Hi all,
Well, after experimentation and a bit of patience, I finally learned how
to make Vocaloid sing just about anything you wanted to. Note that
Vocaloid Editor 3 only provides the voices. To mix in instruments you
will need some kind of a sound editor. You will also need this if you
are to make choral pieces of some sort.
to begin, use a midi sequencer like QWS. Make sure the notes are
precisely timed with the metronome though, or else you will have to
normalise with Vocaloid.
Once you set up your MIDI roll, open Vocaloid and when you open a file,
choose Vocaloid MIDI from the drop down menu list. Locate the file and
press enter. A list of tracks will appear. Check only one and do not
bother with any of the others. Before adding lyrics, you will need to
press space to play, and when it tells you that there are overlapping
notes, go to the jobs menu and press enter on normalise.
Next, go to the edit menu, and find the select all. This will select all
the notes in the musical editor window, which is where you need to be or
else this will not work. Once you have done this, go back to the jobs
menu and find the insert lyrics item.
When an edit multi-line appears, you will see "oh ooh ooh" depending on
how many notes there are. Note that each ooh represents one syllable, so
if you had a word that had more than one you would have to separate them
using dashes. Vocaloid is pretty goo at analysing words though, and if
you want you can use phonemes if you are dealing with a tricky word
Vocaloid cannot pronounce or if you want to be really accurate.
Once you have finished, check the song to make sure you have the words
right. This may take time and I nearly gave up on it. After you
finished, save the VSQX to your hard drive, and then you can export the
result as a wave file.
From now on, you will have to repeat the above steps if you want to do
the same thing to the other tracks. Eventually you will want to
establish a suffix for each wave file you are working with so you can
mix them later.
Note: You must instead English-only voices or Spanish-only voices, else
his will not work if you install all the voices because it wile use the
Japanese Lily voice by default. You wile have to experiment with really
slow work-around, like installing and re-installing voices for each
track one at a time. It's a pain, but this is the best method that does
not require any other form.
Here is an attached copy of a song I put together based off my MIDI
collection.
