Soon, there will be an entire album of songs with vocals generated by a computer with no-one actually playing any instruments or singing!

The demo is pretty impressive with the background harmonies being the vocaloid.

ok....now you dont have to sing anymore...

Wait till they come up with the humanise function....including emotions .......

that's pretty damn scary. a nice step up from that autochorus crap though if you need harmonizing and just ain't got the voice for it

The Sweaty Dudes

I knew it was only a matter of time.

The "Little Bird" demo was pretty good...for Bgv's anyhow.

I wounder what it would sound like with a lead vocal line.

If at first you don't succeed, don't try sky diving-Warren Miller

I think the sample I heard was in Japanese. WHich is fine, but I have no idea what "it" was singing.

I really don't see any need for this. Are they trying to put the lady who does the voice on the telephone out of work? It's cool that it can be done. That's not enough for me think it Should be done.

Having worked in the 3D animation, I keep near those sites. I saw a digital beauty contest. That is to say virtual women created by designers. As a guy I'm not sure how I feel looking at them

I'm hearing Oingo Boingo!!!....Weird Science!!!

"Now you can COMMUNICATE emotion so directly. You can add HUMANITY to ANY production in ANY style without needing a human. You can CONTROL and PERFORM your OWN private virtual professional soul vocalist."

If this is the future of music, count me out.



Creating is one thing...but to remove the performance?

Stuff I mess with...

I was thinking about this last night, while for some reason I couldn't change the channel on TV. I was watching SNL, And Britney couldn't lipsynch and dance at the same time. I was almost convinced she was singing from the 1/2 dozen other "performances" I've seen her do. But this was BAD. Like Godzilla BAD.

An example perhaps of Performance choices that must be made I guess. Who on earth could jump around that much and sing. Besides Ted Nugent.

My point being the studio is the studio, the performance is the spectacle. For some. Nothing new in some respects. Just that now the session guy is a computer guy, instead of Glenn Campbell.

Scary. Like Blade Runner Scary

Hey Joe ( ) next time Britney's on a show such as SNL make an anouncement BEFORE NOT AFTER please.

Sorry, if I sound rude. I am just trying to make sure every one is playing fair around here.

Dusty, evn the best laid plans.....I just clicked past her on my way between the Shawshank Redmeption and the Patriots game.


Oop I...couldn't resist. Thanks I needed that.

More seriously with all the Devo songs being changed for TV spots lately. Maybe a bastardized version of Mongoloid to sell this thing. It could really bring home the bacon.

I'm suprised it took so long, I remember there was a program for the Apple IIc my family used to have in like 1986. It sounded like Stephen Hawkin though, but that was running on a computer with 128Kb(0.12mb) of memory. I always wondered why they didn't use this technology in videogames early on.

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible"FZ

Just heard the demo.... I'm not impressed - the BGs sound warbly, nasally, and over-chorused....

But I'm sure this vocaloid stuff will become as overused as the Autotune.... and record companies will use it as even more of an excuse to put out talentless shit a la Britney!

I guess mics and preamps will be rendered useless and soon be obsolete. What kind of gear lust are we gonna have then?
