I was chatting to a friend on Discord this morning about how much we missed forums compared to social media, and it made me feel really nostalgic for both FanFiction.Net and DeviantART's forums. (Yes, those sites had separate forum pages! They were kinda hidden in tabs on the top of their...

You've just reminded me of the pain I used to experience around 2009 or so, when I'd sometimes come across people who'd stan Miku (for example), but literally didn't know any other Vocaloid other than her, and this was way back when the Vocaloid product pool was tinier than today. It got to a...

1st Place have announced that IA V6 has been in the works, and will be properly revealed on 15th December! I've never been a big fan of IA's quality on CeVIO, and it's long bothered me that the only English version of her available was stuck on CeVIO, even though its quality at the time was a...

1st Place have announced that IA V6 has been in the works, and will be properly revealed on 15th December! Speaking as someone who was never a huge fan of IA's CeVIO voice... My body is ready. (Even though people love to bash V6's quality.)

My issue with modern Vocaloid songs as a fandom oldie is that they're just not as memorable as the songs that were published between 2008 and c. 2015. Might be just my age and a lack of time to really dig around for new songs compared to when I was younger, but newer songs simply don't stick...

Wasn't sure whether to post this on this thread or as a status, but I wanted to discuss the infamous 'CryDie' again - namely, the remake by TaroTaro and Phi. Nothing serious, more of an observation I'm not sure enough people are touching on. For the record, I think the remix is amazing for what...

I'm pretty sure the Yamaha demos are literally just Rei's UTAU samples processed quickly through Vocaloid. I presume any final Vocaloid bank would sound both closer to and higher quality than her DiffSinger and DeepVocal banks.

I think Big Al is one of those banks that simply fell victim to the passage of time. Back in the V2 and V3 era, he was pretty much the only deep toned male VB available, so people quickly went to him if they needed a song that called for his voice type. But nowadays, we have banks like Asterian...

I saw the Rei demos on my YouTube, and I had no clue what Yamaha had posted at first because I can't read Japanese. I won't lie, I nearly peed myself a bit when I realised I was hearing Rei in V6. :ROFL: I'm actually glad V6 was picked over SynthV this time. Rei's voice was intentionally...

I saw this and I immediately thought Yamaha were trying to a pull a CeVIO/VoiSona with Vocaloid. The voices are fine, but those "avatars" are so lame and unfitting! I'd be down for a revival of the stock image era of Vocaloid (nowadays, we either get anime avatars, silhouettes or Dreamtonics's...

For that matter, I'd love to hear Welsh and Irish-accented English VBs! (Avanna's VP was speculated to be from Dublin(?), but you can't really hear an Irish accent in her bank at all). I'd say we have Australian accents covered with Ninezero (though Sweet Ann's VP was supposedly Australian as...

Knowing that Gemvox was quickly caught out for using obvious AI backgrounds on their official demo uploads, I wouldn't be surprised if Sapphire's art was also the same case. It doesn't help that her art doesn't match with Topaz's at all (despite it being really... iffy, it was still done by a...

I agree, and not to mention there's so many UTAUs and similar free/open source VBs out there of varying quality that a thread like this would easily get bogged down by obscure banks most of us haven't heard of. (It's why I mostly stick to talking about professional, paid banks when it comes to...

I find Nemu to be a step up from Tone Rion (who I found to be legit obnoxious, especially on V3), but her voice type is definitely an acquired taste. I can't say I legitimately hate any voice synth. There's certain voice types I dislike more than others (such as what I can only describe as...

Sapphire sounds good, but it's Gemvox, so I'm just gonna ignore her lol. And yeah, is there no demo available for Hisui? (I also find it funny how they share the same name as the historic name for Sinnoh in Pokemon Legends: Arceus).

Already, I'm happy with how Miku V6 sounds - it's basically Miku's default VB on an AI engine, which is what most of us wanted. (I'm also glad it doesn't sound like NT lol). I could hear some fuzziness in the demo, but I think that's just V6's engine noise. I wasn't expecting SynthV's quality...

I'm genuinely not surprised this project has struggled to the point that the new dev team are almost about to discard the previous code and start again. I can still remember when Maghni was originally announced and almost everyone on here (including myself) gave the project a side-eye because of...

Ooof, definitely heard the dreaded NT buzziness too. It just confirms what I've previously said about NT not handling softer voices well.
