baa baa black sheep

Hello,

I love singing along to Baa Baa Black Sheep, but I find that the current version is too low for me, even though it’s sung by a female singer. Would it be possible to create a version in a higher key (but not tooo high) to make it easier to sing along?

Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoy singing along to Baa Baa Black Sheep.

We completely understand that finding the right key can make a big difference when singing. However, at this point we’re  not able to add additional versions of songs in different keys to our catalog. Maintaining multiple variations of each track would significantly increase our production and library management workload. To keep our catalog clear and accessible, we focus on offering a single version of each song.

That said, we have a great alternative for you! You can easily adjust the pitch of the song yourself using free software like Audacity. This allows you to customize the key to what feels most comfortable for your voice without affecting the quality of the recording.

Here’s how you can do it in Audacity:

  1. Download and Install Audacity – You can get it for free at https://www.audacityteam.org/.
  2. Import the Track – Open Audacity, then drag and drop the audio file into the window.
  3. Select the Audio – Click anywhere on the waveform and press Ctrl + A (or Cmd + A on Mac) to select the whole track.
  4. Change the Pitch – Go to Effect > Pitch and Tempo > Change Pitch.
  5. Adjust the Key – Move the slider slightly upward to raise the pitch (for example, by 2 or 3 semitones).
  6. Preview and Export – Click Preview to test it out. Once you’re happy with the result, go to File > Export to save your new version.

This way, you can customize the pitch to what feels most comfortable for your voice. Let us know if you need any help with this process!

Here's the backing track version of the song. Use the WAV version for better results:

Happy singing!

 

Thank you so much for your detailed and helpful response!

I’m glad to hear that there’s a practical solution for adjusting the key of songs to better fit my voice. I already have Audacity installed, and I’m looking forward to experimenting with it based on your instructions.

I really appreciate the time you took to explain this process so thoroughly. It’s service like this that keeps me satisfied and loyal to your catalog. Thank you again for your support and for providing such a great resource for music enthusiasts like myself.

You are most welcome!
