theres two artists i keep wanting to cover with a vocaloid but their vocals are just so....unique and human i just dont feel like i could ever be satisfied making a vocaloid sing it lol. like its something special that just cannot be recaptured... but i love the artists and wanna cover them just cuzz i like them
thinking about how the gynoid twitter is like...basically dead. not really counting the repeat tweets. so far nothing else has really come up as far as ive seen so i hope its not a bad sign for the company as a whole but, its hard to tell what they may be up to at this point due to next to no news, not even regarding the flower cevio thing...
already said it yesterday but another happy birthday to flower
would not be here loving vocaloid the way i do right now if i hadnt stumbled across her years ago.
posted it yesterday but did a little cover to celebrate~ Morry's Illusion's Vocaloid/Utau/etc Covers!
man. i was 16 when i recorded my utau, it just hit lol..... its 5 years since i released it (recorded at 16, got it out at 17). while im slowly working on new voicebanks, i also plan to start testosterone in the future and now im like. hm. maybe i should wait to record a new bank? or get a pre-T bank done? i did not think about how my voice might change and now im conflicted kdjhgkhgf
i remember quite a long time ago when i was actively making my utau stuff someone said i sounded like a soft flower and that made me so happy. still think about that.... i dont think i sound just like flower really general voice vibe? i guess?
aaaa i hate it when i export a vsq file in v4, start mixing in my DAW and the whole time something feels "off" only for me to realize by the end of mixing its that the vsq maker put a compressor on the vocals in v4 with a plugin AND changed all the volume for the main tracks/master track. idk if its just me but i never ever use eq/compression IN the editor and i never change the volume?? it seems pointless to do when you do that in a DAW when mixing, and i feel like it skews the end results. i never check because i assume people done use it lol
listening to kafu is like going through stages of grief every time. ill start hearing a good demo (bc yeah, the demo songs are good, theyre by good artists!) and think to myself "huh, kinda like it" and then "the voice is unique, i really would like to own a voice like that" then "but those quality issues... and the fact it couldve sounded different...." and finally "there was so much potential here for a good voice and it was lost in messy production... i cant waste my money on something that will never be what i wouldve hoped it would"
yes yes one of those impulse cover nights where i hear a well tuned vsqx, download it, edit it, and mix it all in 30 minutes while my eyes ache from staring t my screen without blinking for so long in the middle of the night
sometime i go through my own covers n i feel like my improvement is random/sporadic but honestly i think its just that i purely churn out covers w out spending time on them sometimes-- not in a "oh this sucks i made this too fast" kind way. but i think i (used to) make so many covers without spending lots of time on every bit bc i purely like hearing the result. idk maybe its my autism brain and attachment but i like the tech and i just like hearing robots sing, and doing it myself makes me so happy even if i dont tune things at all. so sometimes ill be pumping out covers bc the Dopamine is just coming in loads every time i hit play in the vocaloid editor and whip up a quick mix in fl studio
very confused by a kid whos come into my twitter inbox asking for.... my Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog utaus and will trade an 'unreleased vocaloid' for them. first of all. how are my Sonic utaus worth it enough to apparently leak an unreleased vocaloid?????? you can literally make these jinriki utaus yourself. like. what. they were quick to drop that is was Vivi probably in attempt to make me more interested but what use would i have for an illegal, unlicensed vocaloid anyways?? cant use it thats for sure.
and ive seen people like... remake "cancelled" or "fake" vocaloids anyways (using the dev tools or other means), i know i heard some ppl doing that with vivi, stella, etc and making your own box art doesnt...prove anything... even 'demos' that also sound nothing like the 2018 demos lol. i am just. intrigued by the lengths to ancquire fuckin hedgehog jinrikis
spitfire audio does have the free Labs instruments which are great, but they also have some very cheap single instruments too with more flexibility (around $29) and i decided to get one of the piano ones since ive really been lacking a high quality piano vst but dont wanna dump $100+ on one. and man it is so nice. very glad spirtfire produces such high quality stuff and has some cheaper options aside from free bc the Labs dont have a lotta things you can do with it, as much as i like them!
man i really didnt realize how long its been since Flower v3 came out, i remember seeing the boxes widely available for some time....really shouldve bought her back then.... really want her v3 for the sake of completing my flower collection but it looks like i will have to go hunting or begging to find any v3 box now
waking up to like 15 notifications on my post last night i was like "oh god did i say something bad" but nah theyre all likes. thanks yall lol
dont mind me more rambling thinking about the vocamerica email
vocamerica is one of those things i think just is a clear project based around what people so badly want, without hiring the right kind of team to handle is scope. yeah, commission artist and animators thats obvious enough to do. but in any other case how do you manage a *concert*? this isnt just about getting to the place and throwing up your projector. its everything that comes with hosting a series of shows... there is so much to it i feel vocamerican scrambled to do every time. how do you know what you really need, manage that money, and then make it happen? there are many things i dont think people consider enough in kickstarting stuff. get someone to manage the finances or some shit, for real. get someone who can properly figure out the places that money will go. unless you literally went to school for finances or have a good understand of the math that comes with it- its really not a surprise when so many kickstarters spend money in the wrong place/dont have enough/etc.
its kind of a wider statement to put against lots of failed kickstarters tbh and not just vocamerica... but w vocamerica it makes me think of many other fandom projects ive seen with vocaloid. people so passionate to do something but literally lack all experience to do it and not in a 'they want art but cant draw' kind of way- just everything. but they do it anyways. i think in fandom context its easy to know you need art n shit to make it look nice for fandom presentation. but all the other technical stuff needs to be considered too- in vocamerica's case its management and experience with concerts, having a solid timeline and backups for when things go wrong.
in the end vocamerica was a failure imo. yes, they got some concerts done, they made some models. but 5 years of not getting the other models done? they barely got around the country for me to see it myself after (my dad) backing it, even with numerous shows they manged to have for a bit there. the fact i felt like it was obvious aki was putting money into the wrong things when announced, not focusing on what mattered, and making new plans that obviously impacted what they had remaining... overall poor management, someone who did not have the expirience to plan something as big as it. it totally couldve worked with the right people and right plan, but in this case it just did not.
im constantly forgetting i have a cover i could finish and post right now if i did the art and posted the video but im being very forgetful about it;; and i wanna start the flower cover for her anniversary too but again, forgetful. but its more like, im definitely more occupied with non-cover things im enjoying right now. i do like making cover still but it may be time to accept i dont need to meet deadlines like 'anniversaries' when i dont feel like it. or getting out covers immediately after i finish mixing them...
i went to like a post and the site brought up the prompt 'confirm that you want to like this post?" and im. so confused ive never seen that before when i liked a post;;;;
i often hope its not weird or annoying that 99% i only pop into the music release category to dump flower songs lol
you know its a good morning when u wake up to various new flower songs. absolutely in love w the music video for 柊キライ's new song
theres also a new FLG4 song coming out tomorrow at 3AM!
thinking about v4 and v5, i am so glad the rendering is faster in v5 now, bc honestly how slow rendering was every time i made one small change was so awful, it was the one thing making me not use v5.... it can still be slow from time to time, but since they put out that update to improve it i definitely am thankful and use v5 way more since then.
i used to do like, all possible editting in v4 and then render out in v5 for one or two additions v5 had! but now i can do most editting in v5. i do like editing parameters in v4 more tho because of the tools, was never a fan of the node/points in v5, probably the only thing (to clarify i like the idea of the points and how to use them, but it would be nice to switch between that and the very smooth lines/no points as an option easily) -
