Kickstarter: Capture Lyrics and Record a Demo in Hum

You’re in the shower. You’re at the mall. You’re in the parking lot. The next pop single has just popped in your head and you’ve got to get that idea down fast. But don’t fret. Just Hum it.

Hum, designed, branded, and engineered by a trio of music lovers, is pitched as an all-in-one alternatives to the apps we use daily to capture our song ideas. Instead of singing into Voice Memos or writing lyrics in Notes, Hum brings all your song writing tools into a single application. With Hum, you’ll be able to write lyrics, hum or record a riff, and then set the key. After recording, you can apply a root note and apply metadata for tuning and mood. And when you go to record that demo based on what you’ve written down, Hum will play back your tune with the correct tone, metronome optional.

Hum works however you do — it’s smart and flexible. You can write lyrics and record later, record first and loop a snippet to get down the perfect chorus, or filter your recordings based on a variety of metadata so you can knock out a recording session.

The guys behind Hum are looking to raise $20,000 by July 24th, and they’re currently well on their way with $3,407 raised. Of the pledges, you can get a discounted version of the app for $6 as a reward if the campaign is successfully funded. $10 will nab you the app and a pack of Hum branded picks and stickers, and $30 gets you a t-shirt. You can learn more and back Hum on their Kickstarter page here, and get an overview of the app’s features on their website.
