Abstract: A music production system comprises: a computer interface comprising at least one input for receiving an external request for a piece of music and at least one output for transmitting a response to the external request which comprises or indicates a piece of music incorporating first music data; a first music production component configured to process second music data according to at least a first input setting so as to generate the first music data; a second music production component configured to receive via the computer interface an internal request, and provide the second music data based on at least a second input setting denoted by the internal request; and a controller configured to determine in response to the external request the first and second input settings, and instigate the internal request via the computer interface.

Abstract: A method of combining data, the method comprising: receiving video data, the video data corresponding to recorded video having a video duration determined by a user; selecting backing audio data, the backing audio data corresponding to backing audio having a predetermined duration; determining a difference between the predetermined duration and the video duration; and modifying the backing audio data by adjusting the predetermined duration based on the video duration to create an adjusted predetermined duration, the adjusted predetermined duration being such that the backing audio and recorded video may be simultaneously output in synchronisation.
