Anyone else experiencing an error in SVS where the backing track seems to start in different places, even if you start playback from the same place? It's reeeaaaaaaally messing with the timing of this piece.

Am I really sitting here at work, checking in on Iron Maiden's Facebook page every ten minutes because they keep posting modified versions of their cover art that include references to the new video and the number 17 (keeping in mind that they've had 16 studio albums so far)?
Well duh. I'm also on the verge of tears at all times. I've already attracted the concern of two coworkers and a manager. No, I promise it's not an episode this time, I just really fucking love this band.
EDIT: I found it!! Here it is! (Also, here's a version of Tianyi's cover without the crowd noises.)
So what's the actual name of the song Tianyi sang in her first public V5 usage? I can't for the life of me figure it out and it's driving me nuts, because it's such a beautiful song.
Hmm... how do you make the effect from the beginning of Ansatsu Princess (where her voice does that stutter thing leading into the chorus)? I've been fumbling with it for hours and I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out.
I wanna cry. I still wanna cry. Iron Maiden's back. Watching the video for the umpteenth time, someone pointed out that there's seventeen tally marks on one of the Four Eddie's motorcycles... which means we're probably getting a 17th album. (As many people have said before, they're too proudly British for their discography to end on the word "France", so of course Book of Souls wasn't their final album, but after all this time it was hard to believe.)
I love this band so much. They mean everything to me. And I've detached myself because I was certain they were prepping for retirement. But they're back, and it's the best, most euphoric feeling. Maiden, we've missed you!
I was determined to finish my Maika Portuguese cover tonight, but there's one slight problem.
My brain refuses to listen to anything other than "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE YOU YOU SEEEEEEEEEEN? THE WRITING ON THE WAAAAAAAAAALL? HAAAAAAAAAAVE YOU SEEEEEEEEEEN THAT WRITIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?"
I wish Maiden released instrumentals of their songs so I could finally get this out of my system. It's only been a few hours and I can tell this song's not gonna leave me for a loooooong time.
EVERYBODY DROP EVERYTHING RIGHT THIS FUCKING INSTANT, THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME JUST DROPPED THEIR FIRST SINGLE IN SIX YEARS AND IT'S A FUCKING MASTERPIECE
*CW: some graphic imagery*
Today was a really, really, really, really bad day, so I gave into gratification and ordered Maika's box; I pay money and feel good now, then I receive a product and feel good in a few days/a week or two!
I forgot that Voctro Labs, even if you buy a boxed product, sends you your VB and serial immediately.
I wanted instant gratification with future payoff, and I got instant gratification, instant payoff, AND future payoff. GOD I'm so happy~
The fun thing about using a Vocaloid programmed to sing in a language you have only casual understanding of to sing a language you have zero understanding of: you’re always finding new mistakes to correct along the way! “Wait, why is she saying [x e] [m i]? I need her to say say [g e] [m i]! I know she’s got the G phoneme!”
I’ve really gotta pick up some more Portuguese. It’s such a pretty language.
When I was eight, my mom got a tiny, fluffy puppy for her then-fiance's daughter. She realized pretty quickly though that said daughter wasn't equipped to take care of him, so he became part of our family. From the time I was eight and my brother was ten, little Bear was a fixture in our life. He was the happiest dog. There was a bald spot in his back from where his tail curled, because he wagged it so much that nothing could grow in that spot. He was our baby sister's first friend when she was born, and "Bear" was one of her first words (though it was more like "Beeeeeeeh").
Bear turned sixteen in April. Tomorrow he'll be at peace.
I'm not just outright devastated; it was a long time coming. His health's been in decline for a few years, but he's always bounced back until the past few months. My brother is saying the same thing, but my SIL admitted he's taking it hard. I went over tonight to help my mom give him one last bath and spoil him some more and she was inconsolable. Still, even though he was struggling to breathe and couldn't walk, he wagged his tail and sneezed playfully the whole time.
I've expressed annoyance with him in the past for various reasons (tied more to my mom than to the dog himself), but I love him, and he loves me, and I'm gonna miss him. So any and all prayers would be appreciated. He's been with us for so long that imagining a world without him definitely isn't... easy.
I wanted to wait until it was midnight here, but I can't, and it's been too long since I've been disgustingly affectionate in public, SO!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST AMAZING WONDERFUL PERFECT LOVELY WOMAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
My goal is to have this Maika cover up within the next few days! It's just a matter of polishing the tuning. She's a lot like Miku in that her voice is beautiful, but she's soooooo easy to make sound bored. At the same time, I can't UNDERdo it, y'know? And balance is what I struggle with most.
New cover going up ASAP!
Yanhe’s so freaking beautiful! God, I can’t wait for her VB drop… I’m gonna be on the edge of my seat now waiting for Tianyi. Her New Years demonstration is, to this day, my single favorite usage of her, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the very same VB
With any luck I'll have a new cover going up tomorrow (er... today, I guess). Wish me luck!
Has anyone gotten their discount code from Volor for Ellie's pre-order yet? It's been over a week and nothing.
I started singing this to one of my cats to calm her down while cleaning her eye boogers, and I realized I haven't touched my attempt to cover it in like... three years. So here's my attempt to revive it! I'm having a hard time balancing making the tuning sound less stale, and making it too much. Hopefully I can find that sweet spot!
Rikka, Solaria, Maki, Seven... this is truly the year of exceptional VB releases and I'm eternally grateful.
Ah, I can't wait to use Seven! I'm gonna crack open my laptop after work and test her out.
I deal with a number of odd and infuriating customers, but I think the absolute worst are the ones who bitch, moan, swear up and down they’re never coming back, and then come back anyway because they realize they can’t get away with their verbal abuse anywhere else. It’s become… something of a game, with two customers in particular. After every threat of “I’m never coming back desu!”, we keep a count board behind the desk, and when they inevitably return we tally the days we went without seeing them and pit the scores against previous records. (The current record-holder: WaxBoss Lady, who didn’t come back for a whole three weeks.)
Coincidentally, no matter how much they press their superiority and vow never to return, they’re never gone for longer than a few weeks at a time. It’s to the point even the managers don’t pay them any mind, because, hey, nothing will make them happy, but at least we’re getting their money. I mean… we have a self-service, and we’re hardly the only print shop in town. If it was really a matter of us not doing well, they’d have gone somewhere else by now.
I say all of this because one of those two customers (a Scentsy rep who likes to remind us all, with no room for doubt, that she’s the most highly-educates person in the building), came back, screamed at us for not having her URL memorized, told us she hoped we got cancer from our commercial candles, and stormed off. The countdown begins anew.
I might not be skilled in Portuguese, but hey, it's a learning adventure, and a fun one at that! I'm really happy with how it's coming along so far, rough mix aside. Though I certainly need some more practice in tuning Maika...
