i used synthv for these one,Natalie.

Not perfect 101% (or maybe too perfect), but it's really incredible!

So if you have some experiences with these softwares please share your story!

I have no experience with Ace, but if all you want is vocals, I'd highly recommend Synthesizer V. Imo it doesn't *require* much manual tweaking to sound good (fine for electronic or pop music), but you can tweak several parameters if you want to improve the realism or get specifc. Mostly you'll need to adjust the timing or the phonemes, often having to get creative to get the pronunciation right. You will need to read the manual also imo.

Here are a couple songs I made where vocals are 100% Synthesizer v2:

The KVR link below has Synthesizer v2 including 3 decent voices for very low price, please note though I don't know the person selling, and can't vouch for them. Also, it's an account takeover, so not sure if that puts you off.

Ps, for some variation in voices you can use Synthesizer v to generate a vocal and then convert them by using the voices in the free version of Sonarworks VoiceAI. Or the free version of IKM resing, if it ever comes out.

The name of my experimental ambient group in the 90s was Sleeping.

As someone who has routinely worked with singers for several decades, Synthesizer V doesn’t really come close enough to real to be usable on its own for my needs, but it’s been a useful tool for creating demos/scratch tracks that I send to real singers to get ideas going. It’s been particularly useful for my collabs with a Ukrainian singer that I work with regularly, since her English is not great, so it helps her practice phrasing and pronunciation. However, Synth V can occasionally be very finicky when trying to get phrasing right and I’ve encountered a few situations where it will simply not pronounce words or phrases correctly or will pronounce them awkwardly (e.g., misplaced emphasis) no matter how deeply I tweak it, but it’s usable for demo purposes. I’ve looked into ACE Studio a few times, but I don’t need a bunch of different voices for my purposes and, for the cost, I would want it available on my local drive and in my DAW.

I've resorted to having to misspell words to get Synthesizer V to pronounce them correctly (like I had to use "liv" instead of "live" to get it not to pronounce it like Ableton Live), but usually I can get it right by directly inputting the phoneme. There's a list of them on their site and it's pretty useful. It's tricky to use sometimes, that's for sure.

Clearly great minds think alike I've used it since the 90s as well. Unfortunately back then, internet searches didn't capture everything. I did try various searches to avoid knowingly using an existing name. Ah, whaddayaganna do? Now there are several "Sleeping" names on bandcamp alone. Too dang many people making music!! (shakes fist at sky)

I can't even remember if I bothered to look it up. One of my collaborators thought of it, and we only played around the Syracuse NY area. Good times.
