    man going back to the first solaria demo- obvs that bank iirc was monopitch/incomplete even. but it really shows how much the effort put into the new bank makes all the difference in quality. i get some ppl may like her tone in the og demo but i see nothing but improvements in the near finished AI bank, i really dont care what shifted about her original voice lol
    morrysillusion
    i saw a few ppl mention eleanor AI's lack of difference using the tension parameter and ya know i thought maybe my standards were too high, but turns out that really is the case. like, Saki AI has a very noticable difference in the tension parameter... for ele AI is kinda just feels like her voice becomes more or less soft? but with Saki, i feel like she gains a pretty obvious head voice on the softer on, mostly when in the high range. but i just dont hear it with ele. i wonder if they lacked some data to make that work? maybe it will be patched in later...? i do think ele is a upgrade in many ways and much prefer her to the old standard banks, but i was a bit put off by that to say the least, as it is a parameter i look forward to the most in synth v.

    i am in an endless loop of hoarding blank MIDI files and never having the energy to do anything else with them

    i also admittedly want to comm some people to make some midis for some obscure songs (bc i absolutely dont have an ear for midi making) but i am also afraid theyll just sit in the unused/untuned phase forever;;

    i think my system hard drive may be dying....which would be a surprise, its not old, and only half full (its 4 TB) but i may back it up and switch to a different drive to see how it runs just in case.... and this my friends is why activating your vocaloids to your internet card and not your system drive is a good idea!

    yea ill have to pay attention next time i turn it on because it was quite noisy- ill have to see if it "clicks" at all. the thing is, its the system that shows its using all of the HDD, definitely no other software (unless its something i cant see in task manager). so im unsure if its really windows 10 (which idk why it would- this has been over multiple months and updates) or if the drive is just dying and putting a lotta stress on the system... definitely no other softwares or anything, i do a Lot of PC trouble shooting (sadly i have too much expirience with crappy PCs and have basically become a computer nerd due to it lol), and not much is pointing me in the direction of "why" the system would do that other than the HDD physically having an issue/dying.

    its internal SATA, 3.5 HDD. ill see about the cable, i would expect it to be fine (this is a very new PC) but anything is worth checking since ive been through all the basic scans/checks lol. ill still backup and get this alt drive prepared for startup too in case the cable does nothing (tho tbh i cant recall how old this drive is so i may just seek out a new one. ill also have to see if theyre under warranty... we have had some for a while and a few came from my various prebuilt Dell PCs sooo not sure about that.

    May be unrelated, but try setting your internet connection to "metered." My computer was constantly sending data to the Microsoft mothership until I did that. The computer would be sitting there with nothing running, but the hard drive and network usage was going constantly. I told it my internet was a metered connection and it stopped doing that. It was a brand new Windows 10 laptop, so it wasn't spyware.

    i may try that, honestly anything at this point, tho it is notably at start up (for 20-30 mins). im about to copy everything to a new disk as well so we'll see what issues persist....

    i have never used synth v very consistently since i never owned a full vb until now, so since i am now, i have been able to really see what i do/dont like...

    goods:
    - i do like, for the most part, how notes can be carried. the ease of switching between "-" and "+" becomes very easy, not causing me to have to stop and do advanced edits just tab, enter the character, tab, enter the character, etc. however some words just did not work how i expected them to when i used "-" which is a little annoying, the way synth v carried some words when entered is not at all like what i want (oddly vocaloid gets it right for some of those words).
    - the sorta 'curve' tool for drawing on parameters is nicer than the lines imo, mostly with how it creates the nodes
    - the interface is sleek and nice to look at, easy to read really. its not a huge pro over like, vocaloid, its just nice to look at lol :P
    - i do like there is a default "hum" sound if you dont have a voice in. kinda nice to at least hear, and it reminds me i didnt select a voice- instead of silence where it might confuse me if my sound is off- just a nice lil detail

    bads:
    - the sidebar on the right. i didnt like it before and i still dont. 99% of the time i forget what the symbols mean so i just click on them over and over and then i have multiple open again i forget which is which, so i close the wrong ones.... it aint good. theres good information in there! but i forget it exists all the time!!
    - in relation, the way it exports the vocal tracks did confuse me quite a bit coming from programs like vocaloid where its under export > export as wav.... its worded in a way i have never heard and the fact its hidden in the right sidebar makes me forget where it is
    - again has some issues with the automatic phonemes/dictionary and the way words where carried. often times words ending in N or "n't" would not carry properly when i used "-" and it was very annoying. a few other words straight up did not work ("choir" was one i recall)
    - it seems you cannot use + if the notes aren't connected??? if im mistaken let me know but every time, it did not work. which is.... very annoying

    aside take this mini review as, i think it has some nice parts! and its easy to use. but i wouldnt say its any easier to me than vocaloid- theyre both technically the same imo with a few things missing or added. that fuckin sidebar tho....

    also in regards to the curve tool over line tool for parameter drawing.... vocaloid 5 makes it all look "choppy" and i realize that, when it may not actually affect the sound very much, it just looks nicer for it to be all smooth lol. in vocaloid 4 i often use a plugin called "parameter smoother" just because, since it smoots out my shaky hand drawing.

    something have kinda been balanced in my life and i actually really really wanna make original songs again.... i may just tackle instrumental for a bit bc im unsure if i really wanna keep making vocal synth songs regularly. but im listening to some of the files i have unfinished and i really like what i have made and i wanna make more tbh

    Hmm... The success of the above cover reinforces my own experiences with Eleanor Forte AI: she's a crooner. That is to say, her AI was trained by a vocalist who sang into the microphone at a talking level, similar to Frank Sinatra and other singers of his era. There's nothing wrong with that per se, but it really isn't gelling with the songs that I had prepared in anticipation of Eleanor Forte AI's release. I guess I'll have to wait until Solaris AI (or whatever it's called this month) is available.

    ah i agree! that is definitely what i was thinking but did not know the way to word it... i will be honest i even feel that way about her original bank too, just that their ranges are a little different. i would say i still find her to sound good in the range i have tried her with but, it can be hard to work her into other genres because of that. @parallax_fifths

    i still havent finished anything but these were the few things i did with her, all of wish i think sound pretty decent but i didnt really feel like she was standout in any of the covers i plugged her into? mostly because of how i feel with her, much like your own statement.

    (last one probably the most fitting)

    shes got a lovely tone and all, but the way she seems to be in range kinda suits her to certain songs over others. i think id be fine making an original song with her voice, as i would suit the song to her voice- but with covers im kinda just jumping to every file i have thinking 'this sounds nice, but it doesnt really fit'. i still like her way more than her old bank so i think i will still use her

    today has been plugging and playing ever english file i own but not actually mixing a single cover because im so indecisive.... they sound nice but i guess im also a little bored because technically i have used all these files and covered them lol. but im also a tad too lazy to cover something new either
    morrysillusion
    not to sound potentially illegal for a moment but man lately what is it with getting downloads in very unsecure ways? i got eleanor on a google drive that i could surely link to anyone....(edit: did test the link on a not logged in account n yeah, i could click it) sure, you need a serial, but people cracking these softwares would easily get their hands on her early like that. making it easy to steal means itll be easier to crack (i have heard of some difficulty with synth v cracks over others but the point still stands in being able to use that link)

    but also i have expirienced this with other things too. i got Psychonauts 2 (the game) early as a backer and it was a torrent link which again. i could link to anyone and DL as much as i wanted, and it had no DRM! so like. free game basically??

    it seems a little risky to do that, mostly for an even tinier company like volor.

    gotta sit down soon and try open utau... the stuff it has for english banks in terms of making usts sounds like exactly what i need. i would be lying if i said i didnt avoid using my own english utaus because i really hate figuring out the phoneme side of it all...

    morrysillusion
    its simply my autistic and adhd ass going "i get it but, if it has too many steps i suddenly lose all energy to do it because its too many steps" so knowing theres some tools in open utau that kinda eleviate that makes me interested. i really like english utaus and i wanna remake my own, but not if im gonna skimp out and not use it so i wanna give it a shot lol. i will let up the steps to do something if it means it will be easier later, really

    i think in the last year i have mentally become at peace with flower cevio AI being of an unknown status. like. not really because id say everything coming of cevio will be bad, but its just like. part of me also doesnt want to see the potential terrible fate to flower on cevio. however sad the seemingly expected death of gynoid would be....im also ok with her just. staying as she was last ya know lol

    gynoid twitter literally only reposting the same merch tweet for...so long.......does not spell hope to me lol. obviously no human has picked up the twitter accounts since the previous person left and im surprised its been so long
    morrysillusion
    morrysillusion
    and not to conspire too much but the release of flower talk showed some changes in her direction imo that would make me a little iffy about where cevio could take her- in the sense that she may start to go down a path more similar to those voices being made for cevio... i say in the sense that, gynoid's creations alone have their own uniqueness, so if they were to start chasing the look and trends of successful voices on cevio then i would easily be dissapointed (looking at the changes of IA and her very miku-like redesign...and the much more moe look to talk flower....it has me thinking)

    it is impossible to know what is going on with the supposed flower cevio at this point. maybe shes been reworked multiple times? maybe gynoid and cevio have something going on (conflict? a deal? being merged?), who knows. she could pop up next week suddenly. idk.

    i was reminiscing on some old covers of mine and counted... i have made at almost 200 covers with v flower (this is partially due to that year i ended up making 100 flower covers as a challenge orz) since i got her in 2016

    the number is a bit loose since i counted by the total folders in my "finished" folder for flower, but there may have been some missing since i did loose everything from 2016 to mid 2017, but undoubtedly i have 150-175 after that 100 cover challenge

    i have healed decently from my surgery now after almost 3 weeks so i am more on my computer in general right now and i guess i will pop in to make a quick status after distracting myself with other things to enjoy. i dont plan to repeat my thoughts too much as i very very well expressed this on my status from October 13th (i guess you cant link status posts orz...) and in order to deal w circulating negative thoughts i dont think ill take part in more intense discussions here for a while- and imo this includes jokes and memes too, theres only so many self depricating critical jokes i can take about what i enjoy before that too becomes harmful to be around.

    i think all discussions have a place, even those of the more critical nature, but i think it can really be a downer when it feels like thats almost all there is- and thats how i feel recently. its hard to pull myself away due to my ocd and the habits is forces upon my interactions... but i will be around and i hope to simply share things i like, post art, covers, etc and get excited for what new things are coming in vocal synths.
    morrysillusion
    some less than stellar interactions have made me not want to be here recently so i probably wont be for a while. (i know ironically falling in line w some other ppl bouncing but its not related lol its different and more specific to some interactions i have been having in relation to the voca community, not nessecarily on this forum)
    morrysillusion
    tbh one of my main drives to use singing synths is that i just like hearing them sing. i just like plugging in different voice and hearing the voices. i avoid buying new voices purely out of that drive, since i really only do it randomly out of boredom and try to keep to trials and lite vbs. but i ordered eleanor and anri, i only have eleanor's lite vb, so im kinda extra hype to have some actual new full voice banks after many many months of not purchasing new voices.
    morrysillusion
    its been quite a while since i unlisted all of my vocaloid videos.... and it feels nice, i feel good not being bothered by those anymore and not feeling like that is my entire identity on my youtube channel. my sonic/shadow utau remains and i only get dumb comments on those every so often now.

    Thank you for the reminder, I was initially a bit troubled that I couldn't find it on apple music despite typing the same title in to the search..I ended up typing it in Japanese for it to show up, a little bit ironic perhaps(lol).
