LOL! Why on earth would you do that? You already got some of the best vocal software ever written for mankind. Obamas bodyguard was alien or something like that. You might also recognise that irritating Daniel voice that pops up on youtube all the time in those alien conspiracy videos i.e. I remember playing with it on an early PPC. This software dates way back into early macs. Among others you might recognise some of the early Aphex Twin "voices". If you want to export the speech as audio, just select whole text, right click and select Add to iTunes as a spoken track. Type some text, go to menu Edit and select Start Speaking. These do not require any extra downloads, which otherwise are several gigs and can be as slow as hell at times.Īnyway, once you enabled these voices, go to Launchpad and open Textedit (usually located in Others folder). Then enable the ones you see in the screenshot below. Click System Voice, scroll down and press customise. This is no longer available from Apple, but may be available on eBay, Amazon, etc.įrom Snow Leopard Server you can run Rosetta Apps (which in turn can still run PPC apps)įor spoken dialogue i relayed on various online softwares where you choose among many voices with different nationality/language.LOL! Why on earth would you do that? You already got some of the best vocal software ever written for mankind. (Regular Snow Leopard will not run - you need the Server Edition). One of the guests that is allowed is OSX Snow Leopard Server.

You can get Parallels Desktop for Mac, which is virtualization software that enables you to run guest operating systems on a Mac like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, etc. was that a PPC app, im not familiar with previous macs os history that much?Īlso, i am not big on vstis either, but seem to remember something like this could be done in Harmor. for spoken dialogue i relayed on various online softwares where you choose among many voices with different nationality/language. Wish we could run this on our current macs, i could really use something like this. but voices sound great too, especially the female singing "this is the sound." I truly recommend finding and old Mac and getting this. You can hear it here the talking voices were recorded straight out from just entering the words with Simple Text, but there are more vocal lines further down the line. I think a pre intel machine is needed, such as a G5. You could select among the different voices in the mac, and you could do some other things to alter the character of the voices as well. This could do absolutely fantastic electronic voices. Exporting the audio from Vocal Writer back into your other daw.



Not useful in any way of course but quite cute demos were bundled with the program just to show what could be done.īut the true power of it was exporting midi from your daw, importing it and then writing lyrics. It also was a kind of cheesy home keyboard type of "daw" and you could use the Quicktime instruments as well those are like a low class GM soundbank basically. The idea was to use the talking capabilities inherent in the operating system and mix those routines with midi. The guy (behind KAE Labs) who came up with this brilliant software sadly passed away shortly after porting it to MacOS X in 2005. VOCAL WRITER - IT'S ABOUT TIME TO TELL THIS STORY
