Synthesizer V - Natural Vocal Blends

[@BCRilakuma]

In my opinion, the automation done in SynthV sounds more natural. In addition I can change my lyrics in the last minute 😃

[@mixphantom0101]

Yes, internal blending is better as Synth V can keep the phase locked between voices. I only use Synth V for backing vocals so my workflow is much faster and more flexible. Also, it's useful to hear the voice blends under compression, EQ etc.

Another brilliant tutorial - thank you! Your work really makes a difference to the community 🎉

To be clear: Originally performed by Jackson 5 (Michael Jackson)

But is'nt there a unwanted chorus/phasing effect?

[@ShonnMorris]

Yes there is, I can hear it too. I also use Synth V in Cubase. The best way I've found is to customize the parameters for each song. That way, when you get a soft part or a loud part it still fits the performance. I then save each as a preset. This even includes slight adjustments in the gender slider but again, slight, you don't need much. I have songs where Solaria sounds like two completely different singers because of this. Custimizing to the song I've found is the best way.

Yes indeed there was... but a subsequent analysis with the MAutoPhase sorted it! Offset in the demo was 44 samples when it needed 91 samples. I've since discovered that subtle differences between the "Light" and "Power" voices require finding a section with more consonants and/or extending the analysis window time. Try it... it works! 😉

Very interesting and so thoroughly explained. Might be a bit daunting for your average Joe who has already developed skills at tweaking the modes right in Synth V itself, but hey, this would be the Gold version for it.

​@@kingslaphappy1533 Stand by for the "Platinum" version 😉

Compliments for the usual pro video. The great idea here is the one knob real time control, that makes it so expressive (and much more fun towards a number of automation curves). I am a fan of vst synths that have macros in the main page, each macro linked to many synth parameters, I have these attached to Cubase Quick Controls and mapped to the physical knobs of my keyboard. I also purchased, last year, Minimal Audio Morph equalizer, where you morph an equalizer curve into another based on one single knob: they propose it for messing up, but I use it judgely as a normal equalizer and i find it way more useful than a normal eq where you should move a lot of automation curves to do the job. So this applies generally, and the reason why it works is because one, in real time, may move his physical knob by listening to the music and by "heart", making a much more realistic tune (in the case of Solaria). Finally, we might ask the dreamtonics crew to include it into Synth V in a next version. In the meanwhile, thanks for your suggestion!

Sounds great. Did you manually add all the breathes?

[@mixphantom0101]

Yes this vocal was created before the audio to MIDI feature.

[@kevinwilliams4855]

Boom! 💥 Thanks Mark. Another informative video with some great ideas! BTW, MAutoAlign... I forgot all about that plugin, which I purchased back in 2015. I've upgraded music PCs since then, and for some reason, Melda Productions is not in my Cubase list. 🤷‍♂ Such a useful plugin... It is now back in the arsenal.

Very interesting video! I love some out-of-the-box thinking to make complex production techniques more usable. So here’s a tip: include at least a link to the product in a pinned comment or video description. I had no clue this even existed until I stumbled onto your video and took the time and effort to actually search the internet to find out what this is about. Unless you want to remain elitist about it of course…

[@mixphantom0101]

Thanks! You're absolutely right re product links... here's a Melda tip: every week they put 4 of their plugins on sale at 50% off
