It's trained on the singer's singing, so the "auto-tune" actually applied pitch styling based on the original singer.

The only parameter that it modifies is pitch deviation. That makes sense, because other parameters would be really hard to extract.

The parameters are:

  • Improvisation (Slider)
  • Singing Style - Vibrato 1 (Slider)
  • Singing Style - Vibrato 2 (Slider)
  • Singing Style - Overshoot (Slider)
  • Random Seed (Integer)
  • Enable Pitch Correction (Toggle switch)


In true Dreamtonics fashion, what "Vibrato 1" and "Vibrato 2" mean is anyone's guess. There's no documentation on it.

Of course! I was going to say, but after all that, they're all your children. In fact, I think I got that from you. =8^)

I'll probably put out a solo version anyway. wink

The main issue was that I'd re-adjusted bits of the song with the expectation that the harmony was there, so I'd have to make some changes to the mix and singing before posting that.

Hey, it sounds substantially better to me. Do I hear more vibrato there? I am honored to have possibly contributed in that small way, I enjoy this thing more each time I listen.
Yes, there's more vibrato, as well as AI-generated "improvisation".

I also tweaked the vocal so on the lower notes it leans less to the "male" gender and added some more volume and tension, because it's weak down there.

I really hadn't intended it to be so up front as it currently is, but I tend to make do that with my counter-lines. One of these days I'll learn to do normal harmony, but it's much less fun.

I also modified the final cadence so, with the voices in unison at the end. I think it's a stronger sound than having them split on harmony.

And each time you listen, you've probably heard a slightly different version, as I've been making other small tweaks along the way. wink

Thanks!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
