Friend: OMG! you have to listen to this vocaloid song, the message is so deep, so existencial, makes you think

Me: ok, let's give it a try

The song:

Which email address do you think would be better for sending a figure idea to CFM?
There's one for vocal synth inquiries, and one for everything else.
I went on NicoNico and searched up "MEIKO_ENGLISH", there's surprisingly plenty of content. It is all old videos, but it's a lot more than what you can find on YouTube.
Didn't have much luck with searching "Luka English" though.
I want to discover more work featuring classic English voice DBs. I don't mind covers, I just want to listen to the unique machine noise of a pre-AI Vocaloid.
I must say though, AI voicebanks handle bass sound and lower notes much better.
Do you guys use voice parameters inside singer editor? (vocaloid4)

Not too much. I feel like you can probably get a better result if you do, but I don't tune very much yet.

My general theory is that plugins should be used to make the largest adjustments to how a voice sounds (like, overall timbre), and the parameters are for making the more organic variations that occur during the course of the song.

Happy to hear other ideas, through, because my vocal manipulation probably could be a lot better.

I've been using it for the past few years, i notice that it is exactly the same thing as parameters below the piano roll. At first, i don't know why it should exist since it offer no advantage over the control parameters below the piano roll, but now. I think it is the most convenient thing because i probably spend less than 10seconds to set the values and it will stay that way for the entire songs and i can save it as voice presets too which is a huge time saving.

@mobius017 I think it's all about workflow, i prefer to shape the tone during mixing but some users prefer to manipulate their favourite VBs inside vocaloid editor as @Mika mentioned, but in my opinion, i find it work best if i combined this two methods together.

Some parameters like Breathiness and Clearness i don't really like it at first (i don't think it sound good at all. . .), but my opinion has changed a lot, it actually very useful.
i wish i could have some params like exciter, expression in vocaloid 4 but that's not gonna happen.

Some voicebanks will have the most benefits from these control parameters adjustment as Mika mentioned it really helps.
I truly believe that using a few voicebanks that you know them well and can you control it like your hands is the best parth to go.

Oh, re-reading this, I just realized that you meant the overall singer parameters rather than the tuning area under the piano roll. Yeah, the overall parameters are all about making presets.

I'm pretty sure those stack with what you do in the tuning area, too, so you can push a parameter value twice as far. (Going that far might not be a good idea most of the time, but I'm pretty sure that was how I observed it working.)

As Eurovision is within two weeks or so, just a reminder I personally feel this one is so slept on, even though I do admit there are better and more memorable songs but iunno why it hypnotizes me (and I still miss the random weird ice cream cones dancers from the original video it would have been lolzier)
i still wonder what in the world happened to gackpo's popularity

he went from a member of the Big 8 to basically dropping off the face of the earth with a lot of newer fans not even knowing who he is :gackpo_ani_lili:

In 2007, ika posted their denpa magnum opus, "Miku Miku ni Shite ageru" . The title as taken literally has no specific meaning, and this invited discussion as to what "Miku-Mikuing" someone would entail. As of 2024, Sawtowne finally gave what may be the most satisfying answer:
MIKU MIKU BEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAM
Happy birthday~ 🎂 🍰
