Abstract: A method for synchronizing a pre-recorded music accompaniment to a music playing of a user. The music playing is captured by at least one microphone, which delivers an input acoustic signal feeding a processing unit, which includes a memory for storing data of the music accompaniment and provides an output acoustic signal based on the music accompaniment data to feed at least a loudspeaker playing the music accompaniment. The processing unit analyses the input acoustic signal to detect musical events and music tempo, compares the detected musical events to the music accompaniment data to determine at least a lag between the timings of the detected musical events and the musical events of the music accompaniment, and adapts a timing of the output acoustic signal based on the lag and a synchronization function calculated from a temporal variable, the user's music tempo, and the duration of compensation of the lag.
