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.

I agree about how AI control the lower note, it feel like they don't even have optimal singing range at all.
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:
Outside the venue for Miku Expo in Denver. \o/
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~ 🎂 🍰

3 days until Shiki Rowen's VOCALOID6 releases. It's almost like counting to doomsday.
So...I'm still trying to process what just almost happened to our (my family's) house
To make a long story short, someone or something set fire to our backyard and it spread (our backyard is basically a long stretch of green land shared between our neighbors)
Nobody was hurt except for our grandma, she cut her toe on a broken tile (she's fine now)

Here's some images (the seventh one is Grandma trying to put out the fire, and the second one is how many fire extinguishers we used):

EDIT:
Emergency services were also called. I had to stay in the house to look after my baby brother, so...

I know thailand can get very hot during summer but this seem like a man made fire since your backyard look fresh and green. เหตุการ์ณแบบนี้รุนแรงมาก ฉันหวังเป็นอย่างยิ่งว่าตำรวจนำตัวผู้กระทำผิดมาดำเนินคดีตามกฏหมาย.

i'm sorry for that.. but at least your grandma is fine and nobody got injured in that big fire..
it could have been somebody or something, but I recommend some things to better prepare:
- buy a smoke sensor (linked to remote alarm) and surveillance camera to look your backyard and record any suspicious actions
- buy some sand bags and put them between your house and the backyard, they can protect a lot against fire
- fire extinguishers can do very little, think that usually one is only rated for about 1 square meter. better use the water source from your house and something with good water pressure. buy also some fire guard blankets, safe gloves and smoke masks, prevention is key

@MagicalMiku Thank you so much for the advice! I'm currently looking into fire guard blankets right now—they seem pretty neat!


EDIT:
Also, I just made a to-do list of the things you recommended!
