  • My Lyft driver asked me what kind of music I liked and since he kind of caught me off guard I said "It's not really a specific genre but Vocaloid" dcnjd He said something like, "I think I know what you're talking about but I don't think they have that on SiriusXM" :teto_lili:
    I just now found out about the V6 Una trial... BRB checking to see if I have enough to buy the editor jskfsjflfs (gonna have to buy it sometime so I can try out Fuiro)

    According to Internet's Twitter it's been out since the 29th of last month? But I only just saw it mentioned in a newsletter I got this morning so I thought it was new jfksdl

    I would like to buy it too but the price is quite intimidating...

    Honestly I feel like the upgrade price is relatively reasonable (I probably would have found it even moreso if I hadn't upgraded to V5 since V3-V4 owners get the same discount without already having half the bundled banks), but I'm probably a little biased since I like most of the bundled voicebanks and I have the flexibility in my budget to spend a fair bit of money on synths. X'P
    Here I was a little sad I missed the DLsite 15% off coupon but Vector has an even better sale on CeVIO banks that lasts until after payday :teto_lili: Tsudumi it is I guess! (Though maybe I'll buy Yuma on payday anyway... doubt it because Saros preorder is priority one for song banks but we'll see sdjlk)
    DLsite has a 15% off coupon and now I'm debating whether to get Tudumi's talk bank or Yuma (or wipe out my account and get both :teto_lili: I wish the coupon lasted longer, I get paid later in the week). I'm leaning toward the former (... I just realized I wrote her name in Nihonshiki romanization rofl) because it's a better deal but... but... *dreamy sigh* Yumaaaaa
    TIL there's a Japanese version of this song :teto_lili: I'm a little hurt at the exclusion of my home state /jk

    Oh yeah, it's in Studio Ghibli's "Whisper of the Heart." The song is a recurring part of the film.

    Neat! I saw that it was part of a film but I didn't see it was a Ghibli film.
    In a shining example of my self-control skills, I went ahead and impulse bought Fuiro despite not having enough to buy the editor and kind of needing a new computer :teto_lili: (Going by my experience with the V6 trial, my current laptop can run it, but the problem is that since then my computer's started having this issue where doing literally anything remotely intensive can cause serious overheating.) Dang intro sale being too good *sarcastic fist shake*

    Same I want to get her but considering V6 is pricey and I'm not aware about whether my lappy is powerful enough to run it... (and that I need to finish some stuffs OTL)

    Maybe I should do the same and store her for later but i'm always afraid of getting bad thing happening OTL heeeeelp

    Or giving discounts to owner who already own v3-v4 editor is a good idea too, like -20% off or something.

    The upgrade price for V6 does include V3-V4 owners though? Or at least it says it does on Yamaha's site. It's 40% off according to my calculations. The only catch to upgrading as far as I know is it doesn't come with Cubase AI if you want that.

    Did you try the trial, Milly? (I did but only got to spend like three minutes with it because what is having the energy to actually use my synths :teto_lili: )

    (Sorry if I'm being Captain Obvious here and missing something sdfj ^^;)
    Me when the current Neon White level shares a name with one of my favorite niki songs

    (This game is so addictive but it takes me So Many Tries to get ace medals and I think???? I need them for an ending? ah well if I have the determination to do anything it's play a video game endlessly until I get what I want done jdslk)

    And then I got an ace medal on my first successful try woooooo niki cover to celebrate /hj (I did try to make a cover of Glide with Norio Kanochi once jldsfl he was an old favorite of mine)
    Oops Fuiro just fell into my cart after hearing this cover how about that
    I looked into the series Maimaimaigoen because of Teniwoha's new song and holy fudge I am going to have nightmares now SANRIO WHY

    I had seen some of the characters before and had no idea where they were from. Also didn’t realize Kairiki Bear had composed for them

    Based on what it says on the wiki, it seems like they're specifically teaming up with vocal synth producers for the character songs. I thought it was neat so I started reading the story summary and then was mindscrewed by the concept of official Sanrio horror :teto_lili: (It's probably not meant to be that scary but damn those Froggy Eggs)
    I wanted to buy Ci Flower this weekend but I ended up spending way too much money on other stuff 😅 At least I can play Rune Factory 5 and Project Diva while I wait for my next paycheck
    So I've been trying the Antares Throat plugin and I think I might be in love? Maybe? :kanon_lili: If I can find a good tutorial for it I may actually try to finish something for once :teto_lili:

    @Twillby, @peaches2217: Does it have to work with rendered WAV files, or can you drop it on a Piapro/V5 plug-in track in your DAW to use as an effect in real time?

    Looks like there are some (short) YouTube videos that might be of use.

    I've never tried using a synth in a DAW before so I couldn't say whether it would work for sure or not. I feel like it probably would but I don't have the means to test it since I uninstalled V5. (Computer's kind of on its last legs I think so I uninstalled most of my synths to be safe :kyo_lili: )
    Antares gave me a free license to this plugin of theirs that I've been eyeing for ages as part of signing up for an AutoTune trial and I'm just over here going, "I don't trust this, this is too good to be true, are they going to hit me with a fine if I cancel before the trial turns into a subscription or something" lmaorz

    Hell, if you want, send me the link and I’ll do some digging! Antares does have a few cheaper or free plugins iirc, so it shouldn’t be a trap, but if you’re worried I can help.

    Thanks for offering Peaches! :akasakiminato_lili: I'm like 99% sure I'm just paranoid because I'm looking at their site now and I'm scouring for loopholes and finding not a hint of one :teto_lili: It's the first offer that comes up on their website, the one about Throat. It's usually over a hundred bucks so that's why I'm struggling to believe it no matter how hard they say "Get it free with trial!" XD
    I feel like I should probably just admit to myself I am not cut out for using non-AI voicebanks but at the same time there are so many voices in that category that I love, so I keep going "hhh are you SURE you can't put in the extra effort for once in your life???" :ring_ani_lili: (The answer so far is "no, me just want hear computer sing words :'D")

    I don't see anything wrong with that, AI singing is very good so far, though they aren't perfect, still better than doing it from 0. It need some tweak n peak here and there, a huge time saving so you can spend your time and effort elsewhere.

    Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with using AI, it's just that I keep going back to older voicebanks saying, "Surely! Surely I will find a way to cheat the system and make using non-AI take less effort! Or at least I'll find the willpower to push through manual editing!" and of course I only ever manage to frustrate myself X'D
