Oh, yeah, I know a bunch o' folks who made that trip --some are actually still there. That's country, Nashville country. Wonderful story lyrics and great musicians. An enjoyable ride, Duane. Thanks for the lift. Oh, and the video was perfect. Great production all around.
I read a little about your project and I remember several years ago looking into the technology but it seemed pretty limited at the time. Do you think they will ever achieve true human-sounding vocals? My view is that the human voice is the heart and soul of music, especially pop music and is one of the few things that separate a great song from all the others. I know when the "Cher-effect" broke and then we had thousands of releases using it. now it's kind of worn off, the artificiality became tiresome. I guess we'll see.
I was looking at your website and found "My Girl" by Smokey Robinson. Brought back memories of playing this song live back in the eighties. Fun song that everybody liked.
Ain't that the truth. My experience was back in the mid '80's. It was pretty much of a closed system back then but not hard to find excellent musicians in the Holiday Inns of all places.
Do you think they will ever achieve true human-sounding vocals?
You'll know it when you hear it.
How about this? The vocal is a bit back in the mix, but unless someone told me, I wouldn't have thought the vocal was synthetic:
Then again, since I don't speak Japanese, I'm not as attuned to the discrepancies which - when I hear them in the English version - seem to stick out like a sore thumb.
Here's the catch: doing this well is pretty much the same as putting together a convincing MIDI guitar solo. You can't just drop notes into the editor, you have to know how to shape notes and phrases like a singer. You need to make decisions a singer would made, often on a microscopic scale.
That's not an trivial skill, and it can take a lot of time to build a performance. That's time that could be saved by having a competent singer perform the track instead.
That said, they're also working on training the programs to learn and automatically apply vocal styles.
