I've been seeing a lot of people online comparing us #VocalSynth producers to people who use #GenerativeAI platforms like #Suno. Programs like #Vocaloid and #SynthV require you to manually write in notes, pitch curves, and everything that makes a vocal performence sound good by hand. We don't type text prompts and hit generate to have it spit out recycled content. That comparison is harmful and insulting to those of us who put in time and effort into our craft. Knock it off. #Music

@dangero well I'd never compare it, but lemme tell you it can take just as much effort, to properly write a prompt, to get it to do the ridiculous music you want it to. I'd love to see, someone program a vocal synth to do the stuff I've done in suno. I really would. and I'M being 100 percent serious. FOr one, I don't ask for lyrics, I ask for vocal slices a lot of the time, or nonlyrics, sylables in languages that arne't English, simply to hear the voice used as an instrument
