    Software Non-Vocal Synth Audio Software/Hardware Sale Thread

    STL Tones is offering 30% off on all products: https://www.stltones.com/ For those not familiar with STL Tones, they publish the STL Tonality guitar amp sim suites, which are probably tied with Neural DSP as the best VST amp sims currently on the market. I prefer the STL Tonality series because...

    What Was The First Manga You Ever Read?

    Highway Star by Katsuhiro Otomo. It's a collection of short stories, much like most of his pre-Akira works. When I bought it I didn't know a word of Japanese, so it took a few years before I could read the entire volume. Fortunately, some of the stories aren't particularly wordy, so even from...

    Original White Dwarf by rikurikuri

    Words and music for White Dwarf were made by rikurikuri. He's entirely self-taught and is still very much in a learning phase. This gives his music a certain uniqueness that you might find interesting. For the record, this is the fellow who kindly writes all the lyrics for my SynthV efforts...

    Online Creators YouTube Rewind 2019

    I haven't watched a single video nor a single "creator" featured in that rewind thingy. Perhaps I'm watching the wrong videos... ...or maybe the right videos.

    Resource Vocal Synth Voice Characteristics

    Some Renri info: Certain plosives are explosively plosive, especially when one moves into higher notes. Particularly nasty culprits are と and か, but you may find others. I recently managed to reduce this by manually changing the attack levels in Audacity using the envelope function. Audacity's...

    【Yamine Renri】街灯のサイレン【original/collaboration】→ SynthV

    Lyrics by りくりくり and music/video by me. The above song is my latest attempt at shoehorning 18th/19th common practice techniques into a metal context. Improvements were achieved by using the high-gain guitars as monophonic instruments. In other words, no chord playing here! Now that I've...

    Resource Vocal Synth Voice Characteristics

    The problematic resonance has nothing to do with noise, and therefore Z-noise won't remove/reduce it, regardless of settings. It's just a nasty quirk in the upper notes of 闇音レンリ's voice database.

    Resource Vocal Synth Voice Characteristics

    Cool. I had no idea there was an affordable noise reducer that didn't need a noise profile. Thanks for the heads up. Z-Noise certainly did an excellent job of kicking 闇音レンリ's high frequency nastiness out into the cold city streets where it belongs. (Although there still remains one resonant...

    I could've sworn that you once stated that you use FL Studio. If so, Edison can do noise removal, which is included in all bundles except the cheapest. If you have the cheapest FL Studio bundle, then Audacity can also do noise removal. For what it's worth, in my current project I'm removing the...

    SynthV The Ultimate Synthesizer V Phoneme Chart

    If you click the "category" header in the Phoneme Viewer, it will reorder the entries according to vowel and consonant types. Similarly, clicking the "examples" header will also reorder the entries. Clicking either a second time will invert the order.

    【Yamine Renri】異影の風【original/collaboration】→ SynthV

    Another month and another collaboration with りくりくり. Once again the music was written first and the lyrics written second. りくりくり claims that writing lyrics after-the-fact is not his area of expertise, however, I think he did a fantastic job for this project. This time the music is pop punk meets...

    Question How Do Lyricists and Melodists Collaborate?

    You can do it however you want. Verdi worked closely with his librettists, while Schubert set music to pre-existing poetry that was not necessarily written with music in mind. On the other hand, Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" is set to ballet music that was never intended to have...

    【Yamine Renri】魔性審理【original/collaboration】→ SynthV

    Lyrics by Rikurikuri → piapro(ピアプロ)|りくりくりさんのページ Music and video by me I'm a big fan of the common practice era, specifically the late-classical to mid-romantic periods. (Although I do think works became a bit too long during those years.) Furthermore, I recently learned that neoclassical metal...
