  • I've been using a new tool, Descript - www.patflynn.co... - for editing audio and video, and it's definitely made my life a lot easier. It's actually a game-changer. However, within the tool, there's a feature called Overdub that allows the program to read text in your voice, without you having to record it. Let me show you:
    So what do you think? Useful, or not?
    Also, here's a link to a video where I show you more about how awesome this tool is for general editing for podcasts and videos: • This New Audio & Video...

      @@flaviomorofurian5271 A.I. might, but Machine Learning is machine learning because there are forms that are parameter-less. samples yes of course, but the collective data we already have can do the OP's idea very easily already today. weve had hundreds of thousands of existing recorded audio to train from for years.
      to the OP: you only need a believable voice assigned to a character.. not a forensically accurate voice. a trained tool can analyze and guess a large majority of context of who is speaking.. a configure file can assign character name to voice. and there are ML models that can take guesses at the "intent" of the words ( the emotion)
      i bet an ML generated short story is already possible. with voice talent. and we are pretty much there for an expressive, stylized video result too. ( not film quality yet, but shortfilm project quality 90% there)

    The overdub sounds a little too clean when played right next to a recording. By itself, it's pretty great, but side by side like that the difference is a bit jarring. I imagine at some point they'll have the AI mimic any kind of mic and background noise when overdubbing. Not dissimilar to how you can add certain grains to photo/videos to mimic different films.

      Descript now has a new feature called Studio Sound that's designed to clean up audio. It's actually crazy how good it is. I've used it on some audio from my friend I used to do a podcast with. Unfortunately he recorded through a gaming headset into his phone so the quality was pretty terrible. Using their new Studio Sound feature, it legit sounds like he recorded it in a proper microphone with no background noise.

    Whats crazy is that this could also be used in the music industry. The more I think about it based off of what you’ve shown in the video using someone’s vocal tonality and kind of making it midi based. You could type your lyrics in a plug-in and every time that a note is triggered it could read the next line on the midi grid, in the correct notation. This of absolutely fascinating and could work in metal vocals too

    I think this is a pretty amazing tool....not just for editing and overdubbing pretty quickly but it also brings consistency to your work.

      Add some Altiverb with the right room, and there'll be no difference.. You could make an impulse of the exact room and it'll be hard to distinguish. Really hard. Being able to hear a difference in room really doesn't say much about how good something fakes your voice, it's not a reverb..

    BTW... because you read the text about the pinguines..... Here is something really awesome done by nature: these pinguines staying there in the coldest times of the year, guarding and nesting their egg, are the males only. While the females head to the equator to gain weight and grow strong, the males stay with the egg. Hereby they stand very closely in a circle and every about 15 minutes, the males from the center move to the outside circle. This is how they keep each other and the eggs warm, while suffering great weight loss. Awesome fathers, these guys. ;-)

In those situations, a single word might be all that is necessary to change, just to make a an affirmative answer to a question be positive, or vice versa. It now has me thinking about the forensic tools it would take to detect this.

    PLUS anyone on your team can learn how to edit (without video editing experience) it also saves a ton of time compared to traditional video editing software.
    All you need to do is edit the actual transcript it creates, and it'll cut it from your video as well all in one swoop. (and overdub mistakes)

    It can't replicate emphasis and other ways that humans will speak. There's multiple ways you can phrase the same sentence, and this is what adds emotion to speech. Humans arent monotonous when communicating.
    This isn't surprising because I'm on the spectrum, and growing up it was very difficult to determine the meaning behind what people were saying. This is because like an A.I. I would interpret everything in a literal, straightforward sense.
    Modern A.I. isn't capable of distinguishing these nuances, and despite capturing your voice, it will need direct input on HOW to use it.

Plus, it may be an AC on or something, but the high noise floor may also aid to this. A few things can be done to help this - 1) Move the microphone closer to your mouth, 2) Eliminate as much background noise as possible, and 3) Treat your room to discourage as many acoustic nuances and reflections. I can actually see this program doing quite well when you train it in the right environment.
