Not sure this is the correct forum as Ace Studio is marginally a DAW and all about vocal synthesis (actually sample manipulation to mimic voices), but I have been messing around with it for a bit.
It's startling how effective it can be, but it has one major flaw that keeps me from using it. Actually, I don't love any of the voices i've tried, but...
The major flaw seems to be handling compound consonants at the end of a English word such as the "ltz" in "waltz". It allows you to enter the phonemes "l", "t", and "z", but it generally only renders the first. Or two if you're lucky as in "ts", but that's not a sure thing either.
I've tried about half a dozen voices and a couple are better than the others with this. But none are satisfactory in this regard.
The program is Asian in origin, and that's likely the issue when it comes to English. Most of the singers are from that part of the world. I don't know enough about Asian languages (a smattering of Mandarin) to say why, but until it can handle compound consonants, it's only marginally useful for English lyrics.
Let me know if I'm missing a trick, and what that might be. It's fascinating that the process is as good as it is regardless. I might try the custom voice but that requires payment. If they get back to me about my report, I might try that.
