Vocal Synth covers of vintage songs

[DigitalVintageTunes]

I've been experimenting with making covers in SynthV of vintage songs from the 1920s and earlier, and these are what I've made so far:

This was a fun song to work on.

I love these! A while ago I kept talking about making vocal synth covers of songs like these, finally someone is making that a reality slkfj

I came across the Natalie voicebank a few weeks ago and was impressed after watching a few covers featuring her. She seems well-suited for many songs from the era I'm focusing on, especially standards like this one:

This week's cover is of a fun novelty song that's now 100 years old.

 

[DigitalVintageTunes]

This week's cover is of a 1919 song written by one of the most prolific songwriters of the Twentieth Century.

I wish the instrumental part could be louder! nice cover!

 

[DigitalVintageTunes]

Thanks. I'll definitely be working on the volume for the instrumental parts.

I remember the English prototype made for Miku had a sample song of ‘Let It Be’ by the Beatles (not sure if 60s/70s are actually vintage or retro) but it sure was interesting.

 

[DigitalVintageTunes]

That does sound pretty interesting.

“That does sound pretty interesting.”
Yes, especially considering that this prototype was never truly released. It’s like one of those private/deleted vocaloids that people hear about.

This week's cover features Natalie singing a classic 1926 standard.

This week's cover (and a good way to test out ASTERIAN) is of a song I recently came across that's great for spring.

Here's another Kevin cover which I luckily finished before SynthV's recent beta update was released.

"In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree"

Songwriters: Egbert Van Alstyne and Harry Williams
Voicebanks: Kevin (lead) Natalie and ASTERIAN (backup for final chorus)

This song came with a quartet arrangement which I included at the end and as a result, I realized how much fun they are, along with finding the right voicebank combos.

After getting Teto I decided to try her out with the first Japanese song I've covered so far, though I'll certainly try and find more at some point.

Kōjō no Tsuki (The Moon over the Ruined Castle)

Credits

Songwriters: Rentarō Taki (music) and Bansui Doi (lyrics)
Voicebanks: Kasane Teto (lead), Mai, Kevin, and ASTERIAN (backup vocals)

"Will You Remember"

Credits

Songwriters: Sigmund Romberg and Rida Johnson Young
Voicebanks: Natalie and ASTERIAN

The first duet song I've worked on so far, and it was fun to do.

"Play a Simple Melody"

Credits

Songwriter: Irving Berlin
Voicebank: SynthV Teto

Having two different melodies played at once made this a fun song to work on.

"Sweet Georgia Brown"

Songwriters: Ben Bernie, Maceo Pinkard, and Kenneth Casey
Voicebank: Natalie

Continuing Natalie's journey through standards.

"Plaisir D'Amour"

The oldest song I've covered so far, but still a fun one to work on.
