Yeesh. I've been using Ace, VoiSona, and CeVIO AI almost exclusively for the past month, and now I'm returning to Meiko Dark, and... wow. It's amazing how far vocalsynthesis has come in the almost ten years since her release!
(Yes that's shorthand for "She's significantly more noisy and jumpy than I remember," shhhhhh)
I'm so happy for the advent of VoiSona and especially Ace in these past several months; they give me the clarity and realism of SynthV AI with the flexibility, character, and charm of Vocaloid and Utau. In the coming days, I'd like to reassess all of my active synths and pinpoint what I like using each one for best. Things have changed a lot in the past year.
For now I'm going to continue wrestling with Meiko Dark, because if I could just get her to say [g a] without her voice randomly going thin she would sound
beautiful in this song.
Good to know that these guys are devoting their time and energy to the honing of such a useful and world-improving skill, huh? ;)
Anyway, it's not just you--there's a bunch of it going around, as of about a few months ago.
Your workplace probably has cameras in its lot, right? That might help if you wanted to file a complaint with the police. (Or, if there aren't any cameras, that might help explain why the thieves came there.)
