[Mabinogi] Diva Songs - Voices can be Well-Made Too!

• Kenero wrote on 2013-06-01 06:33
  With the beginning of Diva, voices has been given a bad rap. Especially with some people not liking how it sounds. Well, we do agree that since day 1 of release, knowledge on how to manipulate voice ranges are pretty difficult, however we felt that it isn't good to judge voices on how it will sound without giving it a chance on how it works.
  
  So after receiving some information and experimenting with some songs, we are looking into voices. This thread will show examples on how the KR Test Team were able to manipulate voices to make some beautiful songs. We will keep posting this thread some examples.
  
  Please share your opinion on the videos and let us know what you think!

  This makes me want singing now. I thought at first it wasn't that great. But, man that sounded so pretty.

  Kenero's song really worked well with cello and phantom voice. I'm pretty excited about this update too and figured out how the voices worked last night. Still waiting for my videos to upload for more examples to share.

  Why is it so quiet? I turned it up and the Tara bell from mabi in the background nearly gave me a heart attack.
  
  Edit: First video.

  Voices are a bit soft even at volume 15. So we had to bring down the instrument sounds for some of the songs.

  I see. Has anyone tried the piano, or is it too difficult to acquire?

  Yes, I suppose we should have males singing too, no? =)

  The male singing is pretty funny though. I guess it is because of the deep voices of the Korean males...
  Unfortunately I don't have a male bard character so I can't really test out how to make music work with male character.
