I finally got Word again after so many years without it, like a week ago...but the day after Onedrive is expired and I have like a month or 2 left before I lose so many important stuff (like V4 to V6... and FL Studio) just my luck!! 😭
I still need to get a better SSD for my laptop. But I think I need to get something else that will save all my files to transfer to the new ssd? *sigh* unless i bite the bullet and just buy a yearly onedrive.

exactly, I agree to both of you! ^^
synology nas is a very very good backup option, I'd just recommend to have another hard drive disconnected from power (a thunderstorm for example can cause problems).
and the "bit riot" of hard drive is correct, also being them a mechanical thing, is always better to make them run once every 6 months. thankfully, if some bits are being corrupted, most of times a media file (document, photo or video) can still be opened and viewed, and with utilities like crystaldiskinfo is possible to check how well a hdd is going.
I usually use hdd from Western Digital and Toshiba, never had any failed hdd. Only 2 times I had a broken hdd brand-new but because I ordered from amazon and the package was terrible. whenever possible, I always recommend to buy from a local pc store.
and I was curious about the "1 year life" of ssd, and actually tried on a mini pc with 1 tb ssd on it: kept it off for 1 year, kept at room temperature, and after 1 year, many system files were corrupted and some personal folders were missing.

I usually make a tier list of my files and then backup them accordingly:
tier 1) most important personal files (documents, photos, videos, anything that is really valuable and personal)
backup at least in 2-3 different external hard drives, plus dvd/blu-ray disc, free cloud storage (all encrypted in 7zip files) and buy new backup hdd every 3-5 years
tier 2) important files but that I can have them again (for example flac backup rips of cd audio, backup of blu ray concerts, pixiv image galleries of my favorite artists)
backup in 2-3 different external hard drives, some blu-ray discs and even some usb pendrive (the 128/256gb are very cheap, I know is not a safe backup option, but for that price it's ok)
tier 3) files that I have for convenience of not downloading them again (think of software setup files, game installs, ..)
backup in 2 external hard drives, usually I use older hard drive from tier 2 for this

I only have a laptop. A lenovo yoga laptop since I got it after years with my Toshiba laptop like 3 years ago? It's not a perfect laptop but i really wanted a laptop and chose it right away from bestbuy.
Sometimes been thinking of buying the stuff to buy a custom PC, but that's a far goal since I already have a long list of stuff to get. X D

How a melodyne can cost this much, especially the full version, is like 699-899usd. . .

IKR, like FL Studio if you want the most needed plugins (at least they have cheaper yet limited formula, but still....)

In my opinion, FL complete bundle price is reasonable (more towards the expensive side) it have tons of plugins, instrument and goodies like soundbank pack etc, but the price of melodyne is questionable. I mean.... At the core it just a plugin(or standalone) that made purposely to fix someone else's problem.

699-899usd in some country is more than enough to build a decent studio.

Although some DAW like S1 their best version is like 299usd(iirc) and the big name DAW like cubase, the best version is cost like 600usd. It's still cheaper than melodyne i find that very funny.

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:
