VSynth status when you became a fan/producer?
When I wandered into the fandom way back in 2008, Miku and Vocaloid were exploding like crazy and outsiders were extremely confused as to what it was actually about. Technology-wise, vocal synth software was pretty choppy in terms of phoneme transitions and had a long way to go before VBs...- Blue Of Mind

SynthV SynthV AI Yuma & Natalie
Did anyone else think VY2 got ported to SynthV when they saw the title? Lol. When I first heard Yuma, I immediately thought he would be a likely future candidate as a "fangirl bait" VB. (If the first party SynthVs had traditional avatars, I could see him having a pretty boy popstar design.)...- Blue Of Mind

Had to go look up PeerTube just now, but a vocal synth community running on a decentralised/open source platform that's already been coded would be cool! Speaking as someone who's owned a YouTube account for around 13 years now, I've experienced all sorts of problems on there, ranging from the...- Blue Of Mind

VocaDB sort of does this already, but it's far more like the Vocaloid equivalent of Discogs rather than anything that encourages community discussions. (It's very handy for looking up and keeping track of what songs and albums producers have released, however!)- Blue Of Mind

I miss the days of sites like dA being massive fandom hubs, despite their reputation of being cringe. Tumblr was something of a last stand against an increasingly centralised internet as it still embodied that 2000s fandom spirit, but the userbase quickly gained a... reputation, so to speak. And...- Blue Of Mind

Being An Anime Fan in the Early 2000s and The Lead-up to Vocaloid
I was still really little back when everyone was struggling to access anime in the late 90s and early 2000s, but I did see all the entry-tier stuff like Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, etc. since I was lucky enough to have Sky satellite. I did notice a change by the late 2000s though - at...- Blue Of Mind

The centralisation of the internet to something like three or four big social media platforms, along with algorithms that favour short content, has killed off a lot of aspects of old school internet that Vocaloid initially caught the tail end of, yet still thrived on. I should probably explain...- Blue Of Mind

V5 goes back to Yamaha's original intention with Vocaloid way back in V1, in that it's aimed at more professional producers rather than hobbyists like V2 to V4 were. Considering how the Western fandom originally sprung up from masses of fan content, that decision has alienated them from Yamaha...- Blue Of Mind

Other Software SymphOneme Discussion thread
I was originally wondering if the wrong song was used for their beta demos because of how strained they all sound on the high notes, but sheesh. It's definitely a... sound. Lol. It almost reminds me of a worse, pitchy version of CeVIO.- Blue Of Mind

Unconventional opinions
Apologies for reviving an old thread with a reply to my own post, but I've been doing some more thinking on this subject since I originally wrote it up. I wouldn't say my views have done a complete 180, but I have developed more of a nuance regarding it. I think the biggest mistake I made...- Blue Of Mind
