Suede Sing changelog: what we've changed
Suede Sing 3.1: a full voice curriculum, programs that plan your weeks, songs that score and remember you, and a pitch engine measured to the cent.
A voice curriculum, 102 lessons deep
The full Suede voice course now lives here: 7 stages, 34 modules and 102 lessons, from posture and breath through the passaggio to style and performance. Every module links to a room to practise it in, and where the skill can be measured, it is scored against the same 50-cent in-tune tolerance the studio uses. A new Learn hub maps the whole path, with a 20-minute session template and a seven-day starter plan.
Multi-week programs, worked day by day
Six named programs, from a one-week recovery plan to the twelve-week plan from The Measured Voice. Most practice days run 10 to 20 minutes of routines, breath sets, songs and range-test check-ins, every item deep-linked to the exact step it opens. Four programs are open to everyone, and the two Pro programs open their first week free.
Songs that listen, and remember
Pick a pass: Listen, Sing along with the guide under your voice, or On your own. Songs earn star grades and a mastery mark, and mastering two songs in a band opens the next of five bands. Set an A-to-B loop with two handles that snap to note starts, record your take and play it back in the summary, and run tempo anywhere from 25% to 125% in 5% steps, or on Auto, which follows your last loop's score. A short taste quiz picks your first songs.
Breath and vibrato, measured
The microphone now hears you breathe in. A 2048-point spectral classifier tracks its own adaptive noise floor and marks an unvoiced inhale of 0.25 to 2.5 seconds; the sustain test and a new Breathe and sing drill wait for it. Vibrato drills read the rate in hertz and the width in cents of every hold against a 5 to 7 Hz target band. New drill sets cover vibrato, vocal recovery and high notes, plus a Pro mix set.
A sharper pitch engine
The NSDF detector now reads through a 4 kHz low-pass, takes a true median of four readings, and rejects 50 and 60 Hz mains hum and periodic room tone while still hearing quiet voices. On a synthetic A3 vibrato in our precision harness, bias fell from 5.5 cents to 0.7 cents. Every live room gets the upgrade.
A plan for today, and a report for the week
Today's three picks three warmups a day, weighted by your recent scores, each at a starting tempo those scores set. Routines run themselves, full-screen, across warmups, ear training and breath. On your first visit of a new week, a card sums up the week you just practised. And Note Catcher joins ear training: steer with your voice and hold on each target for 0.4 to 0.6 seconds, by difficulty, to catch it, including chases built from the songbook.
Warmups that sing with you
Press start and the guide sounds under your voice — taught once, then continuous — with a real breath and a two-click count-in before every rep. Ladders climb to the top of your range, walk back down, and keep going as far as your voice does. And the score follows the phrase you actually sang.
Your practice record, kept
Until now this browser held the only copy of your sessions, streaks and range history. A free account backs that record up and restores it on any device you sign into. The backup carries your numbers — never your audio: pitch analysis still runs entirely on your own machine.
A deeper reference shelf
The singers library now holds 636 famous voices — every range drawn on one keyboard, with records pages for the widest, highest and lowest. The Voice Atlas joined The Measured Voice as the second book, both open their first chapters free, and a vocal glossary sits underneath. The song section adds real songs with guided, scored melodies.
New rooms, sharper tools
The voice analyzer opens: a spectrogram of your own harmonics, tone, and vocal load from any sung phrase. The studio lets you pick exactly which microphone it listens to, and the range test says plainly when it hears too little to judge. Beyond this tab, a Chrome extension puts the coach in your side panel, and Suede Voice carries the range test to iPhone.
A calmer room
v2 rebuilt the site's voice: an editorial serif for the headings, a real type scale beneath it, and one meaning for violet — gold now only ever marks Pro. Ten focused tabs replace thirteen, and cards lift when they are clickable. A practice room is a console, and it finally reads like one.
Early Access: $79 once for lifetime access
Both books in full, the pro warmup packs, pitch analysis on every take, your range history, and cloud sync. v2 grew the free studio; Pro is what keeps it free.
