Ive made further updates. Mostly complete but lots of fine tuning required.
I would like any suggestions of improvements or errors.
I know that dryvox still needs sorting but I am making headway on this one.
June 21, 2014 at 5:37 pm #423158I would like any suggestions of improvements or errors.Here’s some vocal feedback:
Right now, you’re splitting words into separate syllables when the pitch changes (e.g., M40.1 “shi- ine”). The right way to do this is to use “+” on a slide: “shine +”.
Are you using scrub mode? Syllable timing is not right in a lot of places. Examples:
M33.1.62 “mist” ends here
M38.3.68 “of” ends here
M39.3.56 “lights” – too much “s” is included.
M43.4 “fine” should end here
M46.3 “eyes” should end here
See my tutorial video if you need help setting up scrub mode.
With rare exceptions, syllables should be at least 2/64 long, and at least a 2/64 gap between syllables.
Words in the middle of vocal phrases shouldn’t be capitalized unless they’re proper nouns: e.g., M39.4: “lights That shine”.
Words with multiple syllables need to be hyphenated: e.g., M41.3 “E lec tric it ty” should be “e- lec-tric- i- ty. Use http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/ for best results. See my tutorial video for an example of converting lyrics into syllables in a text file and then importing those lyrics to your syllable tubes.
Phrase markers should end on a 1/4 or 1/8 note boundary when possible, to make overdrive animations look better or something.
I’ve fixed up the first verse so you can compare. Here’s a MIDI of just part vocals:

You know, it was your video that got me started with all of this. It gave me the initial start to author all of this. As such I did follow the instructions, however when it came time to load the lyrics, it wouldnt do it, no matter how many times and ways that I tried, so I went and input all the lyrics manually.
Now that I have some other errors to work with, I shall get those sorted and check through the rest of the song for similar issues.
