mmmm…
Sorry is that in breach of the forum guidelines?
I don’t know, so I asked
If your post remains there, it means it is fair
This forum is quite liberal, so I suspect there are no problems
But I am just one user
cheers
I was informed that it is fine
so keep making music and be happy, Bob
If interested here’s a song with a very exposed Synth-V voice … well two voices actually … with very little instrumentation to bury it so you get an idea of how passable it is. Listen for the breaths in between certain phrases; also the power of the female voice ramps up gradually towards the end. It’s not perfect but good enough to make demos with:
So nice. Just wonderful to be able to create vocal ideas this easily in the modern age. Thanks for sharing.
Cool!
If I succeed to double the RAM in my system, maybe I’ll try it again
with a male voice anyway
Ah, wow! Amazing. So beautifulsinging, fluid melody, unbelievable. I would like to compose something like that, I mean with voices from Syntesizer V, not the same style. I am an old rocker, so it would not be appropriate
Great!
maybe something with a bit more percussion and male + female vocals? this is both Kevin and Natalie + Solaria.
@Miki Ha, yes it’s not my usual style either. In this instance I was writing to suit the voice because I liked it. Rock is trickier (at least with SynthV which doesn’t yet seem to have the voices to handle it). You can hear my attempt at a punky-rock style track here (the 3rd track is more rocky than the first), along with folk, pop, rock, EDM etc. For the rock ones I’m crushing the vocal as a “best-I-can-do” workaround. However, Suno can generate amazing rock voices in their songs. I just haven’t seen any voices you can program as standalone yet. Let me know if you find any!
@davide As someone who has long lamented the fact that they can’t sing, the last 2 years have been a lot of fun. I particularly love the way we can test out toplines by changing the occasional note/word here and there. It’s like Melodyne on steroids. I am looking forward to using it with ScalerTopline2 (that’s on the cards, right?)
@ClaudioPorcellana Not sure how processor intensive Synth-V is. I don’t think it’s any more of a hog than many synth plugins. There’s also a standalone (import your music into). You could always try the demo.
Also, lovely build and production on your tracks @Bobrv8
“now I use it as a vocal guide for real singers”
Agree. As of of this moment a great real singer will stomp all over a Synth-V vocal, but it’s absolutely fantastic for using as a guide. Have also had some happy accidents simply moving notes around to see what works. As I said in another post, it’s like Melodyne on steroids!
I listened almost all of your tracks and I love most of them
they are rocky indeed
How I envy your rocky voice, BTW
Mine is sweeter, and swallowing nail files doesn’t help
Thanks for the kind comment @EricJames and love the work you’ve done on “By The Way”
It’s amazing how the voice in I Can Get You Higher works great with fast changes of syllables. The voice you used is really punk-ish. Another nice work.
Thanks. Yes, it’s very capable and I’ve had it sing even faster, which it coped with flawlessly.
Another alternative is this, which is a newer contender and to my ear sounds better. I think it’s a subscription-only model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCYTqDSUbvU
Be careful with adv videos
They are often enriched with tricks that are not part of the tool itself, and there were (in)famous videos resulting to be made with tools different from the one advertised…
Once I was fooled this way, e.g. by Autodesk Animator, whose demo was made with the Pro version
Here is my old demo
BTW, I lost the audio, but now I have Scaler and many plugins…
I’ll do a new one!
one thing a number of folks do is to use another tool like audimee, kits, lalal, emvoice, etc to blend in (or change) to another voice - so the SV vocal becomes the “performance” and then you use one of the tools to alter it to another voice (and some include the ability to use your own by creating a short set of your vocals to train it) and voila! it no longer sounds like the stock vocals. and of course like many things, quality across these tools can vary greatly, but in listening to a number of songs done this way, it’s a significant step forward in rendering much more realistic singing.
Do you mean that there are tools able to change my voice in the Tom Waits one without smoking like a chimney, and drinking straight from the whiskey bottle?
absolutely. might even be able to sing in key too!
