The point is, there are multiple ways to edit the pitch, and some might be easier than others depending on the person. Also, rather than using the pitch-draw mode (I still can't use it orz) I split the note into one or more smaller ones, and allocate the smaller one(s) to other notes to create just about the same effect.
It really does make it seem like you put more effort into making it realistic than you actually did. Pitchwise, I like to use portamento whenever I see fit. On the other hand, if something does end up sounding raspy and I can't remove that problem, I just turn up the breathiness for the entire thing a bit. Most of the extra rasp probably disappears while mixing, but it really, really bothers me when I can tell that it's been used liberally. There's no guarantee this will always work, but it resolves most of Oliver's mumbling problems and considering how drastic these are, I'm satisfied with that.ĭo not abuse the clearness and breathiness parameters. I don't know how useful this will be, with my limited experience, but here goes.Īlways turn the brightness up if there's a problem with mumbling. Until then, working on some more covers and English originals. though at this rate, probably won't be released until sometime next year. (=ω=)-bĪnd thank you! I'm trying to actually get an original song with her. To me, it makes getting to tuning in the editor that much faster. Being able to live record the notes/make necessary adjustments cuts back on some time as opposed to having to hand-draw each note and insert the lyrics in the editor. 。)Įven though I have FL Studio 12, I still use Anvil Studio for making the base for the VSQx parts because the lyric input for each note is fairly straight-forward and transfers over very well into the VOCALOID editor after you convert the phonemes.
It free to download and use, but for more complex options like visual parameter editing/automation, VSTe/VSTi support and such, that costs a little extra. It gives you a choice of using either the staff function (where you can insert note values with their related notation) or the standard MIDI piano roll to program the music. (If I'm not mistaken, you could also use the computer's own keyboard to insert some notes if needed, but I just go with the mouse.) & you could make a tutorial video on the "mushing" phoneme! :oīy the way, I've listened to your covers with IA & I think they sound great! Keep it Anon 216: Actually, for me, it was very easy to get when I started messing around with it in my early teens (and caught on fairly quick thanks to the staff notation), and yes, it does have optional MIDI input and real-time recording.
Because a vocaloid + the V4 editor is a little on the pricey side, I only want free external software in order to help with tuning. Is Anvil Studio's MIDI interface simple to use? Do you need to have an actual MIDI keyboard or an external item to use it? I have the demo version of FL Studio, & it looks very complicated to me. might have to put out an example when I get a chance. (It works pretty cool with IA from what I've done, yet I still haven't had the chance to see if it works for others as well as it does with her banks.) It's kind of hard to explain it. I also play around with phoneme "mushing" when it seems lowering the Opening parameter just doesn't cut it with certain V/CV combinations. I've settled into the process of programming the melody and lyrics via Anvil Studio's MIDI interface, then importing that track into the editor and tuning from there, since it's a lot easier for me to draft out parts with notation rather than drawing on a piano roll.
