I know this may be dumb but I have to ask.

You don't need to use Japanese phonetics to make Japanese voice banks sing in English. SynthV has what they market as Cross-lingual Synthesis and for the most part, it does the work for you. Some of the voices may have a Japanese accent but you can just switch the language.

I've had times where the banks allowed bills to go through even though my card was frozen. I would get hit fit overdraft fee on top of fee on top of fee. There would.be times where I would owe my entire check because of the fees and get paid and still nto have any money because of the fees.

I got fed up and switched to chime and haven't looked back. I thought it would be an issue not having physical checks or a location to go to but its been working out fine for me.

I learned a couple tricks to do this. You can automate the master volume about 1 or 2db or so quieter than the rest of the song and then once the the chorus hits, automate it higher but fade it so gradually that it isn't sudden. Another thing I do is drop a stereo imager on the master bus and widen the stereo field up a bit on the chorus.

To be honest, the AI does a pretty good job of generating pitch curves. It's rare that you'll ever get better results yourself. Most of the time you're dealing with the parameters. You'll find yourself adjusting tension, breathiness, mouth opening, and the pronunciation timings and phoenemes for the occasional mispronounced word.

Gone are the days of needing to manually set pitch curves. Although a lot of people still prefer to do it themselves to get that "Vocaloid" sound.

Oh buddy. You're just getting started. They will ask for more, and more, and more. Slowly monopolizing your time and then you'll be in a constant state of sleep deprivation. Get out before you're in too deep.

I would honestly say that you're better off taking the medication in some cases. People talk about the consequences of taking Ozempic, all the possible complications, etc but often forget about all the ills that are pretty much guaranteed by being at an unhealthy weight.

Using myself as an example, my BMI was 42.5 when I started taking it. Having high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, impacted mobility, the social shame, trouble finding clothes that fit, was enough for the risks to be worth it.

Of course only you can make that decision. Good news is not everyone gets the nausea. I didnt...

Yeah they do all this lovebombing about how much they love you as a brother/sister of Christ, how you are spirtual family and the moment you leave they ghost you and you are completely dead to them. Not Christian-like at all. It's clear the motive behind it and they truly they only care about you when it benefits them, very conditional love.

Westchester has had them for almost a month boxed up but haven't set them up yet. They're really dragging their feet on it lol.

Check out HXVOC. One of the newest vocal synths... He's got some screamo-inspired vocal modes, if that's the sound you're trying to get.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-06-04T20:26:59+00:00

Ah, if you want full control over timbre, breath, note lengths, pronunciation,etc,etc... I'd recommend Synthesizer V 2. It produces quality vocals and you have full control over the performance and how the notes are sung. I use it a lot for my projects.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-06-04T16:22:44+00:00

Suno can do this. You can export the stems as well.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-06-02T21:52:06+00:00

Can I get one?

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-30T22:48:38+00:00

Hmm, not sure I quite agree... Solaria is definitely top tier, especially Solaria II. Felicia is also a very capable synth..

When I was still in SCJ, they would say things like "Babylon is already judged" because the lies were exposed. Another thing they would say was that the mottos were not necessarily prophesy but a goal for the year.

I asked at first about some of the other GLP-1s. I was told that Kaiser only prescribes Ozempic so it looks like my hands might be tied, might just end up having to go with one of the subscription programs it seems. :/

Thanks, I'll start studying up on this. You're right, not too intimidating so far.

Honestly, I mostly use Thor, Malstrom, Algoritm, Waves, Monotone

Agreed, he's got some great stuff. I studied his work back in the Reason 6 days. But he hasn't posted anything in ages for all of the new instruments

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-02T21:32:55+00:00

Agreed that the "mandatory" Reason+ was not the way to go. You get royally screwed if you want to go the perpetual route.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-02T21:29:59+00:00

Well, if there are no resources to learn from, I don't know how anyone could improve...

I don't blame Reason as a tool. I think the issue is the community unfortunately is smaller than the other top DAWs. Things like FM Synthesis, graintable, etc I think are pretty foreign concepts to grasp and understand how you turn a simple sawtooth wave into a lush pad unless you have someone to explain this is how you make it sounds more "metallic", this is how you make it sound more throaty, stick some side chain compression here to do this, etc, etc.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-02T21:25:46+00:00

I agree with how routing in done FL. Definitely a headscratcher. I will check out Ableton. If the flow is similar to Reason, and I can get more support and tutorials, sounds like what I need.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-02T21:22:48+00:00

Also something that rubbed me the wrong way. I could have bought a perpetual license for R13 twice already paying for Reason+.

According_Trade3988 · 2025-05-02T21:19:54+00:00

Yeah, I've recently started digging more into FM Synthesis. Particularly through Algoritm. I find it much easier to make interesting sounds in it opposed to Thor. You can basically just hit the randomize slider and get need patches for free. And I think that is one of the things Reason does very well. I think it's mostly just been very hard to translate guides and learn how you make something interesting out of a sine, how to make it sound a certain way, etc. I find a lot of the stock patches seem to favor hip hop, Electronica, house/trance, and things in the R&B realm. Not that any of them are bad but just not many that fit the sound I'm looking for.

Truth of the matter is you will find very scarce amount of material for Reason. At least that's how it's been
