Thank you Kazumi!! I just get deeply discouraged. I tend to get very lukewarm reception, and I find myself wanting to be better than I could ever realistically hope to be; when I fail to meet the ridiculously high standards I set for myself, I kinda shut down. But you're right: we're our own worst enemies. All I can do is keep my head up and keep trying! I'll get there one day.
I encourage you to keep going and trying new things!! And, if you ever want some tuning tips you're welcome to ask me; even thoiugh I still don't think my Vocaloid tuning is that good and don't know how much help I can be, I've been trying some new things and wouldn't mind sharing them!
