[@shrimpchips5853]

I thought a real person was singing this until I looked at the channel description. You’ve got skill at this, I especially appreciate the fact that you cover in English and Japanese. This is my favorite song by MARETU as well, so thanks for choosing it. Very good work all in all, I hope you get recognized more in the future!

Muito bom, me lembra um pouco de Vocaloid

[@raider3167]

So as someone who’s never really gotten into vocaloid music, how’s this different from AI Vocalists?

[@ArtificialDjDAGX]

vocaloid is hand-crafted by placing out the melody that the voice should sing, just like you'd do with other instruments, only exception being that you also have to add in what parts of words belong to which segments of the melody, and how they connect to one another, if it's supposed to be a slow or fast switch from a certain tone to another, etc. Looking at the video, in the background, you're seeing the actual melody that the vocaloid is following.

"AI Vocalists" are an algorithm pulling samples from non-consenting actual vocalists because someone took 10 seconds to type "Marilyn Manson sings Barbie Girl". Vocaloid is done with artists who created sample packs of synthesized voices and every damn syllable has to be pitched and placed yourself and it takes quite a bit of work. I never really got into Vocaloid either but I would also never deny the amount of effort people put in. (If you want an example of what I mean by Vocaloid using actual vocalists, there's a Swedish singer that goes by Yohio that got big in the Japanese visual kei scene and some years down the line he collaborated with Vocaloid to create 'Yohioloid' so people could make songs with his voice- he receives compensation for it and the person using Yohioloid has to pick out all the sounds and pitches still to create a song)

[@krel7160]

In simple terms. AI generates things instantly. If you've ever used FL studio, or even garageband, you'd know that to put even an all synth song together with prerecorded instruments, you still have to tune the pitch, decide how long or short it should be, and make sure it's all lined up right. Well, imagine that instead of a guitar riff, or set of licks, you're having to align various vocal intonations "La, Koo, Pa, Uei", etc, etc. You then have to make sure they're pitched right, that they're set in the right order, and also in the right frequency to actually sing. You remember the old SFM and GMOD animations of TF2, where people did sentence mixing of the different mercenaries to make them say things they had no dialogue for? Same concept.
