      I think you will not regret getting Synth V, it is a wonderful tool and I warmly recommend it, especially the Pro version with the random seed function. There is a learning curve, yes, but you will be able to begin composing rightaway. One thing to learn is mixing the voice well into your songs so that it fills the space. Another thing is timing, melody and pitch. For me it is pure joy to work with it because I love Solaria's voice, especially the Lite version, so no work is too much :-)

      @-SoundMatrix-  Рік тому +1

      Thank you very much! Yes, you can import any audio (the whole instrumentation or just the backings) into Synth V and work on it as it is playing.
      To do this
      - open the arrangement pane
      - open the tab Project and choose Create a new instrumental track, then the file
      - compose your vocals
      - render your new vocal track as a wav, either in solo mode, or by clicking the other tracks away in the mix-down menu.
      I wish you much fun composing :-)

    Why not use the vst version of SynthV directly in your DAW?

    • @-SoundMatrix-
      @-SoundMatrix-  Місяць тому

      Hi! There are several reasons why I don’t use the VST.
      - First I want to be able to make changes to single words or sentences, without changing the rest of the vocals that I’m satisfied with. So I prefer to separate them into little bits, to avoid messing up what I have finished.
      - Then I work a lot with backings and doubled voices, so I use multiple tracks, each with different effects and settings, not just on one global track. I want to be able to cut and paste single parts of those tracks which is often necessary.
      - I also want to be able to shift the vocals forward or backward, for example when I change the length of a part of the song while I’m working. This shifting would destroy all the work on pitches that I’ve done before, so I prefer a fixed audio to the VST.
      - And another reason is that I use Logic Pro and the VST causes all kinds of problems in this DAW. I’ve been told that these problems don’t occur with other DAWs, so it seems to be an incompatibility with Logic.

      You can also record the vocal line in your DAW and then import the Midi file into Synth V.

      Hi, thank you! Do you mean import a text file to save time and not type the lyrics?
      By selecting all bars and by right-clicking one of them, you have the option "insert lyrics", they will be put in automatically.
      So you can copy a text into the clipboard and insert it.
      I'm not sure if the result will sound good and probably it is better to define the pitch and timing of each syllable by hand, but it is possible.
      For singing at least, I don't know about text to speech. If anybody reading this comment knows more, please leave a reply, thank you.
      I would also refer you to the Synth V forum: forum.synthesizerv.com, hoping that you may find an answer there.

I am confused here as I am just beginning with the product, but to me this is a strength of the VST plugin: you can edit "on the spot", and always hear your voice with all the effects you want.

      I am working in Logic Pro and these were my observations with the VST plugin. Through precious feedback from other users, like yours, and through information from forums, I heard that others do not have this problem as they are working with a different DAW. They can edit the tracks on the spot and hear them with all settings. It seems that this (and other issues, crashes etc.) occur only with Logic. So no worries if you use another DAW :-)

Most other DAW makers, such as Presonus, pretty strongly recommend only using the VST3 version of plugins and ignoring AU, both for stability and because the VST3 specification is more fully-featured.

    Can you make a tutorial using solaria and how we can make different layers. If I was normally recording a singer I would recorder 6 or 7 takes and then layer them to get that chorus effect but with solaria the vocal is essentially the same every time you render it. Not like a human would do. I am left with only using a single take and can't layer because the vocals phase eachother out becuase of their similarity.

    • @-SoundMatrix-
      @-SoundMatrix-  Рік тому +1

      I know exactly what you mean and I’ve been trying a lot to solve that problem, but without success: as soon as you double a Solaria voice track, it has that unpleasant tinny sound that shows that it is a synth singing, not a human being.
      It doesn’t help to give a totally new and different pitch to the 2nd track.
      You can give an effect such as a reverb or a delay on one of the tracks, this takes away the tinny sound. But you lose the normal chorus effect that you seek for.
      My solution is to give Solaria backing vocals, it makes the voice sound fuller. The unpleasant sound appears only when using the same notes in vocals and backings, so I avoid doing that, always keeping the doubling voice a few notes higher or lower. It is limiting, but it is the only way I found to handle that.
      Sorry for not being able to make a tutorial. Yet, I will keep trying to solve that :-) And if ever you find a solution, I would be grateful if you tell me, please.

    • @ChrisJohnson-pc3pd
      @ChrisJohnson-pc3pd Рік тому +1

      Ok I understand. I watched another tutorial where a guy layers using three different ai voices but they were so similar they just made the track louder and not chorus. I was also looking into the rendering a different take with diffrent settings but it still doesn't make it different enough to layer. It's kind of frustrating.

    • @-SoundMatrix-
      @-SoundMatrix-  Рік тому

      What works well is, for example, Solaria singing in chorus with Asterian, because the form of their pitch is very different.
      But layering the same voice is... yes... kind of frustrating.

    • @utubewillyman
      @utubewillyman Рік тому +1

      I find that I have to manually adjust the duplicated tracks: detuning each one, shifting the syllables left and right, changing the pitch curves, changing vibrato intensity and phase. It is a long process and even after I do it, it doesn't sound quite like the layered effect I'd hear from human singers.

      Solaria is fitting for your purpose, I think. Depending on the style of EDM you will make, you can use her with a good dose of powerful and passionate in her settings, as well as with a soft and airy touch.

    Interesting method to do this. I would find it hard not to test the vocal all the time while writing the vocal melody without going back and forward with the audio files. When using it as an AU plug in in my case is so much easier. It is great to have different methods to do this stuff :-)

      I think that is the difference between our methods. I don't put the music into Synth V, but put the vocal line into my DAW.
      And: Yes, many times yes :-) We have different approaches but we care about the end product, and that's what counts!

Having Synth V as an AU plugin active along with my other virtual instruments not only lets me hear and compose the musical arrangement along with the vocal but allows me to write the next section of the music while also testing the vocal melody in real time. I need to check that the vocal fits without going back and forth from standalone Synth V to rendering..then back to the DAW. I’m not knocking your method but its not for me. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it! 👍

      Thank you very much for your feedback! I understand your point so well. I wouldn’t be able to compose with a Synth V voice without hearing and testing what I have just worked on.
      And that is why I don’t use the VST plug-in, it doesn’t give me the possibility to edit the voice and adorn it with the effects that make it sound good. It lets me hear only a thin vocal line that doesn’t sound like much, and I can’t really judge the effect that it will make in the song.
      So I prefer to render sentence by sentence as an audio file, putting each of them into my DAW after having rendered it, hearing and testing it in a good quality, before I move on to the next sentence.
      We all have our methods to work, and it is good to exchange our view points! :-)
