Haven't posted here in a VERY long time, wow.... How about a long, blog post update to make up for it?
UTAU
Last year, I released two new UTAUs. My main UTAU also got a much needed update.
I have three wip voicebanks in the works, one is very close to release!
My
UTAU blog started getting a lot more attention last fall-a lot of really active people in the community talk about it on discord and Twitter too !
(feeling blessed) I'm not as active in the UTAU community as I once was and now just follow my friends and a few producers, but I'm content.
Vocaloid
I celebrated Cyber Songman's anniversary in October! It also ended up being in a Cyber Songman compilation, which is nuts to me...
I got put in a compilation next to some of my favorite producers :0
I started posting things with Kaito and Kiyoteru, who I got early last year (I've had my Kaito for over an entire year! That's crazy!)
For Kaito's birthday, I posted 3 videos, one for each anniversary he has. I posted them to VVN already, but here they are together.
I haven't bought any new Vocaloids in a long time because I got a little burnt out on it...I did attempt to buy a boxed copy of Merli early in 2020 but the package got lost in transit. Fortunately, I got refunded. I regret not looking into getting Avanna's boxed edition because I didn't know it was still being sold when I bought her. All my Vocaloids are digital and I would love to have more boxes to display (haven't looked into buying my own cases for them yet)
Overall, I lost a lot of my drive to create stuff in 2020. :( At least 2021 is better already? I've finally gotten more comfortable with video editing and more talented at using Vocaloid. I wanted to get more UTAU stuff done this year, but quarantine is making it hard to record.
If you read all this, thank you! I really like the organization of having all your covers in a forum post, so I'll try and keep this thread more active
