By "professional producers" i mean music producers that aren't in the Vocaloid fandom. (this isn't to say producers in the Western Vocaloid fandom are inexperienced by default)
But yeah, why do you think there aren't more non-fandom usages of English Vocaloids? (like that one time Porter Robinson used Avanna, that one time S3RL used Sonika, e.t.c)
Personally, i think that if:
-the software had better DAW implementation, (which it allegedly doesn't, IIRC, please correct me if that's changed)
-the software was easier to use and control, (like if you had more ways of fine-tuning phonemes and pronunciation instead of being stuck with whatever the engine renders)
-and if the end-product vocals sounded better, (im sorry, but as much as i love Engloids, you really have to know exactly how to tune them in order to get them to sound good, and even then, they're an acquired taste)
I really don't think there's any reason why it wouldn't be commonly used. Ive heard the argument that people don't use Engloids because the anime character designs turn them away, but honestly i think the reasons they're turned away are a bit deeper than that. (such as the software not producing good results)
What do you guys think?
Do you think it's because the anime personifications turn them away?
Do you think it's because the software is hard to use?
Do you think it's because English Vocaloids don't sound very good?
I wanna hear your take on it.
