VoiceJam was created by TC-Helicon. At the heart of VoiceJam is a powerful audio looper. An audio looper works by recording sounds you make while playing them back in a repeating loop. The cool thing is that as the loop repeats, you can keep layering new sound on top of it. You can harmonize yourself, add rhythms with your voice, record the sounds of random objects in your life – the possibilities are endless.
