Okay...I think I'm going to finally set on getting a HDD for my laptop. For my Music/Videos/and spare copies of my vocaloids and editors with a doc of all their codes. Than maybe I'll just get a yearly Onedrive of 100 GB for just my Word docs of my fanfics and original stories attempts (only like 1 complete novel...lol, and a halfway done one from long time ago)
There is a Toshiba Canvio Basic of 2TB I'm thinking of getting, but it's in Amazon. Or a 2TB Western Digital from bestbuy....I just need to remember my password...:kyo_ani_lili:
someone save the cryptonloids from piapro nt, i just listened to cute na kanojo from proseka WTAF did they do to Luka :kaito_lili::kaito_lili::kaito_lili:
I think judging voicebanks from demo is like judging book from cover. Why don't people just try it themselves before give an opinion. Bashing vbs without even try is not cool.

i get the sentiment, but it's kinda difficult for ppl to try every voice themselves when not every vb has a trial version :x

I mean you have a point...

but why does Books have cover in first place?

Wait. Not every vb has trials? which one?
If that so, i think people can still search original songs or covers on internet. Although, some new vb might take a little longer for people to start using it.

@VyNancyV6 The "true" purpose of book cover is to protect the pages behind that cover. Simple as the name suggest, but we put design on it to make it more appealing and increase sale. Meanwhile it letting you know what type of book lies within the pages and whether it's for you using some quick visual cues.

The way peoples bashing vb is like calling any DAW suck a** because they don't know how to use them and they don't want to spend time learning it either. I find that unfair to any companies, at least give them a chance, try them thoroughly and then giving an opinion.

I use to hate Reaper but the more i learn about it the more i love it. Although it's not perfect, but i accepted the way how it work as it is.
Starting to refine my Vocaloids' personalities:
-Miku is outgoing, kind, intelligent and altruistic.
-Gumi is laid-back, easy-going and cheerful, an optimist who goes with the flow.
-Avanna is gentle, reserved and polite, with a heart of gold.
-Not a Vocaloid, but Teto is cheerful, eager, and determined, with a mischievous streak and a desire to prove herself. (also she's really fun to draw)

Awww, Avanna is so cute! *3 She deserves the world. My HC is if Avanna was a superhero she would have plant superpowers, but would use them to heal not to cause harm (Except for needed situations (Pretty much like that plant girl from Sky High, man that movie is chaotic and pretty good))
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

But I'll look again into the hdd, since I only looked a bit in Walmart of them long while ago. :mikiv4_lili:
Everyday I log on in hopes of Miki synth V news and every day I leave sad :<
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.
