One of the things I´m interested on is the topic of generative vocals, the reason for that is because in the music field of generative composition I've never achieved anything remarkable (all I rendered sounded too random and useless to me) ... not that is not possible I probably did not invest enough time, but do you know you can actually add vocals to music tracks with such a realistic quality that it can almost be called "production ready"? Not only that, you can add lyrics and use any language as long as the trained cloned voice match the language (otherwise pronunciation sounds bad).
I hope it's ok to post that there, I don't aim to make publicity or anything, I just want to know if anyone has idea of vocals created with such a software can be licensed as creative commons provided that the used vocals are open.
The EULA says "Except as otherwise specified, you may use the synthesized sound generated by using this product, whether commercial or non-commercial, free of charge." https://www.ah-soft.com/synth-v/eula_e.html
This makes me wonder, is it possible to license a song as OGA or creative commons using the free voices?
* Update 2: I finally have an answer that seems correct to me:
what about license CC BY-NC which states that Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted? can a work rendered with SynthesizerV be licenses as CC BY-NC or is there anything in the EULA that prevents it? if not, which creative commons license fit with the EULA if any? Someone answered me the following: "IANAL, but it looks like either BY-NC or BY-NC-SA will work, assuming you are complying with the EULA yourself by correctly attributing the Lite voice."
According to what chatGPT answered you can the combine that license like this:
If the music is under CC BY-NC-SA, the same conditions apply. The resultant work remains CC BY-NC-SA.
If the music is under CC BY-NC-ND, you can still mix it, but the resulting work must be licensed under CC BY-NC-ND, which restricts derivative works.
If the music is under CC BY (Attribution), you cannot legally mix it with CC BY-NC-SA vocals for a resultant work without breaching the non-commercial clause, unless you adhere to the non-commercial aspect of the CC BY-NC-SA license.
If the music is under a proprietary or commercial license, you would need explicit permission from the copyright holder to combine it with the CC BY-NC-SA vocals.
CC BY-NC is not listed and not wanted here, so no need to discuss wether the use of such software for submitted music is wanted here: it is not and I understand perfectly why, I'm not complaining.
Even if it is completely legal, is not my intention to submit anything that makes use of A.I. if it is not wanted for any reason including the legal uncertain it brings about as it is a new frontier and laws are still to be made about it (I'm not a lawyer and I see it only from a creative standpoint and I don't intend to replace my workflow with it.
I'll be glad to read your opinion in this regards and I'm also opened to know what you think of using such software to incorporate it in a creative workflow, even if it is negative or you have anything to say about this I'll be glad to know.
It looks very dark because it is night at the volcano (there is a day-night color algorithm that changes the brightnes and colors of the stage so it never look the same).
hi, I almost forgot about this because it was the first asset I submited here 2 years ago. I double ckecked and as medicinestorm said the files are there, use gimp or any software that supports it and it loads.
I did not used png because some of the tiles have layers so that anyone can modify the layers as they will.

To give more details just in case anyone has more idea than I, the software with which I had more progress is called Synthesizer V from a company called dreamtonics: https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/, https://svdocs.dreamtonics.com/en/home, they also have a forum here:https://forum.dreamtonics.com/c/synthesizer-v-studio/5

* Update:
I found this f.a.q. which clarifies a few aspects of the license but no single word about the non commercial use of the software, in other words: there are only restrictions for the commercial use of it: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/faq-what-is-synthesizerv.136072/

beautiful arpegios and chords.
corrected, thank you!
thank you!, I love reading that.
Thank you, I couldn't find it! :)
I love them, used on my platform game "Spinny the runner": https://libregamewiki.org/Spinny_the_runner:_mechanical_menace

Thanks for the advice oofoe: done! I added png and psd files to the assets.
The more options there are the better.
by the way I've just realized the license was wrong, gpl is not for art, I've just changed it... better late than never...
