That’s actually what makes this thread interesting... while I also don’t think I’ll see this available as a consumer level priced tool in my lifetime, I do think it’s just a matter of time before it does exist.wagtunes wrote:Quite possibly, yes. Like I said, it's doubtful I will see this in my lifetime, but one can still hope. I'm sure in 1968 (50 years ago) nobody imagined some of the technology we have today.vurt wrote:im not saying we wont have an acceptable sounding human voice from a computer.
im saying one without any distinguishing artefacts from a real singing voice, is not only going to take the technology but also a damn skilled operator to keep the whole thing fluid, don't forget for this to work you have to somehow automate all those variables, in time with the words you are saying.
and also that said technology when available wont be hitting the streets for a grand, maybe down the line but initially that's going to be, as you've referenced rurassic park, a top end movie sound design tool, for a long while before it becomes consumer level.
And when it does exist, this thread if it still exists or is accessible will be very entertaining to read.
Look at what gets done with orchestral libraries and likewise it takes lots of effort to make them not sound programmed on a computer and even then most musicians can still tell the difference.
