I'm kind of curious about people's thoughts on electronic picture frames. Does anyone have one/know someone who does?
I feel like these came out and then sort of disappeared, except for the ones that reappeared more recently with videoconferencing functions (e.g., the Alexa one or the Facebook one).
There was always a part of me that thought they'd be kind of cool for showcasing anime/vocal synth artwork. They'd be more or less inconspicuous, and they could store as many of your favorite pics as you need. Especially if they had a slideshow feature, they would also be really good if you liked a lot of art/pics, but had limited space.
But I never really pulled the trigger on getting one. To begin with, they're electronic, so you have to have either a battery or plug them in. If you think about it, most of the pictures in your home are probably things you don't look at every day. So something that draws power constantly seemed inefficient. The other thing is, I think wall-mounted pictures/posters/etc. are really only appealing if they're available the moment you want to see them. If you can't just look up and see them, for me at least, it seems like there's little point. In the little research I did, electronic frames don't seem to show their pics all the time (to save power/the battery/prevent burning-in of the screen, I suppose).
I don't know, those are just my thoughts. To be honest, I'm not really considering getting one at this point, but I've been curious for awhile what other people think/how popular the electronic frames are.

This song used to have coherent color coding of its various regions in my DAW.
Somehow, it no longer does

Working on tuning a cover of “a night of rain and stars” aka my favorite ilem song with Feng Yi
Hear me out if Macne Nana synth v does happen and she doesn’t bring French support we ride at dawn
This is all theoretical

Why do people expect Vocaloid\UTAU voice to sound the same once it's been remade into AI?
It's already been made clear that the voice providers sound different than the old synthesizers.
Why put in such an expectation? Vflower's voice is clearly machine-sounding and all of it's traits are due to the compressed nature of the samples + the Vocaloid3/4 engine warping them.
Of course the VP can't sound the same. I see people make remarks about UTAU Ritsu sounding better than the AI Ritsus when it's clear that the UTAU VB samples were cherrypicked to sound consistently shout-y to a non-human level. Nobody sings like that. Canon doesn't scream when she sings, it'd strain the voice too much. Of course the UTAU is going to always sound powerful when the samples were made and picked to sound that way.
I think it's unreasonable that people think the AI is simply going to be "automatic tuning generator" when the AI is actually a recreation of the voice provider's singing.
Training an AI voice directly on top of the UTAU rendered voice is going to make it sound low-quality due to the double synthesizing.
I get that we all have nostalgia for the old chunky sound of a previous generation synth, but AI is more welcoming to producers who don't want to deal with all the manual tuning. It's simply easier to use and sounds better by default.
And we can still keep our copies of the old previous gen synth.

pros of synthv being so good: it being so good
cons of synthv being so good: when i use any other synth, i keep thinking how easy working in synthv is and getting lazy 🦥

Mai latest wip because mixing the medley is hell on earth lol so Im taking a long break... first time using Mai and I'm not that big a fan? shes good but lots of loud recordings that you have to fix and she handles pitch way differently than Feng Yi but the price can't be beat! Shes a place holder until Miki is released :) I tried to base the tuning on Shizuku (feng Yi... which is what I try to tune Feng yi like anyway sooooo) and Airi (Mai) from project sekai for this song ;-;
Just heard about someone delayed due to mechanical issues on multiple airlines during the same trip. (Plane wasn't broken the second time, though.)
I have a new business idea.
There's also a supersonic model.
'Cause we need good, clean, reliable, well-maintained, non-outrageously-expensive transportation.

The vocal synth collectors thread has taken quite a shape! Several synths got completed 100%, several above 60%, missing Cantor and much of V2, V3 and Voisona.

Resource - Vocal Synth & Voice Bank Physical CD Collectors Thread
Do you prefer having a vocal synthesizer, or voice banks thereof, sitting on your shelf, rather than digital downloads? Perhaps, you barely even compose music at all, but you still enjoy collecting your favorite singing robots, just like others collect their favorite video games! One day, your...

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...

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.
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)

I'm already seeing more hype around to xi because of butcher vanity another w for SynthV
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.
