeared, everyone needs to re-record the entire music many times. This is not only Increases the consumption of mobile phone memory resources, and due to the difference in the breath, distance from the microphone, timbre and other controls during each re-recording, the sound collected by the mobile phone will be different each time, and the final editing and stitching will result in the re-recording. In part, the sound sounds poor, and there will be obvious splicing marks.
