So, this post was a banger.
Thank you all so much for that, I genuinely appreciate it. 🫶
However, there is something I’d like to add that’s kind of a misconception in the vocal synth community BUT still relates to the original post:
Mixing/mastering.
I’m feel that people reading this will have no idea what “mixing/mastering” even is, but basically, it’s like the icing on a cake; it binds everything together & makes it complete.
If you listen to some songs & their remastered versions, you’ll hear it! My favourite example is Way Deeper Down by The Stupendium.
Anyways, the relevance mixing/mastering has to the original post is because some people lump mixing Vocaloid songs with tuning them. Honestly, I thought that too! Sometimes I go back to thinking that, like in the original post I made.
So, I’d like to make a small correction:
It’s not just tuning that matches the instruments, but also the mixing/mastering (since that does tie everything together).
Another audio example here, but listen to how DECO*27 mixes needLe versus their cover of God-ish:
Obviously, mixing is perceptive, so when I say that DECO*27’s tuning style makes the vocals sound more bombastic (which fits with their instrumentation style), that’s just my opinion.
I mean, I thought that my IDSMILE cover was mixed well (it’s not). I get shudders listening to it (not really, but exaggeration feels necessary).
ANYWAYS, I’m very autistic & should probably stop talking about this subject before this post becomes way too long. Uhh thanks for reading, I guess??

had an idea for a barbershop quartet Hatsune Miku ballad.........
(lyrics below the cut!)
i have a voice
i’ll sing your tune
sing about the sun and stars and moon
but in the end
it’s up to you
i sing your song
and that’s all that i ever do
every note
is made by you
what’s a blue haired, pigtailed girl to do
in the end
i make no sound
oh the songs i’d sing if you were not around!
i sing your song
all night long
never wrong
but i just sing along…
the tune is done
and I’m a star
i feel so close and yet so very far
in the end
it’s up to you
i sing your song
and that’s all I ever do

To me the joy and beauty of vocal synthesizers has always been that they don't sound real and exploring that to create artistic expression that can't be achieved by human voices, so seeing them become more and more realistic is disheartening, almost? Especially since a lot of artists make the same voice banks sound so different and have their own personal charm. I'm glad that people will be able to make things that sound realistic, but I'm worried that songs that intentionally play out of sounding as realistic as possible will be sidelined, discouraged, no longer created, impossible to find, or unsupported by fans of vocal synthesizers. I don't want things to just push towards being as realistic as possible. There is beauty in how everyone's usage of the same voice banks sound different. There is beauty in the lack of realistic sounding vocals in vocal synthesizers.
