And talking of a terrifying future…
Another one of those future predictions has always been a robot replacing the human voice (and we’re not getting drawn into the argument that Auto-Tune has effectively already done this). One company a step ahead in this is Emvoice, whose One app uses a cloud-based system to create a vocal of any words using a granular system. “What you’re hearing is a real singer’s voice interpreting your own words,” they say. They’ve just added another ‘vocalist’, Thomas, whose EDM vocoder style voice joins Jay and Lucy in the One lineup. We blame Daft Punk for everything.
