Today’s song is Nowhere by Maurice Chevalier featuring the Emvoice voicebank Keela

[howyoustudythestars]

I recently bought and started experimenting with Emvoice, an audio plugin that’s like text-to-speech, but it sings.  It also doesn’t sound robotic like other plugins.

I decided to try to create a fan-duet with Adam on his Owl City song Cinematic, this time using these alternate lyrics of the second verse of the song (sourced from the official video on Owl City’s YouTube channel):

There is another version floating out there on Reddit somewhere where my own terrible, not-warmed-up-at-all voice attempted to recreate the same thing, but I wanted to see what kind of quality I could get out of Emvoice.  A few things to note:

The Emvoice voice I’m using is Keela (default).

While I have the full song available, I’m only uploading this small section to try to appease the Tumblr copyright bots.

The “Yeah” is missing in that one part because I couldn’t get it to sound with the right rhythm, no matter how I tried to arrange it, whenever the “Yeah” was present.

The last part is down an octave because it didn’t sound natural with it up in that high register (or with the other part in a lower register).

The Cinematic instrumental was sourced from the YouTube channel Owl City Karaoke.

Uploaded under fair use rationale.

I hope you enjoy!  (And for my fellow ARG winners, I hope you’re as excited to unlock the studio door tomorrow morning as I am!)

as far as I know, Emvoice has no designs at all, seems like a good opportunity for marketing to make like a design contest or so lol, Keela sounds ok, from what i've heard/seen it doesn't seem like it's worth the price tag compared to synthV (and the ppl that have made originals aren't really in the same 'community'/crossed over with the other programs and a few "review" vids i've found seem to be "sponsored" lol)

yeahhhh the only real opinions i've seen abt emvoice are that it's not really worth it. and even if it's really good i don't think they'd have a lot of success since as we all know it's hard to enter the already existing vocal synth market with a professional product when as we know the community only ever cares about weeb shit

Owl City ft. Taylor Swift - Honey and the Bee (AI-Generated)

After Adam released his version of Taylor Swift's song Enchanted, but before his album All Things Bright and Beautiful came out, Adam Young of Owl City was interviewed by US Weekly about him and Taylor. When asked if he had contemplated emailing Swift again, Adam replied:

I was hoping to work with her on this new record. I had this great song that I was dying to have her voice in so I tried to get it on there but she was in Europe or Australia somewhere, very busy which I totally get having been on this wild roller coaster myself for the past two years. I can’t even imagine what she’s up against so it didn’t work out, but maybe the next record. It would be awesome to feature her on a song someday.

While it was never confirmed what song that could be, many believe the song in question was "Honey and the Bee", featuring long-time female vocalist and collaborator Breanne Düren. Unfortunately, that collab with Taylor Swift was never realized... until now!

By the power invested in me, by the power of So-VITS-SVC, I present to you a recreation of what could have been "Honey and the Bee"! Parts of the song fed into the AI were re-generated via Keela from Emvoice, but most of the audio fed into the AI was from Breanne's original performance, separated into an acapella using Demucs and hand separated from Adam's parts in Audacity. Further mixing was done in Logic Pro X. Credits go to @Filthycasual on the AI Hub Discord for the 101K Taylor Swift model used for this endeavor!
