  • was looking at the v3 ZOLA demo of Borderless.. these guys came out on the Vocaloid ten year anniversary huh? and now their v6 is coming out on their own ten year anniversary? interesting lol
    you ever have a band/album that is good but its so like. depressing. that you really cant listen to it much at all even though you really love it and you want to?

    Anyways for me its "Home, like no place there is" from The Hotelier. theyre indie rock/emo. good shit but if i listen i know its gonna make me think about the past and feel bad

    Yes - Ethel Cain's Preacher's Daughter and Lana Del Rey's Ocean Blvd have a bunch of songs I just have to avoid because they're too evocative and emotional. :kaito_lili: They remind me of issues that hit too close to home.
    the eclipsed sounds tumblr has been answering some questions mostly in regards to asterian! some interesting, some noting lite versions. Eclipsed Sounds wasnt sure what thread i could post this in so feel free to post it somewhere lol
    found files for a veryyy old Ken cover i did years ago but since took down- was thinking of reposting bc i liked the song. but man it reminds me how much i wish Synth V had a very blatant manual vocal fry function like V5/6 does. the cover i made may have been a... bit intense with it lol. but it really impacted the cover overall, i still like it
    i really liked my yuma/fukase cover (kinda wish it was getting more views on yt lol) and i havent done like... any cross-synth covers at all in ages. and it really reminds me how fun it is to have duets of different synths! especially non AI vs AI. bc i still LOVE fukase's voice and many other non AI voices can still be just great vocal pairs... its not fair to see them as worse or more awkward next to AI, theres so many great tones from the massive library vocaloid has. also i need the twinks to sing together. yuma/fukase/piko cover when
    i know its been a hot minute since i picked up that utau im working on-- which is mostly just life being busy. but really the plus is seeing more much my voice keeps dropping. but also.... its hard to determine the best time to stop waiting and just record lol. idk if my voice will go deeper or if its leveled out enough to not change too obvious in a short period. but at the same time i also feel i need to practice talking deeper... some ppl may not realize but being afab pre-T, you talk with your throat. amab talk with their chest. when you go on T you dont just... start talking with your chest really. you gotta be conscious about it and practice keeping that, which i havent done and kind of want to acheive bc id prefer that deeper sound- especially for singing range.
    yesss unit.0's remixes out... theyre so good. the videos are awesome and everything sounds great. surprised to say i dont hate the screamo attempt too much- its always so hard to do and i usually prefer for vocal synth artists to just... not even try it lol. but it didnt feel too awkward as to take me away from the song itself. but still... screamo vocal synth when???
    i was out all day and missed whatever happened earlier regarding v6 discussion! and thats ok bc it means i dont need to get upset trying to voice my opinion <3 and now those opinions will stay in my mouth outside of interacting w some posts lol.
    i didnt test this enough w the last beta... i think the betas make the realvoice script break, as it crashes when used. but i dont recall if it worked w 1.8 full release (if someone has that installer let me know!). my last older setup is 1.5 and if i revert to that, it works. but it also crashes with 1.9 if you make a file in 1.9 beta, it will crash when played due to new features (even with an older voice model loaded in 1.9 i think the new manual/sing/rap choices also mess it up?). soooo right now im kinda using 1.5 entirely for realvoice attempts i guess. as long as you start the file in 1.5/older you wont have issues as 1.5 wont load a newer voice at all. will have to wait and see if it changes on 1.9 full release though.

    i found my 1.8.1 installer (it was there, but not named w a ver number like the rest. i think this happens and then the next full release download overwrites it... i have 1.1.0-1.8.1 now!) and tested-- it crashed and took a moment but when it crashed and i opened again, synth v had its backup and it was actually all there, loaded in? so. i guess it works lol

    i also wonder to maybe "neutralize" the newer files for older ones, if running it through utaformatix would do anything? idk what itd do to a svp to svp. i will have to test if putting a 1.9 beta file in there will make it work with older versions

    when the installers aren't numbered it's real annoying ( especially cuz I go back and forth between them cuz there are pros and cons to the prior versions of the editor ), hopefully I'm not being redundant but if you look into the properties of the file, it should tell you the installer version!

    morrysillusion
    ah i hadnt checked the properties for that, just installed it and checked :P which wasnt an issue cuz i had all the others... but i feel like they changed the naming?? i feel like before each installer just... came named with a version number and now the new ones just replace each other? its weird they they do this when they at least allow old versions of the voicebanks to be swapped easily, why not allow the same for the program itself? though admittedly, most software doesnt host old versions either...

    theres one key issue i keep running into w synth v that i cant imagine is anything but a bug, but when i swap to the cursor and note bending on the timeline, the click and drag box sometimes just stops working. i can no longer select a large area of the nodes on the timeline and only select by clicking on each individual note.... this is still in the 1.9 beta as well so idk if this is getting fixed or what
    i shared this on the forum like 3 years ago but thinking about flower songs and this was always a big fave for me esp as an early flower song i feel it didnt get much love...

    this is such a bop 😭 lemme insert my personal favorite Flower original ( which I've previously shared and won't stop cuz it's criminally underrated )

    yes!! i love that one too...!!

    ages back when flower wasnt popular i had been making a list of every flower song i could find, which wasnt many back then!! so many good gems. i thought i deleted the list but its here! looks like i actually updated it randomly in 2019 too but i started it in September 2016. started it by going to the oldest videos of flower on nico/yt and once i went through those i went for whatever release i found lol.
    pleasantly surprised im really into circus' new song (no its not just bc its flower lol). im not the biggest fan of circus these days really, didnt think id be into the new song just bc it has flower. but i think its probably my favorite circus song in the last years that is really in my head now. plus rice's video for it is very good, and i am also a fan of the meta themes

    This is not hate at all but I have just never really been a fan of Circus’s music. I was so pleasantly surprised, I really really liked this new song.

    nah i get that, i wouldnt take it as hate- ppl have different tastes. and i also think thats why i havent been super into his stuff over the years-- i was very very into it when i was 13-16 because i was more into the general vocaloid hype rather than the genre. but circus' music isnt what i really play these days in general. but this one for sure got my attention more than usual
    oh :( lite version doesnt have vocal modes. i guess thats makes sense but a little sad by that

    Have you never used Basic before? (says someone who's ONLY used basic)

    i havent used basic (or well i did, ages ago?), i own pro so thats what i use @AmazingStrange39 its mostly annoying that certain features still arent able to be tested in pro tbh :/ itd be nice if one of them was available at least, to see how the feature works (for those who dont have one with vocal modes!)

    ah, i guess i'm...reverse-spoiled by only having experience with basic
    not an unpopular onion i just had this come to mind when i glanced through-- but its interesting i never really see ppl think about or even theorize on why an AI voice would sound so different from its previous non-AI voice, because it is kind of typical for no-AI voices to basically reflect like.. The key sound of that person with no influence on how they may sound normally- talking or singing in an outside context that isnt short samples? thats basically why. i feel like the most blatant comparison was Dex compared to his provider. theyre even featured in songs together and theres many parts where i can hear "dex" in Lupin, where dex as constantly reflects that unique tone through the song. at first they sound different until you pick it up in Lupin's voice.

    with flower- i dont think Ci Flower was actually trying to be that different from v flower, have you heard her x voice samples? the spoken recordings? i remember getting those and thinking "wow that doesnt sound like flower at all" and they were the first example of what her VP sounds like outside of the vocaloid bank. Her voice samples sound WAY more akin to her Talk bank and later on Ci flower. this shouldnt exactly be a shock to hear because its been showcased before. Vocaloid flower took that unique tone that appears sometimes, and made it constant, because every individual sample made for a non-AI is way more likely to do so.

    it happens with my own UTAU and im sure it happens with everyone else, as much as the bank still sounds like you. that is like, the exact reason any of these banks would sound more and less like each other- even a voice as unique as Teto managing to get the right sound, its still different and i feel the places where it is different are for that reason. the samples for AI voicebanks will never be as "exact" as the non_AI ones (they could potentially, with different or more data of some kind).
    was listening to abuseken's stuff again as theyre probably one of my fave artists and forgot in 2020 they posted a song and mentioned they had turned 18. now its no surprise to find such young artists of course- theres a lot of them in the voca fandom. i guess what hit me most tho was hearing the subjects and themes of their songs and realizing how young they are.... like sure id be jamming to that at 18 thinking how relatable it is but im older and things have gotten better. so i cant help but really feel for the younger artists putting out their raw feelings while still dealing with such issues actively in their life. i got older and i found safety and a better life so i hope that happens for all those kids out there venting into their art.
