Looks like we are getting close to a time when there will be a pedal, trained to your voice and phrasing, that will have several voices and harmony patterns to choose from for doing backup vocals live.
I've been using AI vocals and stacking etc. The problem though is no matter how many different timbres one uses to make harmonizing vocals (what you were doing was in unison and not necessarily harmonizing) it tends to sound robotic. I guess my point is I with there was some sort of "randomizing" button to where each take can be slightly off timing from one another which would make things sound a lot less mechanical. Don't get me wrong...this is amazing tech. I've been using their other software for over a year now.
Hi, good tutorial, I have not yet found a description for how to use Vocoflex in "standalone." What exactly is meant by this? I mean, how can I use it outside of my DAW? Is it just for change my voice, in realtime, while speaking? Thanks
Idk, to me, as soon as you set it back to your voice after trying the other voices, the character came back and sounded like Bon Jovi for a little while.
Thank you for the excellent video! I'm a bit confused though. Can I use this program to change the timbre of my voice using a famous singer's voice, legally? I'm not talking about identical, I mean just in the ballpark. For instance I'm a baritone with not so great timbre/tone. Can I take a vocal track of the singer from pearl jam and let it study that and contour my vocal to sound similar and it would be legal???I don't want to train and use his voice. I do not want to steal someone's voice, only alter my own tone.
In other words find a similar singer to Peter frampton 😅buy his ai rights and your a pop star . Or you can use these voices included without royalties right? What if I upload ai voice from Udio no one owns it? I do I paid monthly.
if you are singing than it should work. the AI model was trained on singing not speech, so spoken word isn't what this is meant for. Also OBS doesn't have VST3 support, so you'd have to use something like Waves Studio Rack to host Vocoflex
Is there a way to use this software with voice input ? I own a company that needs sales people, I need a female voice but don’t want to have to a hire another employee just for that
Hello, will this plugin let u sound like someone of your choice? instead of choosing a preset that they have avalible? lets say u have an acapella of drake, can i blend my voice to his voice? or even 2pac?
Probably not legally. You can import a sample of literally anyone's voice, as long as its at least about 10 seconds of singing, and it will attemp to match it... But when you do that, it automatically tags the sample with an inaudible watermark that is tied to your identity (you literally have to give them a pic of your driver's license or some other form of ID in order to activate the plugin). That means that if Drake hears his voice on the radio in a song that he didn't sing, and he wants to sue somebody over it, they'll be able to identify EXACTLY who made it and what samples were used.
you can use any voice samples that you have. the law on this is murky, so the disclaimer in the video is to only use samples you have the right to use.
Disclaimer : There is zero AI in this product and the fact AI is "needed" to be mentioned to make it sound like it's something new / revolutionary, tells you all you need to know about this plugin
When you import a voice sample it creates a mini model of the voice based on the machine learning programmed into the plugin. That is the AI. please try to keep up 🤣
@@BenoniStudio Yeah, I see you don't really understand what AI implies. There is absolutely no AI in this plugin or nothing about it that could be considered to be AI. It's all programmed and more in the line of things like match EQ, pitch correctors, etc. Stuff we had for ages. It's just forcing the sound to match a pre set target/spectrum. That's why it also doesn't sound that great. We have realtime voice changers/transformers for ages.
@@AndriesdeHaanBy the standards it seems like you're setting for A.I...then sure, NOTHING is really AI or anywhere close to it lol. Maschine learning algorithms are pretty commonly referred to as "AI" now. And the goalpost for what actually constitutes maschine learning is constantly shifting as algorithms advance. A few years ago this would have been cutting edge maschine learning. Whether or not you think "A.I." is a accurate way of describing it depends on where your personal "cutoff point" stands for what is (or isn't) A.I. But that's a philosophical question and is thus pointless for you or anyone else to proclaim what is AI and what isnt...because there's no agreed upon "correct" answer...at all. It's like arguing whether or not a virus counts as "alive". So arguing with people like you're that genius who has finally figured it all out...is just snooty 😂
This may look scary to songwriters with only an acoustic or a piano, BUT it may make it easier to make potentially great songs from home studios. A little revenge for the world's lyricists, no?

shouldn't you stop using MIDI then? Because every time you use MIDI drums you have replaced a real drummer you would have needed to hire. Every time you use an Orchestral library you have replaced hiring a whole orchestral section (not cheap either) and renting a sound stage to record in.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!
me too... and not on a fucking subscription!!!
Let me know if you can analyze Sam Kinnison or Axl Roses' voice?
I got Synth V and it's great. Wish they had a demo trial for this one.
yeah thats unfortunate. it'd be nice if they could find a way to do a 14-day trial. Synth V is my next video 👍
Is 200 bucks damn. So tented

try cutting the harmonies and moving them a few samples either way
Hello, do you know a processor or a plugin that does that but singing live? Thank you so much
Just move or retune the vocal? But also for its intended use you just get multiple takes of the same lines and give them a voice each.
😮Thats Crazy Asfxxx Seriously thats Hard🔥
What languages are available?
Hi, good tutorial,
I have not yet found a description for how to use Vocoflex in "standalone." What exactly is meant by this?
I mean, how can I use it outside of my DAW?
Is it just for change my voice, in realtime, while speaking? Thanks
you could use it for singing on stage or a DJ might want to use it
my fellow studio one fam
I cant understand
What program do you use and how use it?
Idk, to me, as soon as you set it back to your voice after trying the other voices, the character came back and sounded like Bon Jovi for a little while.
Did you try running lead instruments through it .ie playing realtime piano through vocalflex presets ?
thorough review. thanks
Hello, does it only work when uploading files? Can't you use singing in real time? thank you so much
Thank you for the excellent video! I'm a bit confused though. Can I use this program to change the timbre of my voice using a famous singer's voice, legally? I'm not talking about identical, I mean just in the ballpark. For instance I'm a baritone with not so great timbre/tone. Can I take a vocal track of the singer from pearl jam and let it study that and contour my vocal to sound similar and it would be legal???I don't want to train and use his voice. I do not want to steal someone's voice, only alter my own tone.
you can use any audio sample you have the rights to use.

That's pretty dang awesome, I want it!!
I need this.
Can I use this with a mic input and use it real-time while singing/speaking into the mic?
@@HyperNova137 There would be a separate mode because real-time requires more CPU. Duh.
can this be used in obs to change my voice?

Yo, does this work with NSFW sounds as well? I do NSFW content and I'm tired wasting money on these expensive voice actors.
What's the speech/rap real time like?
this is made for singing. it's not great for spoken word usually. I haven't tried it for rap
Is there a way to use this software with voice input ? I own a company that needs sales people, I need a female voice but don’t want to have to a hire another employee just for that
This is really for singing and not spoken word.
