    i can have normal opinions and not go into a fit of rage too you know. thats a thing i can do.... just voice opinions normally lol
    since people voted for it on my YT i plan to make a dedicated channel to start posting covers again, since i have made a few here and there. i dont plan to do any fancy videos tho. but ive posted and removed various covers on soundcloud in the last 1-2 years due to the upload limit and i guess itd be nice to just throw them up somewhere more permanent, and since no one uses whypit.
    cevio piqued my interest for a moment w english usage but, sasara just sounded like she was using her normal japanese sounds with no real change from if i someone were to have done it manually. like correct me if im wrong it just seems like cevio has a dictionary for english words but not any actual AI usage to make them sing english. if they actually got into AI using knowledge to speak more fluent english id be interested but i dont think thats what theyre doing right now
    ive been distancing myself a whole lot from typical social media so thats kinda why my prescense on here is a bit sporadic and i dont say much-- i still check news and stuff i like but thats kinda it. and its been good... i am working on my own website and plan to just reside there and do whatever i want on it. i def like forums still though, but my fixations have been places other than vocaloid so its taken a back seat i guess. but the more i distance from social media the more unbearable it is to return... im glad i feel like i dont need that like before.
    god its weird seeing the automated tweets from gynoid going on right now. i mean im surprised they havent just dissolved entirely but i guess having those existing voices to buy means theyll likely remain until those voices are retired, unless gynoid actually picks themselves back up which doesnt seem likely....

    i have many onions on cevio flower i dont think i need to voice again. very on the fence with what could come out of it- i liked collecting and loving flower but since the start of the cevio announcement i had no interest in supporting cevio- for various reasons, but mostly just the sound. not sure what flower will come out to be, mostly if gynoid isnt behind her anymore.
    O_O ryo just reverted to default synth v beep sound in the middle of a song? huh?

    ill try that if it happens again! was strange it happened twice, at two different points. it happened with Ryo but not the others too.

    I don’t know if it’s the same issue, but sometimes when I switch singers it randomly retains the previous one in certain points of the track. To get rid of it I simply move one of the affected notes down and up again to let it re-render the part. Shouldn’t selecting the singer solve it for you, you could try doing this too 👍🏻

    oh thats something i may try too- it started with the default beep so maybe that happened. i was trying to figure out if there was some way to "rerender" but i didnt think of just moving the notes lol!
    synth v stardust has certain grown on me... i think synth v has now brought some things to the table that have really made her move there worth while. tho on the vocal modes, i dont think a lot of them do much difference... cool and sweet sound the most unique i think. and her english (mostly with the cool sound) sounds really nice if not a bit weird in place. definitely love hearing her around
    sorry for the double post but i was quick to go plug Ryo in and mess with vocal modes. plugged him into my I'm Yours cover that i did with Solaria, and i am really loving the "resonant" one. 100% Resonant, 30% nasal, 30% clear. oddly hes starting to sound akin to Dex did in the original cover by giantorigami, dex is on the harms towards the ends and they fit very well. the vocal mode really makes Ryo more of a solid toned voice and i am loving that as i can now see him fitting more styles of songs.

    the vocal mode test cover:

    no vocal mode:

    this is why im kinda glad i bought ryo instead of kevin-- i mean. he just feels so similar to Kevin tone wise now, and i like that he leans on the softer side in general without the vocal modes. his cross language has some flaws but thats kinda expected. i like hearing kevin but i think synth v has just given me more reason to stick with what i have, which is good
    perhaps im not hearing the quality difference with the new synth v update because ive been using speakers lately and not head phones, but i did hear that theres some issues with the new vocal sounds with cross language, which is more of a concern to me... i mean im sure theyll fix the issues, so ill probably just update since i dont use synth v that much right now

    also it seems i have all my previous updates set up exe's so, thats good. in case i want to revert
    im certainly Around right now but definitely dont expect too much from me in vocal synth stuff, ive just been much more caught up in other things right now... still checkin for news, but thats kind of all i have energy for in between other interests
    idk why but im thinking about kaai yuki and how i think above all she does stand as one of my fave vocaloids to listen to. theres a lot to be said about kids voicing things like this but it really is such a unique option to have, nothing really compares to the actual child-voiced vocaloid like kaai.seeing kaai pop up in more genres than what might be typical for her voice type makes me happy
    love ryo's english a lot. of course now that i have an appealing male english vocal, i have no idea what to even try and cover with it :') but hopefully ill get some energy for originals again now that i can relax after moving in
    for some reason i have been very obsessed with just getting extracted vocals of songs from one good ai separator i use? ive been doing it for a vocalist i adore, her style of singing so unique and nothing i feel i could get close to with vocal synths, so i just study them. its nice hearing the ripped vocals alone because i can focus on all of that- where the voice cracks, where the breathing is, how they enunciate certain parts and dragon certain consonants.

    converting it to vocal synth stuff with praat isnt super useful as it shows me that there is much more to the vocals than just the timing of notes and pitch bends- but it can still be fun to compare because it points out to me what the vocal synths still miss that real vocals do.
    i made a audio comparison of Chis-a and Flower Talk singing..!

    this isnt to "prove" anything but i know im not the only one who was reminded of Flower Talk when i heard Chis-a. I dont think Vocaloid Flower sounds like Chis, vocaloid flower is way more sharp/strong and powerful and theres a bit of a difference in flower's talk voice to her vocaloid so i felt itd make most sense to compare Talk flower to Chis-a. there are some vocaloid flower/chis-a duets already too so i dont think i need to add her here.

    flower talk is the more 'robotic' one.

    obviously flower talk isnt supposed to sing so shes robotic and buggy, but i do think her talk does sound way more similar to Chis-a than flower's actual vocaloid bank- probably more due to the fact that the Talk voice is more relaxed. im convinced if flower talk was a singing voice, they'd be way way more similar too, but i can here some uniqueness between them still. but their similarities still make me now think "so why would they want to release flower for cevio if they have chis-a?" aside from character design, if flower's singing bank doesnt fufill the rock centered niche, it seems pointless from a company standpoint unless they really do have faith that flower's character would be enough to sell her again
    hmmm i have been using Praat a lot to experiment. wondering if i should make a dedicated thread for it so my main covers thread doesnt just end up being that
    gotta say stardust's english really has a great sound. its not something id use but i feel like it falls in line with the young feminine pop vocal that a voice like Anri has, but different enough to still be unique from her. She does seem to have some issues with some consonants but idk i guess you cant complain when shes not supposed to speak english technically.

    i do feel like japanese/chinese voices singing english have.. and interesting advantage? i think they often sound a lot more "relaxed" with their pronunciation liklely due to the fact they have limited sounds to work with compared to a native english bank. while Stardust shows some issues due to it, i think i have really enjoyed how they sing bc they dont have the same incredibly strict pronciation as most english synths. i think synth v's english banks have improved off a lotta things, but i still feel voices like eleanor, anri and kevin just like... have that borderline "sing like i need to enunciate every word super strongly" problem that is more apparent in english vocaloids. they sound great but, i would rather have relaxed singing, even if it comes out a bit unclear sometimes, and it interesting i feel the nonenglish voices acheive this at times bc of their less sounds.

    What I do find really interesting about stardust's cross lingual english is that she sounds very close to her vp when she sings in english. I never really heard it in her vocaloid or when she sings chinese so I find it really interesting. Native english synth Vs may I suggest using voicing it helps a lot with relaxing the voice. I use it a lot in pop songs were there's slurred pronunciation. Also can help for when you want to easily change the emphasize of a phrase.

    tbh idk if its just certain voices but, Voicing has always just sounded more like its changing the volume to me and making them breathy, but i think its bc i know the tone im talking about is really just inherent to the actual recordings and not something the engine can change unless like, AI learning also includes it-- it can help in some ways but for me its not enough to be the change id want in the voice, as nothing will truly beat actually having a voice that is actually singing relaxed versus one being manipulated by a parameter. i also just really dont like the "breathy" grainy sound parameters like that put on the voice :(
