Presented as a research/technical project, it sounds really cool and interesting. It's the reality that doesn't quite scream "fun". It might have helped if Sumit could sing that first line in tune. But he sums up the marketing and target market pretty well: "for the person doing this the first time, it's magic" Corollary, for the person who actually creates music themselves, it's ... whatever the opposite of "magic" is. (evil poo?) I wish life had a "happy" slider... Wait… isn’t that Dan guy the same one who played the father in the (extremely crappy) commercial?
