  • I was thinking of taking advantage of dl site current coupons to get Sekai’s starter pack but I’m now reluctant due to the recent happenings with Kamitsubaki. Like, I love Sekai’s voice and character and I’d be really happy to get and use her, but at the same time I really dislike her company and their “questionable” decisions ufff, I’m pretty torn on what to do 🥲

    omg I hadn't heard about this. yikes! i wouldn't judge if you still wanted her bank, but i totally get the hesitation 😬

    Yeah, it’s pretty terrible…
    As for Sekai, idkkk, should I get her I’d have to do it soon as I was counting on using the Golden Week coupons (which last ‘till tomorrow), but I’m still not that sure gygd. She sounds super nice but I’m not that enthusiastic about giving money to a shady nft making company mh🥲

    Is it just Italy or the news about that man marrying Miku is actually being spread everywhere again?
    A lot of national pages and web newspapers are posting about it and even some irl friends of mine forwarded it to me👀, like, didn’t it actually happen a few years ago if I’m recalling well? Why is it trending again now

    (And let’s not talk about all the inaccuracies I’m reading that go from calling Miku a “singer drawn in a manga style” to “a doll”😭)
    Vocacolle’s songs are all so amazing! The Rookie entries in particular are *astonishing*. I feel so excited 😭, we truly have some talented producers out there ♪(´ε` )
    I’m a bit sad Karin doesn’t have a standard vb like Rikka, ngl.

    In spite of the fact I’m starting to enjoy AI a lot more than before now and I definitely see the possibilities it offers(mainly cross-language and vocal modes), I still think standard voicebanks have their purpose and strengths, and I just hope that’s not a sign from companies to gradually replace them completely 😓.

    It's unfortunate, but apparently Rikka's standard bank hasn't sold nearly as well as her AI bank - which is why she now has a physical box that contains just her AI bank (for a cheaper price than the version that has both, of course). With that in mind it makes sense why they didn't bother making one for Karin orz.

    I guess it's probably the same across the board - AI banks selling much better than Standard ones. I can see why, too -- all of Synth V's fancy features are only compatible with AI banks, so there's kinda no purpose in getting the Standard versions unless you just really like the tone of it or don't care about future features.

    That being said though, I think AI was the next logical step in "advancing" voice synths. Even if every voice that comes out from now on is just AI, it doesn't mean the Standard banks that exist now or even older Vocaloids can never be used again. They'll always be there for people who prefer them, and there's a ton of voices that can be picked from right now at least.
    Finished my exam week yesterday, so I now have the rest of this week to try and be somewhat present here. Let’s see for how long I’ll be able to keep up orz.
    Anyway, I listened to Karin’s demos and some other usages and I’m getting to love her ;;. We surely have similar voices, but she has got a voice type I really like a lot; I hope I can get her someday ^^
    Started lessons again today, it wasn’t as “traumatic” as I though it would have been though. I just need to get used to the new schedule!

    I also received Stardust today!! She’s ridiculously good, I was so excited I got carried away and almost finished tuning 2/3 of a main part in a couple of hours, I’m having so much fun with her ✨✨

    I'm glad lessons are goin alright! New schedules are hard to adjust to.

    Xingchen is so nice!! Is this her V4 or her SV AI? Both are really good, but I'm just curious! 👍

    It’s her SV AI! I was really torn on which one the get though. In the end, I went with the AI mainly for cross-language capability, but I’m really glad I did it. Her Japanese is unbelievably fluent and her tone can be really faithful to the original one(which I’ve always loved), so I really couldn’t have asked for more :lapis_lili:

    Guyss, I’m finally back! Hope you’re all doing fine~~

    I finished my exam session yesterday, and I decided to “reward” myself by buying Stardust Infinity, she sounds soo good, and I’m even more excited to get her after searching up for some covers on Bilibili and hearing how she can sound so similar to her V4 🥰(I’m placing the order today via a forwarding service, I hope everything goes fine!)
    I should also take advantage of this week prior to the start of lessons to finish up some of my wips(I have a lot of Arsloid wips and an almost (90%) finished cover with Kasumi eheh). I won’t probably do it all this week as I’m slow af and starting to study again, but hey, the good intentions are there lol.
    Anyway, It’s nice to be here again 😊😊
    Remember when I said I’d have gotten Minato and the editor? Well, today I’ve seen there was a duet pack for it👀, soo given I wouldn’t have had another chance of getting other vocals from the series later I thought Kasumi *had* to join my purchase too🥳 :midorizakikasumi_lili:.
    Looking forward to start working with them on something as soon as possible, as I’m loving them both a lot and Cevio actually seems so fun to use 🥰
    Given I now have more time to dedicate to my hobbies, I think I’ll take some time each day to study mixing a bit more seriously, as it has always been what I struggle the most with(even now, I made a wip with Alys yesterday evening(Je l’aime trop😭💙), but I’m not ready to show it yet as the mixing is absolutely awful 😞).

    I’ve fortunately found a YouTube channel which explains everything in a really simple and clear way, so I’ll start taking notes as I would in a normal everyday-lesson and study it later ;3. I hope that could make me improve!

    (Also, totally unrelated, but I’ve been influenced by the rush to buy the Colour Series before they disappear, so I’m getting Minato and the editor for Christmas ^^. He’s my absolute favorite Cevio and I’m looking forward to making him duet with Arsloid, I think they would harmonize wonderfully tbh!)
    Just woke up to ALYS BEING RELEASED FREE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I’m crying, I’ve wanted to get her for literally more than a year now, and now I can finally use her A/E^^^^^. I’m super happy 🥰, I hope Leora will get the same treatment someday 🌝

    It's not just her a/e bank her utau banks also got released too

    Yes, I read later! All of this is so cool tbh, I hope this will bring Alys more love and appreciation, she deserves it(it’s just unfortunate I can’t use utau at all rip, but I find a/e quite fun to use, so I’m perfectly fine with that 😊)
    Time for a confession:
    So, I’ve been wanting to get a new male jp vocal since Len act2 for a while now….
    And today is the day I finally gave in, went to the Vocaloid shop and got one(if not THE) of my favoritesss: he’s a wonderful and long-awaited member of the family now! I’m so glad to have him tbh :akasakiminato_lili:
    The struggle of loving Anri’s voice more and more every new demo that comes out, but definitely not using English synths enough to justify a possible purchase of her 🤕
    Short sad story: Tuned a little more than a quarter of a song in a go, saved, just to notice that I forgot to extract the file from the rar folder, meaning Vocaloid now can’t read it🥲. Adding to that, I was also enjoying how it was turning out ahhhh, I feel stupid now. :kaito_lili:

    That's hurts. But, if you using save as... It should be fine though.

    I didn’t use it apparently, as the file is nowhere to be found gdfyg. At least I learned the lesson though, started another cover out of spite and the first thing I did was to put everything in a nice, accessible folder lol 😅

    Luka love is spreading too much in me and I felt the need to show off something I made with her eheh.
    I feel like some parts are a bit unrefined, but yeah, I still have to work on it and I'd like to gather some opinions on how the tuning is going meanwhile ^^. I love using Luka so so much and I'd really like to keep getting better at using her! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
    I tried my best at mixing, yet it's been a while since I last mixed something rip, I hope it doesn't sound too bad tbh (It's been a nice practice though^^)

    Voice is a bit dull for me, make it a little brighter is nice especially the S-Z sound. I think it should make her voice a little more sexy.
    Song like this need some airy sexy voice.

    Nice to see luka user!

    Thank you for the feedback! I think I can try and play around with husky and whisper EVEC to bring out the “sexy” tone more, as well as practicing eq to add some air and brightness.
    Started working on a cover with Luka (completely ignoring the other, like, 10 wips staring at me from the Documents folder lol) and AH, every time I use her I feel so glad I got around to finally buying her; she’s soo fun to use, and her Soft vb is perfection to me :akasakiminato_lili:. She also kinda encouraged me to use Piapro instead of V4 for Evec and I’m liking it a lot more in the end tbh, so yeah, props to this too. ^ ^
    On my way back to Italy after a week in Paris and I already miss it rip. Such a beautiful city, and all the people were so nice 😊, looking forward to coming back again one day 💭 .
    Also feel like it gave me an even greater motivation to keep getting better at French :3

    Oh cool, in which area were you ? =o (and I'd say same towards Italians based on my experiences in Venice, Firenze and Roma ^^ )

    My hotel was in an area called Châtelet Les Halles, though I actually didn’t spend too much time there other than morning and night lol, as I was always going to different parts of the city to visit the various monuments and museums:kyo_lili:.

    Really happy to hear you’ve had good experiences here in Italy :3
