A while ago i picked up Vocaloid2 Sweet Ann and yesterday i decided to give it a spin.
One cool features is supposed to be the Vocaloid2 Realtime module which is quite handy but what ever you do with the realtime module cannot be rendered to audio. What a bummer, i thought i was on to something and wanted a snippet of the mix in Cubase with the Vocaloid2 Realtime thing. It turns out that the realtime module dosnt output anything when rendering even if you use realtime rendering.
Ohh well perhaps the rewire mode can be used to something then, and oops what a bummer. Having Cubase and Vocaloid2 setup for rewire mode made it impossible to record anything following a beat. I looks like the Vocaloid part is trying to compensate for voice intro and other stuff i dont know about yet.
Ok, how about i just used vocaloid2 and put in some hum and ohhs and THEN rendered that to a wav file. Ooops what a bummer, it turns out Sweet Ann comes out flat and out of pitch. Only way to get something useful of that was to have the rendered wav track run thru a harmonizer with lots of detuned voices as backup.
So is Vocaloid2 Sweet Ann worth it ? Are you kidding lol nopes unless you have way to much money on your hands. I do hope they will correct these bugs or what ever it is because as it is right now i could have more fun sampling a speaking doll.
IF i get something useful out of Sweet Ann i'll post it but that chance is pretty slim atm.
Ohh well, in all fairness here is a snippet where i'm making heavy use of harmonizer and delay effect because of the out of pitch voice:
