    I don't think phoneme edits are a bad thing by any means, and are really useful in cases like swapping [t] for a [d] or something for smoothness' sake and for the occasiona vowel swap! I think it has to be said though, that the more intricate and complex phoneme editing tends to only make a...

    I noticed there’s a huge overemphasis on phoneme editing within non-native ENG VB user circles, and oftentimes it comes down to trying to Americanise or reduce their native accent. I personally think American being the standard accent that people try force voicebanks into is both a futile effort...

    FEE- CeVIO AI Talk announced by U-Stella Inc.

    UTAU is pretty much irrelevant in the context of arguments like this, with it not being a commercial synth. There's no regulation (unless you count community blacklisting and callouts) with UTAU, whereas with something like FEE and CeVIO, they've gone through the process of getting permission to...

    What are your most streamed artists of all time?

    I use spotify so inconsistently, so those would be no use for me - but i’ll answer anyway! Based on physical CDs and vinyls that I own (and frequently listen to), it’s something like: • SOPHIE • Caroline Polachek • FKA twigs • ARCA • Cecile Believe • Kelela • Charli XCX • Rina Sawayama •...

    What is your non vocal synth song-vocal synth song ratio?

    I used to listen to 90% synth songs back when i first started stanning, but as i’ve gotten older it’s flipped to 90% non-synth songs as i’ve gotten older. As i said in another thread, I only tend to listen to synth songs if I’m covering that particular song—or if i feel a pang of nostalgia and...

    It’s looking pretty damn good so far, Kazumi! And may I just say… Seeing Defoko in an art piece is most pleasing to me 😌

    What was the first vocal synth song you've ever listened to?

    This gem! Even after 8 or so years it still has a place in my heart as the one that started it all for me.

    【Meika Hime】odds and ends

    Good job on the cover, Cdr!! and Hime is probably one of the cutest/moe sounding voicebanks we have! It's probably harder to make her sound mature than anything.

    Other Upcoming AI singing synthesizer "AmadeuSY" (Originally: Voicing)

    Yup. I have more hope that Akesato will sound better since her voice provider is much more competent, but leading with Ritsu is a good move to attract fandom people.

    Other Upcoming AI singing synthesizer "AmadeuSY" (Originally: Voicing)

    Hold on... Akesato (and Hakupo) are coming soon? Consider me mildly perched! It doesn't help that Canon isn't a great vocalist, but pitchiness and canon-isms aside, I'm very pleasantly surprised at how clean the latest one sounds!

    SynthV supremacy is probably more of a popular opinion than anything—at least on the western side of things.

    The VOCALOID community has a history when it comes to being iffy around VSTs, plugins, etc 😩 I remember a point when people were icky about Melodyne because people assumed that's how Mitchie M got his tuning so 'realistic', when it's merely just an incredibly useful pitch correction program...
