Tried now IRCAM Lab during several hours with one instrumental playback of my songs. You can do really weird or even nasty things with this program. The possibility to record live done changes in a song will certainly inspire some remixers. Could create quite new songs just playing with the program.
Next I'll see the quality on a single voice so I can compare it to a voice transposed in Melodyne.
But the first impression today was very good!
Hello gollolux,
Here are some tips from the IRCAM team so you can get the most out of it.
You can adjust the Settings depending on your material. In the Settings panel (the little engine icon), you can setup a Quality level : in general med-high will improve the transposition for multi-channel materials and high will activate an improved algorithm for the transient-sinus-noise remix section.
The Source settings is very important : the single voice presets are made for voice and will activate a shape preservation algorithm specially suited for them. Choose the monophonic modes whenever does not have multiple instruments, it may be also be best suited for Drums.
But nothing is made in stone, switch between the different ones to find the one that best match for you your material, realistically or esthetically.
Another important parameter is the Max F0 (Maximum Fundamental frequency in Hertz) one, wich is modified by the Source but can also be adjusted after by hand. It will have an important impact on the transposition of your material. The different settings show you the F0 range expected by the engine.
Better, realistic result expect a consistent F0 but play with it if you want also to affect the transformation in different ways.
Also test the remix section part, IrcamLab TS can be used as a precise transient designer.
Have Fun,
The IRCAMLab dev team.
And
Best Regards,
Nick
