Luckily, you can correct the phonemes manually, and even expand the vocabulary so that “new” words are stored for subsequent use, but this can be quite time-consuming. The vocabulary (not sure if it comes with Vocaloid or with Avanna) is pretty limited, which means many words just come out as “U” (sounds like you) which is the default when Vocaloid doesn’t know what phonemes to use for a word. Like most Vocaloid singers, the phonemes are not very articulated, so the overall singing impression is of someone mumbling, nosing, or sometimes even lisping (the S sounds a bit that way). Recommended key range is D2 to G4 but the lower octave sounds much better, and everything above C4 sounds somewhat sharp. For any serious work, you have to buy Avanna + Vocaloid (4 or 4/Cubase), which sums up to roughly €150.Īvanna is an Irish singer with a thin, even voice.
#Vocaloid 4 cubase trial
Avanna comes with a trial version of Vocaloid 3, which is good enough for testing but you can only record 8 measures. A note of warning, it doesn’t work with 4k monitors (it “shrinks” my Cubase main window to become unusable), so set your monitor to 2k resolution (e.g., 1920×1280).
Recently, I decided to give Vocaloid a try, so I purchased Avanna, a Vocaloid singer.Īvanna is a Vocaloid singer which works with Vocaloid 3, 4, and Vocaloid 4 for Cubase.
