    My internet has been out for about five days now? I think it’s Day Five? And I used up my limited hotspot data, so this has been Fun. I’m gonna get my modem switched tomorrow (/later today) and then I have someone coming on Wednesday to look into it if that doesn’t do the trick. Wish me luck. I wanna have on-call dates with my girlfriend again. 😭

    hope it gets fixed soon, peaches!! especially for the on-call dates :kizakiairi_lili:
    if it can help a little, you can save a lot of data if you browse on phone using Opera Mini and enabling the "extreme mode" (I think is called that), which saves up to 80% of data, so you can use that data for more important thing:midorizakikasumi_lili:

    If there exists a Most Improved Synth award, my nominee is CeVIO AI, hands down. I don’t think I’ve ever done such a 180 on any synth, especially in a span of under two years. At launch, I thought it was laughable, poor-quality, and needed another several years of development. Now it’s among my favorite editors to work with and houses a disproportionately large catalogue of my favorite AI vocals, a catalogue that continues to grow.

    God bless CeVIO AI. Honestly, just… God bless. 😭

    This is why I'm happy because I remember back in the time when Sasara came in with her standard bank and was very impressive... And I'm happy cevio knows a second bloom, and what I like is how the AI can sound nice (then you may have the issue of some AI-based synths sounding somehow the same because of voicetypes or the way they were trained, as well as quality differences between different products) and the fact that it permitted to bring back Tsuzumi and possibly Takahashi on the new engine, even granting them singing voicebanks ; at the point I'm even wishing they'd bring back the Colors with AI because it'd benefit very well to Yuudai, Yamato and Koharu, so yeah I'm very thankful for them 😭

    The good news: I got all of the recordings gathered for a CV Kurita Maron bank!

    The bad news: The combined efforts of a GF who's an Utau genius and thirteen years' worth of internet wisdom has done nothing, because I have absolutely no idea how to oto, no matter what I do, read, or try.

    Help.

    Y’know what’s an amazing feeling? Remembering a super obscure Vocaloid song by a popular producer that you adored as a teenager, remembering how upset you once were that you couldn’t bring attention to it because it was never officially released outside of a single album early in his career… and realizing that, with the advancement of technology, you now, as an adult, can cover it and give it at least some new life ten years later.

    CosMo you bastard you’re making me do all the work, that song deserves better and I’m gonna GIVE it better!

    I don't care if he's a joke character, my heart now belongs to Kurita Maron and I'm GOING to make a jinriki with him, mark my WORDS. 😭

    It's okay Twillby! I'm always jumpy about these kinds of characters at first because I'm just so used to their abuse in media. But it's helped me to be able to step back and look at the bigger picture because at times there are actually good opportunities for good things.

    Honestly, what gets me the most is how Shigetaka Kurita handled it in general. You could kinda tell it wasn't his first choice of character design and that he preferred the samurai hakka or chestnut version made by an entrant from India. But the cute design won and he embraced it.

    Cute clothes make Maron powerful :sweetann_ani_lili:

    Lately I’ve been following the hippos at the Cincinnati Zoo. It just tonight occurred to me that not many others find hippos as cheek-pinchingly adorable as I do; I flagged my coworker and manager down and told them to prepare themselves for the cutest thing they’ll ever see, showed them a picture… and they didn’t even smile. I was devastated. HOW YOU NOT SIMP OVER A FAMILY OF HIPPOS. THEY’VE GOT A BABY AND EVERYTHING. I EVEN SHARE A BIRTHDAY WITH THE DADDY HIPPO, C’MON. 😭

    This isn’t what I showed them, but I have no luck linking FB posts here half the time, so have something equally cute from the same bloat~

    i'm very very very happyyyyy for you, peaches!!!! :seeu_lili: :meiko_ani_lili:
    getting the white belt is such an important moment, it marks the beginning of a wonderful journey, and that white belt will be always yours:miku_lili:
    the white belt also appears (at least in judo, sorry i don't know about kung-fu..) at the top of belt ranking, the 2nd top one is actually a white-red belt :mikiv4_ani_lili:

    Yay!! That's great!!

    When I was in elementary/middle school, a lot of my friends did taekwondo, and I had one friend that did judo. Also knew some fencers (not really a martial art, but the clubs happened at the same time.) Everyone enjoyed it a lot.

    I always thought kendo was cool from seeing pictures on the internet, (to my untrained eye, I was like, woah, it's like less french fencing) but I was already in too deep on the cultural sport of my mom's family's diaspora... irish dancing (it is so much more intense than it sounds LOL) so I never tried martial arts.

    Your experience brought back those memories and reminded me that I could still try it someday if I wanted.

    I hope you have a ton of fun and learn a lot!
    peaches2217
    Ya girlboy's officially a martial artist in training! Today's class was so much fun. I learned a lot, and both the instructors and the students were so friendly and eager to see me learn. My hands and arms are still shaking - the headmaster assured me that's normal, because my limbs still aren't used to the shock of impact from punching and kicking targets, but it doesn't even hurt, it's just strange. At the end of class, I was asked if I had any questions, and the first thing out of my mouth was "Where do I sign up for more?"

    The next class is Monday night. I'm nervous, but also excited! Everything just felt so right. The vibes were immaculate. It's a dream come true. I'm a happy peach!

    Also, there was a TV that had been left running for any children in the building (as the academy's classes meet at a local gym); at one point SpongeBob came on, and literally EVERYONE stopped to see what episode it was. I think that's the point where I was like "Oh yeah, this is home."

    yeeeeee that's sooo nice to hear, peaches!! :lapis_ani_lili::mikiv4_ani_lili:
    i can imagine your excitement for all of this, and it brings me back so many nice memories from my judo training! and yes, a new member is so nice for both the students and instructors, because there is always a chance to learn more and more from anybody:ryuuto_ani_lili:
    and as I said before in the other message, i'm not familiar with kung-fu training so i don't know if and when you'll learn about the tatami floor: for some people it can be scary to "fall" to the ground, but tatami floor is perfect to take any kind of body impact and it doesn't hurt. as I said to younger students when I helped my instructor, the tatami is your best friend (and in case of judo, ground "battle" is the most fun part). there are some exercises to practice, and little by little you'll learn everything ^-^
    you're so great, peaches!! :meiko_ani_lili:

    This will be my fifth year as a vocalsynth user! To celebrate, I wanna go back to some of my older covers and remaster them, both in tuning and in mixing. So I'd like to ask here: anyone have any requests? All covers I've posted from 2021 and earlier are fair game! Because I need help narrowing it down, heh 👉👈

    The trick is trying to find all the old files... I know all the ones from 2018 are gone, and most from 2019-2020 will likely be gone as well. So I'll probably be doing a lot of rebuilding VSQs from scratch, which, let's be real, is probably for the better.

    My very first cover I'd love to post on its actual 5th anniversary! I can do SO much better now, I know it.

    Accountability is something I struggle with a lot, so I’m doing something scary, but exciting: Saturday, I’m attending a class at a local martial arts academy! They offer a free trial class, so I have no idea what to expect, but I figure there’s no harm in trying.

    They have several different areas of study, and I’m not sure whether they teach them all in one roundabout kinda way or if you get to choose. Either way, I look forward to finding out and seeing if it’s right for me!

    Them, probably: “So why are you interested in our academy specifically?”

    Me, desperately trying to avoid admitting that I’m a Kung Fu Panda fanatic and theirs is the only academy in town that offers kung fu: 😳

    i'm so happy for your choice, peaches!!:seeu_lili:
    I did judo for about 12 years (till about 17 years old) with brown belt, and the most interesting thing about any kind of martial art is that it changes you from the inside.
    i'm not familiar with kung fu, but I had some friends who did karate and jujitsu, but they all have in common the respect for yourself and the person in front of you.
    i'm sure you'll enjoy that lesson, peaches! (*^▽^*)

    Aaaaaaaaaaaah Flower sounds so GOOD on the CeVIO engine!! I always liked her tone but couldn’t get past her… I dunno, noise? on Vocaloid. But CeVIO’s engine just does her SO much justice I feel.

    I can’t wait to hear some proper demos! I’m heavily leaning towards getting her.

    That's more or less how I feel too, even though I did just impulse buy her Vocaloid bank in November because I got impatient oops :teto_lili:(On the bright side, self duets! Self duets! Also since she's on DLsite I can probably- yep just checked I can get a coupon for $20 off mmm tempting)

    Flower always had this "cotton balls in her mouth" sound on Vocaloid that sometimes annoyed me, unless a producer could mix it out. So far, her CeVIO doesn't seem to have this problem (or at least, not as much as her Vocaloid).
    peaches2217
    Ah, VocaTwitter is sharing Chis-A English plugged into files with an abundance of unslurred notebends, which anyone with the slightest bit of experience in VoiSona or CeVIO will know doesn’t WORK in either, and preaching that she’s awful and impossible to use and a cautionary tale of both the subscription model and using anything for English that isn’t SynthV.

    Never change, VocaTwitter. And by that, I mean please change, immediately, get some sense, touch grass, text your mother, please.

    @MillyAqualine while there are absolutely valid reasons to criticize cevio vbs I do agree a lot of people approach it with bad faith, I do find that people have prejudice against certain editors and are eager to jump at any opportunity to be mean about it.

    a lot of people don't care to give constructive criticism, only to perpetuate hatred towards other editors

    Even though I'd be glad to see a troll/hateful person nag another troll/hateful person or thing, I don't like his dictatorship following what I hear about... On the other hand I totally understand what you're feeling because I'd really hope only positive people and artists would remain on that site ^^"'

    Following up on my last post: have some IA being mature and lovely straight from CeVIO AI! These are all raw, with very little manual fixing, so forgive any oddness or choppiness, but I wanted to show her off in a pure state to show that she can achieve more regal tones without external work. I also show off her dynamics some: she's largely set to N for the first sample, while the second sample uses F through FFFF, and the third uses P through PPPP.

    peaches2217
    I would like to once again remind everyone that IA’s song bank on CeVIO AI is capable of some SPECTACULAR tonal range and can achieve the same luscious, mature, regal tone her Vocaloid has, and the fact that this was never advertised in any of her demos is CRIMINAL CRIMINAL CRIMINAL CRIMINAL

    I meant to gather them and take a big, pretty picture, but I came down with the flu like a day later and I've lacked anything resembling energy since then, so for now I'll brag in writing!

    My coolest and most awesomest GF sent me several European and Czech-Slovak snacks! Of course, she included the usual two cans of Sweet Paprika Pringles, which I can never get enough of. Then she sent me several Kinder and Duplo treats, her favorite Lindt chocolates, something called Cat Tongues (which are also chocolate), Biscoff cookies, Biscoff spread, and Raspberry and Vanilla Oreos! Ah, I'm so upset I've got the flu. I have zero appetite and everything I DO eat tastes weird, so I'll have to wait for this to pass to dig in. But that gives me more to look forward to!
