- This tutorial is about 3 topics:
1) The basics of composing vocals in Synthesizer V
2) How to render the vocals „brick by brick“
3) How to create backing vocals for your song
This is my 2nd tutorial about Solaria, an AI-voice, created by Eclipsed Sounds, in partnership with Dreamtonics.
I’ve been working for more than a year with Synth V and several other voices, I tried out many methods, and in my opinion the simplest and quickest way to render the singing and bring it into your Digital Audio Workstation is „brick by brick“, sentence by sentence, each in a separate wav-file.
Through this it will be easy to edit each part of the vocals, in the same way as you would edit an audio recording made by a human singer. It will also be easy to create good backing vocals for your song.
It doesn’t matter which Digital Audio Workstation you are using, it also doesn’t matter whether you are using the Synth V Pro or Basic (free) version, the way of rendering is the same.

After using Synth V for wuite some time I really appreciate this composing tip 🙂
And I really appreciate your feedback, thank you! :-)
I hear on your channel that you have much experience in music. It is so good to exchange and learn from one another!
thank you! i'm currently learning synthV and becoming comfortable with the voicebank Hanakuma Chifuyu, and have been *manually* editing all of the backing vocal differences... i only just learned there's a way to do it automatically 😭 hopefully someday soon i can figure out my own music production!
Hi, I'm glad that I could show you something useful :-) Thank you very much for your encouraging feedback. I wish you good luck and success with Synth V and your own music production!
good stuff! there are many valuable hints in this video. thank you!!
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad to share what I have learned and I'm glad that it was useful to you. Our final goal as composers is to give the world plenty of good music, isn't it ;-)
Great song! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Thank you so much for a very clear lesson. 👍
Makes me happy that I could help :-) Many thanks for your feedback!
This is excellent, I'll spread the news. You should have many more subscribers!
Thank you very much for your encouraging feedback!!
I came here from the album from Decompression - Love is the beauty of the soul with lyrics from Solaria and it just sounds so good I was amazed. Maybe I will try using this for my own creations on day
Hello! You should try Solaria out, you will be surprised at how easy it is. Technically. It also needs some musical talent. If you have it, don't wait :-)
Pretty great, thank you... Doing a great job..
Thank you! Highly encouraging! :-)
Excellent thanks very much!
Welcome, and thank you for your feedback, I'm glad the tutorial was useful to you!
Great tutorial. Simple. Clean. Straight to the point. Thank you.
And I thank you for your feedback, I'm glad that the tutorial is helpful!
First of all, your song is beautiful...your lyrics are amazing! Thanks for making this tutorial. It's really insightful and easy to understand. Best wishes to you for your songs and your channel.
Thank you, your compliment on the music really makes me happy! And I must return it, you are a composer with a lot of know-how and your arrangements are just perfect.
I am glad that I could be helpful with the tutorial. Music is our common love and I'm sure you will have the same pleasure composing with these great voices that I have :-)
Best wishes back to you and I hope that many people will listen to your music!
@@-SoundMatrix- Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Your talents are amazing and I'd be totally jealous if I was that kind of person.😄 I'm so happy for you!!! You are a gift! And oh my goodness! Really? Thank you so much! I very rarely receive compliments (just mom and little sis - typically just critique from the hubster. 😝) You have made my day!!! Again, thank you for your videos, your amazing songs and you kind words! Have a wonderful day!
You ARE cool! ;-))
@@-SoundMatrix- 🥰 Awe! Thanks! Most people consider me a total nerd!!!🤣
You made my day too, with your refreshing and sincere way to be, so you can't be a nerd, my dear ;-) Some may see you as a nerd because you spend much time and energy in a lovely world of music, in that case I'm a nerd too...
Really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Welcome, and I enjoy your feedback, thank you! :-)
No worries. I'm thinking of getting this programme myself. Is there much of a learning curve with it?@@-SoundMatrix-
I think you will not regret getting Synth V, it is a wonderful tool and I warmly recommend it, especially the Pro version with the random seed function. There is a learning curve, yes, but you will be able to begin composing rightaway. One thing to learn is mixing the voice well into your songs so that it fills the space. Another thing is timing, melody and pitch. For me it is pure joy to work with it because I love Solaria's voice, especially the Lite version, so no work is too much :-)
Thanks. I appreciate your help. @@-SoundMatrix-
Welcome! :-)
THANK YOU!!
Welcome, I'm glad I could help you! :-)
This is an interesting way of doing it. I have been using Synth V as a plugin and then bouncing the audio from the plugin.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm glad I could show you an alternative approach!
I also like your song 😊
That makes me especially happy ;-) Thank you!
Im just watching this bc ohh man i want synthv pro one day imma do smth and then i noticed your uwu voice in some words you say and that made me smile 😅
I'm glad I made you smile, thank you :-))
Brilliant Tutorial , can you bring a wav file with backing in to synth v so to write words to the music as its playing as a guide
Thank you very much! Yes, you can import any audio (the whole instrumentation or just the backings) into Synth V and work on it as it is playing.
To do this
- open the arrangement pane
- open the tab Project and choose Create a new instrumental track, then the file
- compose your vocals
- render your new vocal track as a wav, either in solo mode, or by clicking the other tracks away in the mix-down menu.
I wish you much fun composing :-)
hi...very interesting...thank you that you share your knowledge!! Is it possible to play into Synth V with a MIDI Keyboard to create the vocal line...?
Welcome, and thank you for your feedback!
Yes, you can record directly from a midi controller into Synth V if you have the Pro version. You will find all settings and details here: manual.synthv.info/advanced/midi-controller/
You can also record the vocal line in your DAW and then import the Midi file into Synth V.
I wish you much pleasure composing with these great voices :-)
Hi, how are you adding the plus sign to your blocks?
Hi! Just double click the block and write the plus sign into it, like you would write any other letters into it (example: for the word reward, write "reward" into the 1st block, "+" into the 2nd block)
Hi, I'm very new to this and new to your channel. Im thinking of getting Synth V Pro with a voice bank in bundle. I want to make edm tracks with English vocals and I was eyeing Natalie. However, I heard and read better stuff about Solaria. Do you think her voice and voice modes etc. are suitable for that purpose?
Hi! Nathalie is not bad, yes. But I recommend to get Solaria, I agree fully with the good things you heard about this voice. It is more elaborate than Dreamtonics voices in my opinion. Her (American) English is perfect.
Solaria is fitting for your purpose, I think. Depending on the style of EDM you will make, you can use her with a good dose of powerful and passionate in her settings, as well as with a soft and airy touch.
I hope you will have as much pleasure working with Synth V as I have! :-)
@@-SoundMatrix- Thank you for the insight and your point of view. :)
This is good. Text import? Speech from a text file?
Hi, thank you! Do you mean import a text file to save time and not type the lyrics?
By selecting all bars and by right-clicking one of them, you have the option "insert lyrics", they will be put in automatically.
So you can copy a text into the clipboard and insert it.
I'm not sure if the result will sound good and probably it is better to define the pitch and timing of each syllable by hand, but it is possible.
For singing at least, I don't know about text to speech. If anybody reading this comment knows more, please leave a reply, thank you.
I would also refer you to the Synth V forum: forum.synthesizerv.com, hoping that you may find an answer there.
Are these voices multilingual? I needed to use it in Brazilian Portuguese
Hi. Unfortunately the Synth V voices are only available in English and/or Japanese and Mandarin. However it is possible to let them sing in another language by using phonemes. You will find more information here in the Synth V forum: forum.synthesizerv.com , some users are quite deep into that topic.
Great tutorial!!
Does synthesizer v work with Garageband ipad/ios?
Hi, thank you, I'm glad that the tutorial is useful to you! :-)
If you work with rendered wav files that you insert into your song project (as described in the tutorial), it works well with GarageBand, no problem.
I think I tried to download on my ipad once. Couldn't get it for some reason. Does the trial/light version time out after a specific time?
Oh, I misunderstood you, sorry. Synth V is not available for iPad, unfortunately, it must be used on Mac or PC. But the rendered wav files can be put into your GarageBand while you use it on your iPad, like any other audio file, that is what I wanted to say.
The Light version does not run out after a time, no worries.
Thanks for all your videos/tips on SynthV! I have a question, at @5:10 you say that "this is not possible with the VST plugin... I am confused here as I am just beginning with the product, but to me this is a strength of the VST plugin: you can edit "on the spot", and always hear your voice with all the effects you want. Or maybe I am missing something here?
Welcome, I am glad that the videos and tips are helpful!
I am working in Logic Pro and these were my observations with the VST plugin. Through precious feedback from other users, like yours, and through information from forums, I heard that others do not have this problem as they are working with a different DAW. They can edit the tracks on the spot and hear them with all settings. It seems that this (and other issues, crashes etc.) occur only with Logic. So no worries if you use another DAW :-)
Thank you for reminding me of this point, I will make a notice in the description when I have time!
@@-SoundMatrix- oh, ok! I work with Reaper, and I could not work without the plugin version... I am just starting out with Synth V, but the plugin makes things so simple; I am surprised it would work differently within Logic Pro...
But thanks for all your other tips on other videos, really useful!
I was surprised too, because everything else works so perfectly in Logic and they update it constantly. Maybe they missed the importance that Synth V voices have for people like us ;-)
Have fun composing!
@@-SoundMatrix- It's possibly a limitation of AU compared to VST3. Most other DAW makers, such as Presonus, pretty strongly recommend only using the VST3 version of plugins and ignoring AU, both for stability and because the VST3 specification is more fully-featured. But of course in Logic you don't have that choice.
@@chrishillery I see. Thank you very much for your technical explanation of what I could not explain!
Can you make a tutorial using solaria and how we can make different layers. If I was normally recording a singer I would recorder 6 or 7 takes and then layer them to get that chorus effect but with solaria the vocal is essentially the same every time you render it. Not like a human would do. I am left with only using a single take and can't layer because the vocals phase eachother out becuase of their similarity.
I know exactly what you mean and I’ve been trying a lot to solve that problem, but without success: as soon as you double a Solaria voice track, it has that unpleasant tinny sound that shows that it is a synth singing, not a human being.
It doesn’t help to give a totally new and different pitch to the 2nd track.
You can give an effect such as a reverb or a delay on one of the tracks, this takes away the tinny sound. But you lose the normal chorus effect that you seek for.
My solution is to give Solaria backing vocals, it makes the voice sound fuller. The unpleasant sound appears only when using the same notes in vocals and backings, so I avoid doing that, always keeping the doubling voice a few notes higher or lower. It is limiting, but it is the only way I found to handle that.
Sorry for not being able to make a tutorial. Yet, I will keep trying to solve that :-) And if ever you find a solution, I would be grateful if you tell me, please.
Ok I understand. I watched another tutorial where a guy layers using three different ai voices but they were so similar they just made the track louder and not chorus. I was also looking into the rendering a different take with diffrent settings but it still doesn't make it different enough to layer. It's kind of frustrating.
What works well is, for example, Solaria singing in chorus with Asterian, because the form of their pitch is very different.
But layering the same voice is... yes... kind of frustrating.
I find that I have to manually adjust the duplicated tracks: detuning each one, shifting the syllables left and right, changing the pitch curves, changing vibrato intensity and phase. It is a long process and even after I do it, it doesn't sound quite like the layered effect I'd hear from human singers.
Thanks for your reply, I see that we're not the only ones to have that problem!
Hi, I work on windows 10 with cubase 13 and I would like to know if I can use this program with my configuration and if it's possible to chat in french.
Salut! Oui, Synthesizer V existe en 2 versions, pour Windows et pour Mac, et il n'y aura aucun problème. Puisque je ne travaille pas avec Windows, je ne suis pas au courant, mais je suis à ta disposition pour toute autre question.
Merci pour ton aide, dans la version démo, quelle voix est proposée ? @@-SoundMatrix-
De rien! Dans la version gratuite de Synth V tu peux utiliser toutes les voix qui sont offertes par Dreamtonics ou Eclipsed Sounds. Parmi celles qui sont gratuites (il y en a plusieurs) je recommande chaudement Solaria Lite, la plus belle à mon avis. Tu trouveras le lien de téléchargement dans la description de cette vidéo.
Salut, l'utilisation des voix proposées est-elle libre de droit ? Ai-je le droit de diffuser mes chansons créées avec Synthesizer V voir de les commercialiser ?
Merci !@@-SoundMatrix-
Bonsoir. Les versions pro sont libres de droit et peuvent être utilisées commercialement sans limite. Toutefois pour les versions Lite il y a différentes règles. D'après ce que j'ai lu (donc sans garantie): On peut utiliser commercialement les versions Lite créées par Dreamtonics si on leur a demandé l'autorisation préalablement. D'autre part, d'après les infos sur le site d'Eclipsed Sounds, on ne peut pas utiliser la voix de Solaria Lite commercialement.
I almost chose this as my voice.
If you want a perfect voice, Solaria is right for you ;-)
Your description on your channel is well generated, dear AI, I love it!
@@-SoundMatrix- Thank you! I appreciate that. It's not often I get a compliment because robot stuff.
Excellent tutorial, really helpful for someone like me who is just starting to learn Synthesizer V. As English is not my native language, I am having difficulty understanding some words in the excerpts below and maybe someone can help me.
03:58 Just a little ___
05:13 you can not edit the voice ___
05:37 I open the file explorer and ___ the rendered file directly in my song
07:33 position in the ___ mix
Hi, I’m glad that the tutorial is helpful to you, that is the purpose! Thank you for your feedback.
3:58 Just a little glimpse (of the track I prepared for the tutorial)
5:13 edit the voice on the spot. Means: you can not put your chosen effects and other plug-ins on it and hear it like it will sound later in your mix.
05:37 and drag the rendered file directly into my song
07:33 position in the surround mix (a feature/plug-in that some DAWs offer)
As I’m not a native English speaker either, my pronunciation may be a bit strange sometimes :-)
@@-SoundMatrix- Hi, that was amazing ! ! ! Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me with this.
Welcome :-) Always there to help
Interesting method to do this. I would find it hard not to test the vocal all the time while writing the vocal melody without going back and forward with the audio files. When using it as an AU plug in in my case is so much easier. It is great to have different methods to do this stuff :-)
Thank you for your feedback, it is SO welcome!
What you say is exactly my point, I want to hear my output from Synth V voices immediately. I can't go on finishing a vocal line without hearing what the line before sounds like. That is why I render it, immediately, and put it into my song, into the DAW,.
I think that is the difference between our methods. I don't put the music into Synth V, but put the vocal line into my DAW.
And: Yes, many times yes :-) We have different approaches but we care about the end product, and that's what counts!
I don't either put music on Synth V. I use it as an plug in on DAW.@@-SoundMatrix-
I understand
I have to agreevwith @User. Having Synth V as an AU plugin active along with my other virtual instruments not only lets me hear and compose the musical arrangement along with the vocal but allows me to write the next section of the music while also testing the vocal melody in real time. I need to check that the vocal fits without going back and forth from standalone Synth V to rendering..then back to the DAW. I’m not knocking your method but its not for me. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it! 👍
Thank you very much for your feedback! I understand your point so well. I wouldn’t be able to compose with a Synth V voice without hearing and testing what I have just worked on.
And that is why I don’t use the VST plug-in, it doesn’t give me the possibility to edit the voice and adorn it with the effects that make it sound good. It lets me hear only a thin vocal line that doesn’t sound like much, and I can’t really judge the effect that it will make in the song.
So I prefer to render sentence by sentence as an audio file, putting each of them into my DAW after having rendered it, hearing and testing it in a good quality, before I move on to the next sentence.
We all have our methods to work, and it is good to exchange our view points! :-)
Did the installation have a Microsoft certification?
Sorry, I don't know because I am using a Mac.
🙋🏻♂️🇲🇽
Your guide is awesome. Thank you.
If you develop more Vietnamese vocals, it will be even better. Good luck!
Thank you very much! Good luck to you too! :-)
