![]() ![]() People just lock onto the human voice too closely as it's in our DNA. Unfortunately I just don't think there is an easy way around it as even just getting the wrong singer can totally ruin a song/track and stop it from making the cut. I think it's better to get someone to actually sing the part and this is what I've done ever since. Vocaloid definitely doesn't come close to the real thing so potential clients listening for potential in a song could be easily put off as it just sounds weird. ![]() I have since realised that the human voice is such an important part of a song or track and a lot of this comes down to the actual human behind it. I think the voice ended up being detrimental to the actual track and my gut feeling is that it at least played a part in the demo never making the cut due to these factors. This in turn made it very difficult to actually write the track as I kept revising it mainly due to the vocal putting me off. The sound of the Cyber Diva voice is so robotic, cutesy and weird it ended up making me almost cringe when listening to the track because of the vocal. ![]() I created the demo along with the top line, backing doubles via some timbre shifting within the plugin and harmonizing, but I found to get it sounding almost half decent took me a lot of time. It's a hell of a lot more intuitive to use than the actual Vocaloid program which I thought was really clunky. There's also CC type controls for vibrato and other things. I think it might be easier to purchase these now outside of Japan but I haven't looked into it.īasically once it's all installed and registered you can bring up Vocaloid/Cyber Diva as a track within Cubase, write in midi notes, type in the lyrics on the notes and Cyber Diva will sing it. I think I found some installation instructions in English somewhere on the net too and managed to set it all up. From memory I had to purchase Vocaloid and CyberDiva from the US as a download, and then purchase a physical DVD from Amazon Japan for the Cubase plugin as it's was only available there. I had no demo fee for an actual session singer as it was speculative and thought this could be a good investment for these kind of demos by essentially letting me write the top line and BV's virtually.Īctually purchasing the software was ridiculously difficult (I'm based in Australia). I bought Vocaloid 4, Cyber Diva and the Cubase plugin about a year or more ago as I was putting together a demo for a job - basically a electronic/urban pop track. ![]()
