  • I somehow keep underestimating exactly how bad I am at art until I decide it'd be fun to draw again... I've already invested so much time into three more My Ship in Five Minutes memes that I can't turn back now, but my GOD I should never be allowed to attempt art again.

    ftzguio youre allowed to have fun, no one needs to be the best and most amazing at everything.

    True, I guess... it's just I want to post stuff I work so hard on, and no matter how much time I spend on art it inevitably looks like a ten-minute bastardization by a twelve-year-old. If I don't post it, it rots in my computer and I wasted all that time for nothing, but if I do post it, everyone sees how talentless I am and laughs and/or cringes.

    imo I don't think youre talentless and you certainly arent a lost cause, if youre unhappy with the way your art looks now you have the potential to improve and I'm sure people will cheer you on.
    So there wasn't just ice, it ended up snowing. There's a whole quarter-inch of snow outside. Every single school in the Arkansas River Valley is indefinitely closed as a result. This is amazing.
    Ah, the south. We're so ill-equipped to handle cold weather that all of the schools here, public, private, and post-secondary, have been cancelled tomorrow because there might be ice.

    Sometimes life here has its perks. Sometimes.
    Haiyi's SynthV icon is so small... I wonder if I could replace it? It looks kinda blurry even in the editor itself.

    Anyway, how's it sounding so far? Decent? Worse than a cold French horn?

    Tbh I think it's good as-is for now! Maybe give her just a tad bit more gain on the music? There are a few parts where it's close to drowning her out, but it may just be my speakers/ears :')

    Wish me luck... there was a Sales Associate position open at my favorite store in the mall, so I just sent in an application. I don't have any retail experience, but I have a lot of experience dealing with people one-on-one and even handling money, as well as decent math skills, so I'm hoping and praying that's good enough...

    You got this Peaches!! Call them after a few days to ask after your application. Any job I've ever gotten, I never got a call-back but was immediately asked to come in for an interview after I called to ask about it. Shows interest and drive, or something like that :P
    My mother's adamant that I'm unemployed because I'm lazy and too entitled to take a job in the service industry. No, mother, working anywhere with an abundance of loud noising and screaming employers is literally impossible for an autistic person, everywhere else I've applied to has turned me down, and I have no real-world applicable skills. Thanks for reminding me.
    YouTube has been dutifully filling my feed with Mandopop recommendations. I think this one's my favorite so far!
    This has been weighing on my mind for a while, so I'm just gonna come out and say it.

    I feel like whoever designed this year's Snow Miku has never heard what a French horn sounds like when it's cold. It's not cute. It sounds like the very gates of Hell are being pried open by the clawed fingers of the damned.

    This year's design is so cute, but that's literally all I can think about when I see it. :ROFL:

    I honestly think it's a lot easier. I like the parameters better for the most part because making the singers expressive is so much simpler. I wish it had a wider variety of vibrato options (the Vibrato parameter basically lets you adjust the depth of the vibrato but not the rate), and fiddling with the timing of notes is more complicated because there's no Velocity parameter, but otherwise I think it's great! (I honestly heavily prefer it to the Vocaloid editor.)

    In particular, when drawing in pitch bends, you can adjust the screen so that your lines overlay the notes you're working with; that makes seeing what you're doing SO much easier to gauge.

    Hope my two cents are ok as well! I agree with Peaches the parameters are much nicer and imo sound more organic than in Vocaloid, the learning curve isnt steep at all and the vocals sound pretty alright untuned so its super friendly towards beginners! It has some downsides but nothing outrageous, one of the more major complains I have besides the velocity is that it's growl/vocal fry sounds pretty bad and the inetrface is a bit clunky, especially the multitrack system but yeah overall it's a pretty solid vocalsynth and it's honestly easier to get started with than Vocaloid, tbh I think you'll have good time using it.
    peaches2217
    peaches2217
    Yeah, the growl function leaves a LOT to be desired. It's great if you want to make harsh metal-style vocals, but worthless if you're just trying to add a bit of punch to otherwise clean vocals. Switching between tracks does kinda suck too; I reprogrammed the interface a little so I can easily switch through tracks by pressing the arrow keys, and that's the best work-around I've found.

    I'm gonna put this under an in-text spoiler for NSFW content:

    How do you approach someone and say "Hello, I'm currently writing a chapter about two ageless androids who present as young men fucking passionately. Could you briefly ignore the oddity of the topic and give it a glance-over and maybe some practical feedback?"

    Because my GOD my smut is awful, but by way of it being smut I still get good reviews, so I don't know how to improve, and I don't have the nerve to make anyone read it while it's still in progress because my WIPs are usually awful.

    So long as they 'present' as consenting adults, I'm sure you'll find plenty of proofreaders.
    I've just gotta play the waiting game to get Haiyi's code. In the meantime, I added her to my collection and hung up the folder I got off eBay (it's too thin to be useful, but it makes a perfect piece of wall art!).


    So, Haiyi's here! But I missed a step, and I don't have her serial code. I emailed Superbuy to see if they can contact Quadimension so I can get her code, but it'll be another day or two...

    These past few days have just... sucked.
    @xuu are the SynthV vocals supposed to come with a registration code? Because I kinda... didn't get one.

    You're supposed to leave your email in the message to the seller section. Message your Superbuy handler and they should be able to get in contact with Quadimension to get you a code

    I didn't realize there was a message to seller section... I'm a moron. \(^o^)/ I'll remember that next time. I went ahead and messaged Superbuy, explaining the issue and giving them my order number. It's midnight there right now so it'll be a while. Thank you!!

    So much!! It was the last anime I watched on a weekly basis as it came out. It had silly and annoying tropes at times, but it really was so pure at its base, and I loved their dynamic ;;

    Yeah, but it's such a small section of song I figured it'd be worth it to experiment around. It's a much quicker process in SynthV than it is in Vocaloid, I think. And I agree, her voice is just so good!

    Haiyi’s in Little Rock, so there’s a chance, however small, I might get her today! I won’t hold out hope too much, because it’s almost guaranteed she’ll be here tomorrow. But I’m so excited!!
    peaches2217

    Good Lord. Actually, that’s happened with me before, with Miku and Rin/Len: I paid for expedited shipping on both, and both map-hopped and eventually showed up two weeks after their expected arrival date. Miku was particularly bad - she made it into Arkansas, and then they SHIPPED HER TO TEXAS before shipping her back to Arkansas again.

    And that’s why you never order physical products from BFA.

    I hope Moke gets to you safely and soon!

    I'm sorry! I think it's because of the fact that the far east is thick in the celebration of New Year's still. California probably gets a lot of questionable imports this time of year, so they might feel they need to be more careful. I'll check up on Buyee and make sure it's still going smoothly!
