Final sad verdict: No CSUN.

Final sad verdict: No CSUN. I caught Jess' head cold, my creakiness slider is still at 100 on top of a cinus headache and general aches. The only silver lining in this is that I'm forced to take a coding break as I don't even have the mental energy to think through problems with a clear mind, kind of am in that fog-space colds can give. But to spread it across to others, or catch someting on top of this is not the responsible move either.

@danestange ok. I think you have the new tuning, but I'll be honest with you: Maybe it didn't push it far enough into "More American" territory. I wanted to not break people's phonemes so I kind of went conservative. I just tuned the US thought vowel (think words like four) so that should sound less like he's saying it with mouth open, more like "faorce" if you know what I mean. I do hear some of these things, but probably it'll be vowel-by-vowel, we need to identify parts of the word that's giving us that Scottishness or over-fronting. Would love to chill on there! Let me know when y'all are on and I'll come around.

@Tamasg It's scottishness is entirely there when saying words like boo, yoo, new, you. My wonder if the o and u are more forced? It's more the general accent itself sounds like a british person speaking american. Imagine if a minnesotan and a scot met? I'm not very good at explaining it. I'd imagine tuning from a US based formant synth would fix it, but it'd also change it quitely. The a in case or even an alone is also very scotish. I'm sure you get the idea. I think spacepup had a fixy for it at one point but idk. These are things I should experiment with, though idk how the phoneme editor works and I don't use windows enough unfortunately to have sat down and played with it yet as I use speechbox as a main though on my mac and phone which are my main devices, iPhone.

@danestange yeah! that uppern midwesternness. It was a lot more present on no and go but has since gotten better. I'll probably push out a single build today with some more of that tuning. Good to know you're on Mac! I plan to bring the entire phoneme editor process to there, on the editor tab, right now you can only change pack settings there, but it's going to turn into basically the same feature set as the Windows one or close to it. Just a lot of refactoring work, perhaps if I get recovered enough by end of week I'll start sketching more of that in.
