The V2 voices have a habit of adding a huge ‘slide’ (Glissando?) at the end of some notes by default as per the image below:
Much more so than V1 voices ever did. I can of course manually edit them with the pencil, but I wonder if I’m going about it the wrong way.
Can anyone advise me on how they cope with this ‘feature’ in a musical way?
Hi there, You can either :
hope this help.
Many thanks for the tip - I’ve been playing around with the pitch control, and I think that is more ‘musical’ than simply drawing a new line - but I’ll test out that AI re-take as well to see if that helps.
Curious, did you ever find a solution for this in V2?
I’m getting these ‘swoops’ using the Choir #3 bank (imported midi file) at the beginning of each phrase, between each note, and at the end of each phrase and it’s particularly annoying because fixing it manually is going to take a solid day of drawing thousands of edits. Nothing I’m trying is getting rid of it, from the ‘VOICE’ panel to the ‘NOTES’ panel, ‘Rigid’ or ‘Raw’, ‘Consonant Strength/Duration’ or whatever other setting I tinker with. The effect sounds like ye ol’ schoolyard ‘cowboys-and-injuns-hand-over-the-mouth’ whooping and is totally unacceptable even for a client WiP.
No - I’ve simply given up on V2 voices other than for BGVs. Fixing the roll off at the end of the notes is just too much work against the benefits of using V2 voices.
I’m astounded that no-one else seems to find this to be a problem.
For my experience it’s totally unusable even after trying to justify it being that I have no physical choir to hand out sheet music to. It sounds like cowboys-and-indians war-whoops like we used to play modulating our hands over our mouths: garbage, and I’m NOT doing 1000’s of edits over a 5-minute piece to ‘fix’ it. That’s just my initial complaint; the voice quality ain’t nothing to write home about. Another user suggested Cantai, so I’ll dig into the trial and see if it’s any better. Dreamtonics is just a big disappointment and I hope other serious composers don’t get caught.
I can understand your issue, especially using multiple voices. As I say, I use V1 voices for lead, but I only use V2 for BGVs to give a little variation to the sounds. But even then, when it is the odd refrain or ‘Ooh/Aah’ the slope off is a huge PITA.
Shame really - the software is very powerful, and I’ve come to rely on it for a couple of years now, but the V2 voices … a huge let down.
I‘ve already noticed this several times, but not every time. Always at the end of a phrase, and particularly on female voices, if I remember well. It’s very annoying.
I can’t believe Dreamtonics never noticed this. Leaving bugs unfixed and letting users find workarounds is not acceptable at all, especially at such a price tag.
I emailed Dreamtonics support a while ago. It’s a shame they never bothered to reply…
