Hi,
I am far from an expert on DEC-Talk singing, but I had little problem
with adding background music to two separate voices. I took a text
file done by Jayson and converted it to wave with the demo. I then
changed th voice to a female and repeated the process with a
different wave filename. I loaded both files into Sound Forge and
mixed them, one on each channel. I saved the mixed parts as another
wave file. Finally, I recorded MIDI background music and mixed it
with the master singing wave file. It was slightly out of sync with
the music but I fixed that by using the time stretch feature. By
adjusting the singing a little here and there, I got it to match
reasonably well. I won't say that it's perfect but I was
impressed. If you aren't doing background music, I would think the
best bet is to record two individual voice parts as separate files
and mix them via something like Sound Forge. I think also that if
you want background music, go for it. It really isn't that hard to
do, at least I didn't think so. Again, I didn't create the original
text file and I am far from an expert. I don't know how to do the
phonemes and all of that anyway. I can read the manual to learn and
I probably will one of these days.
