Adjusting phonemes


Once all the phonemes have been recorded, you can play the sample tune.

Some phonemes will almost certainly not be what you expected, and will need adjustment.

How to find a bad phoneme

  • Double-click the singer in the Virtual Singer palette
  • Click "Edit voice"
  • Select the "Advanced" thumb index, and click "Edit fragments"
  • Type in the word that is mispronounced in the "Text" field, and click try.
  • The list of phonemes that constitutes this word is displayed. Locate the one that needs adjustment and select it in the list on the left.

Adjusting a phoneme


Several problems can make a phoneme sound wrong.

If the phoneme timbre (tone or sound) does not match the expected result, we recommend that you record it again, by selecting the phoneme in the list on the left, then clicking Record.

If the problem comes from the phoneme power (volume), i.e. the phoneme is ttoo soft or too loud in the sample word, there is no need to record it again. You can adjust the starting and ending power using the Vst (volume start) and VMa (volume maximum) sliders on the left of the phoneme spectrum display.

Other adjustments can also be performed, but they require a deeper knowledge of the internal operation of RealSinger.  Therefore, they are reserved to experienced users:

Two sliders control the coarticulation time:
Dtd is the transition duration from the previous phoneme
Dtf is the transition duration to the next phoneme
