Nope, I used the right word, since the vocals are tuned already (vibrato, pitchbends, etc). It's just not mixed so it sounds uninteresting (compression, reverb, filters, etc)
On one hand, yes, mixing would not fix flatness (I think you're looking for a different word). On the other hand, yes, this does need mixing. Effects (like echo and reverb) and filters along with things like volume editing to blend the track and the vocals better and making the vocals stand out. Yes, tuning can do some of this, but mixing well is also necessary. (Something I myself am pretty damn terrible at)
***** Mixing is not just placing the track on top of the instrumentals, you have to work them so that they blend together so that they sound good and part of the music instead of sounding like the voice is "on top of the music", completely disconnected and boring. And this is tuned, because it has vibrato, it has pitchbends, it has dynamic changes, etc. Tuning in the context of vocaloid is just changing the vocal parameters so that it matches how a real singer would sing (or sometimes just other instruments depending on the tuning style the artist wants to go with). It can be a jpn vsqx with english added on top but the pitchbends and all that is still there, so it still has some degree of tuning. The thing is, you could have a very well tuned vocal track in vocaloid, but if you just render it and paste that over the music track and be done with it, it's going to sound bad and uninteresting (which is what I meant with flat, not that the voice didn't have vibrato). That's why you equalize, compress, add reverb and other cool filters to make the voice sound in context as well as make it interesting. In this song for example there's heavier use of reverb during the chorus which gives it an "oomph" effect to the singing. Without it, it just sounds boring and not as good, or even makes it sound like she isn't shouting at all. In other songs people add different filters (such as megaphone-like sound, or an old radio-like sound, or delays, or robotic-like sounds) to give a different feeling to the vocals at some parts or even the entire song, which makes it sound more interesting and sets the mood of the song. Anyways, that's what I meant with my comment, enjoy my wall of text :P
Luke Killerman I'm sorry but that's beside the point. That it wasn't retuned for cyva does not make the vsqx untuned and I wasn't even talking about that anyway.
Nice! She sounds pretty awesome! :D
This sounds great! GJ :3
Cyber Diva is so awesome ❤
you know its become common fact that a vocaloid isn't a vocaloid till its sung this song lol
hermoso
You could have mixed her voice, she just sounds flat and distant unmixed :/
