just a summary of the more recent hazuki/cero stuff. Disclaimer: don't have receipts for most of it, and didn't see the 'apology' video before it was taken down

>2018, Cero starts uploading translations on his channel.

>After a while the videos start including both cero's logo and hazuki's hidden in them, usually pretty faintly but it's still obvious the two are still working together on translations/subs
>Meanwhile, a lot of different channels have been reuploading hazuki's old translations. Links to a large archive of videos are posted on reddit

Things seem calm for a while, with Hazuki & Cero translating a range of songs from big producers like DECO*27 to lesser known ones

Then, earlier this month, Kaja released Unclosed Human, a wowaka tribute song that was a collab between a number of producers including cillia

>Hazuki & Cero sub and reupload the song on Cero's channel and are called out for it, hard, for reuploading without asking Kaja's permission

>They make a community post on youtube that's half an apology, half trying to justify themselves by pointing out issues with youtube's captioning system e.g. a lot of producers don't enable it, accuracy of translations because anyone can upload, etc
>(I think they also took the video down before this, not 100% though)
>Mostly negative response from the community
>Then they did a livestream titled "An Apology" where:

"They made a short speech about how it was unethical to translate/reprint without permission.

-They noted that they had never asked for permission for any of the videos on their channel, but now understood it was unacceptable…

-…And therefore they would be deleting all of their videos during the livestream." (taken from the reddit post)

Cero's channel, and all the videos on it, were deleted. Seems like a few of the channels that had been reuploading old hazuki translations have had their videos deleted or deleted them themselves in response to hazuki's blog post.

On the 14th, Hazuki posted the following statement on her blog:
"This blog is permanently inactive.
Please refrain from reuploading any video featuring my translations.
Please do not put my translations on any uploads, closed captions, wikis, etc.
Removal of past uses of my translations is greatly appreciated.
Thank you."

All previous translations have been deleted from the blog, and she later added to the message:
"Postscript: It has come to my attention that there may be some comprehension problem regarding my statement above.
To clarify, by “Removal of past uses of my translations is greatly appreciated,” I mean that I would like all past uses of my translations to be removed.
This includes subbed videos, closed captions, wikis, etc.
Any use of my translations should be considered unauthorized and an infringement of copyright."

>>71758

my point is that it's pathetic for someone to have a copy of their own vocaloid and constantly use it for their music. it's fishing for attention because you're clearly trying to get people to care based off of the one slightly interesting thing you accomplished so they'll post brainlet comments like "omg u totally sound like dex i can't even tell the difference ur so gud wow my wigggggg" on an otherwise mediocre edm track. the duet isn't the problem. fixating upon your status as a voice provider is

No. 71786

>>71770
He was probably given a copy since he provided the vocals? It's not like he went out and bought it. Yeah it's an attention grab but how else is he supposed to advertise dex/himself? At least he actually wrote a song for it instead of just doing a bad cover of a popular song like most people who think they'll get famous with a shitty utauloid of their own voice.

You mean like 99% of songs by western producers?

No. 71787

Lmao if the Vocaloid was actually good you wouldn't need the voice provider to use it in order to get people to care. Its quality should be self-explanatory by the content other people make. Don't remember anyone else pulling this except Aki, Kenji, and Misha, and coincidentally they voiced three of the worst Engloids we got in a long time.

No. 71805

Nta but its truly sad how boring and soulless Vocaloid music has become, i always try to give producers a chance but everything sounds so uninspired, "oh your tuning is awesome, X sounds so good!!!" and so? the music is absolute shit, wtf cares about "good tunning" if your song sounds lifeless.

Ferry is fine, but it's sad that one of the only tolerable western producers sucks at music production. Her mixing has gotten a bit better, but it still comes across as amateurish.
She'll probably improve with time, but it fucking sucks that the only people in the community who know sound design choose to make the most uninspired EDM/muh trauma shit.

That's because you're only clicking on what gets recommended to you instead of actively searching for new stuff on various sources. I'm really sick and tired of that "hurrr vocaloid is shit now muh nostalgia" "durrr vocaloid is dying" nonsense. Stop being lazy, there a tons of good new producers and great new stuff from older producers. The way it's distributed is just too contraproductive now.

what does it matter when her brainlet middle schooler fanbase will eat up everything she releases no matter how bad or uninspired or forced it is. that's why she has no interest in actually pushing herself to improve or do anything significantly different; why care when all your feedback is going to be overwhelmingly positive anyways?

not exactly easy to find talented new japanese producers when one of the most active subbers likes to throw shitfits and insist everything they've ever translated is "tainted" and must be nuked from the internet.

i don't mind edgy shit every now and then, (bacterial contamination is pretty fun) but steampianist's stuff really isn't my thing.
i really like AdyS's more rocky sound, but the singing is pretty bad, in "Can't stop the world from spinning" the music just straight up overpowers the singing.
really enjoying Beau Jordan's more chill music, thrive reminds me of another song, but i cant put my figure on what.
on LesManga Musique, i'm not really into this kinda meme music but that madeon and porter robinson mashup is great.
"Mine" from ODDEEO could have been something i liked but i felt the vocals didn't work really well with it.
>>71920
checking out Marvin Valentin and "Gifted Child" gave kind of a bad impression at first cus it felt flat to me, but "Starburst" is actually pretty good but they need to work on the vocals.
from Lauren Estes "Beyond the Veil" started out fun but the singing quickly ruined it, though i've heard that dex and daina are kinda low quality vocaloids. their other stuff was a bit slow for me.

If you like metal/industrial I suggest Derek Spear and Bakeneko. Dasu has really good dubstep songs that hit hard, but it's in Tagalog (the language of the Philippines).

the difference is its not very often. chika and her voicer did it for one time. arsloid and his voicer did it on stage and so did seeu. sachikos voicer even made a cover and meika voicer made an original but thats the thing. they dont do it constantly and as an obvious ploy for attention because they dont even need it. all of these other voicers are already famous or well known that they dont even need a vocaloid to boost that. sometimes the things they do dont even boost the popularity of the vocaloid anyways cuz chika and arsloid are still unpopular as shit regardless.

aki, kenji, and misha are all nobodies in comparison to all of the other vocaloid voicers. the only clout they fish for comes from the vocaloid fandom and anyone willing to suck up to them. theyre all shitty people who unfortunately got vocaloids and equally shitty ones at that. the easiest way to keep clowning around for attention is to keep using their own vocaloids and promote them as good vocals even tho we all know the three are garbage. or if youre aki, scam people for money, get people to do shit for you for ugly ass keychains, pander to other languages cuz youre weeb trash, and praise shota baby panties

dex doesnt need the advertisement. character itself is the least shitty of the three worst engloids. people consider using him unlike daina and ruby. kenji himself is a desperate manchild who manipulates others into doing free fanart and doing everything he could to try to stay "relevant", including doing a "voice provider edition" of "Honey I'm Home" that nobody asked for.

does anyone else feel like what aki and kenji are doing for the album is in bad taste? they literally cant make a song only for al, the character the album is dedicated to. is it necessary to shove in your own shitty characters in an album that has nothing to do with them? it could have been any other vocaloid top but they choose their own just because its theirs. fucking retarded

it's in very bad taste and, like with everything else they do, is a clear attempt at forced relevance. as for what >>72095 said, the people organizing the big alliance album either allowed it because either "oh em gee how could i say no to real life voice providers" or sam and aki twisted their arms into doing it. knowing how sam is having uoshi pump out dex fanart while still policing what people say about dex and daina three years after they've been released, i think we can guess which one it was at this point

kenji's might have been a duet with al and dex considering that uoshi's track art had both of them in it. iirc aki's uses daina as harmonies and al as the main vocals? point is its fine if there are vocals in the album that arent just the vocaloid its dedicated to as long as the subject gets the main vocals. thats been done in plenty of albums. but thats the tea: they use their own vocaloids and not any other engloid. its just shit shilling and self promoting. imho it would have been nicer to use another pfxloid but instead its dex and daina because its kenji and aki.

It's gotta be an insecurity thing. If he was actually confident about Dex and Daina he wouldn't be doing all this autistic screeching every time someone said something mean about them. Damn. At seventy dollars each they're the most expensive Vocaloids in Zero-G's library. Get over yourself.

thats just it isnt it? dex and daina are nothing to be confident about. they along with ruby are complete shit. dont forget that the pair have wookie noises for growl and somehow zero-g and yamaha allowed that.

its so funny how almost 4 years ago since dex and daina released that kenji claimed that people were entitled to their own opinion and whatever and was fine with the criticisms as long as theyre valid. now hes a hypocrite. all he does is cry and whine and screech every time someone says something against dex and daina and sometimes its real criticism and nothing mean. he just doesnt like to hear how flawed they are and made himself the official police. if youre going to be this butthurt stick to fucking utau because a lot of those fans are just as annoying and butthurt

i know misha and syo does the same shit with ruby too but misha is also an entitled bitch who doesnt give a fuck about what retarded things she says. ruby is crowned worst vocaloid so it doesnt even matter in the end. for kenji and aki, they just keep fucking themselves up and whore for attention and use people

even for the three worst trio, dex is the most popular of them. even though he has problems people like him for other reasons. for kenji thats not enough. he has to rub dex shit all over and manipulate people to do it. its beyond pathetic

No. 72143

the albums have potential to tap into new and upcoming musicians and artists but then you have circus, aki, and kenji existing in there too just to overshadow everyone else. maybe the other producers dont feel that way because they feel honored theyre in the same album with "popular western producers" but behold: those three are gross anyways. considered buying the album myself, but with those three in there, no thanks. not interested in boring and bland shit, especially from producers who dont really seem to care.

Daina just sounds bad. I dunno how anyone can justify it beyond 'feels'.

Her delivery is inconsistent. Kenji frames it as a strength as it makes her sound more "dynamic", fuck that. If I wanted my Vocaloid to sound dynamic I would tune it so. KenjiB says its because their director told them to deliver with "power" but that doesn't change that Aki didn't have enough vocal training to deliver it consistently. It doesn't matter if its Aki or the director's fault, it makes Daina sound bad.

Her gear was garbage. Who the fuck thought recording on a Blue Yeti was a good idea? You don't need the extra pickup patterns, its diaphragm is fucking tiny, and the mic has no dynamic range. You want to know why Daina has no low end, Blue Yeti can't record below 50Hz, is -5db at 100hz, and doesn't reach 0db till 200hz.

The eternal problem with many Engloids is Zero-G cheaped out on recording once again, rather than renting a studio they had each voice provider use their home studios and quality varied wildly. Its not quite Sonika's webcame mic quality, or Oliver's I can hear the Computer Fan quality, but it was still pretty bad.

The only compliment I can give is at least Dex sounds okay. I actually like Dex. He is no Big Al, but he is passable enough.

Long live The BIG ALiance. As a western fan I preordered it anyways because there are more artists than Kenji and Aki on it.

Am I the only one here who kinda feels like Circus-P's music has gotten kinda bland over the years? As well as his general aesthetic?

I dunno, his newer stuff sounds like generic american pop songs.

What happened that made him change style? Whenever I look at his newer stuff I have a hard time believing it's the same dude who wrote Circus Monster, iNSaNiTY and mErcy all while he was a teenager.

His stuff has never sounded stellar for me. I never understood what was so special about his works, even back then, they've always sounded either bland or extremely cheap to my ears.

From what I can see, nowadays he makes the safest possible releases, since he's aware that he's got a large enough fanbase to support whatever works he puts out. Probably doesn't feel like coming out from his creative safe space with stuff that may end up diminishing his income.

Not exactly what I meant. I don't think he stepped away from edgy stuff for the sake of his fanbase, but rather he just goes the safest and easiest route to keep himself there. He basically produces things that will keep him a (or any) fanbase, no afterthought on what he produces or anything; as long as it resembles music it'll be enough to count as content, which will give him the income he needs to keep himself afloat. In the end it all sounds bland and similar since he doesn't really care (or at least it looks like he doesn't) about what he's putting out, he's just doing so for the sake of doing so, no passion or anything involved.

But yeah, his icon looks awful.

No. 72617

Jesus, never thought about it before.

But now I feel bad for him. When he was a teenager, he sought after making music as an enjoyment, and it even shows in his illustrations. He used the vocaloids with much more character, not just blank states to sing for him.

Now, he's doing this for the purpose of surviving and meeting ends. He never talks about his personal life on twitter, but I can imagine he's been going through a depression for a few years now. And music was his coping mechanism.

Maybe I am just looking too far into this. It's my own thoughts.

matt is definitely burnt out at the least, which is pretty hellish by itself. the western vocaloid community is probably the worst place for someone in that state to be in because it demands regular content while also not giving a shit about the actual quality of that content. it makes the producer miserable while still reaffirming them that even if they're tired, it doesn't matter if that reflects in their songs since their fanbase won't care either way

In Japan it seems like this has to do with producers establishing themselves through vocaloid and then moving on to have a music career without it. In the west I guess you get the opposite, people like Circus-P clinging on to vocaloid despite clearly being burnt out and no longer inspired to make music.

He got attention due to the overwhelming support of his vocaloid fans in the first place. Now that he had success outside of it and made his 400mil yt views, he finally blessed us filthy mortals with one song after years of absence that was commissioned to be a celebration for miku and all he does is shit all over not only the community, but also every new producer and displays himself as some kind of leader. If he wanted to show his displeasure with the current state there could have been a million ways to do it better while also showing your gratitude but he did it in the most rude and useless way. Hell I loved Official Orange but I can't help but feel the bitter aftertaste after reading his interview and seeing his self-cover of sandplanet.

Wowaka literally left vocaloid in 2011 because he was (rightfully) upset that people associated his songs with Miku and not him as a creator.

You can like Oliver and recognize he doesn't have good quality recordings. Some of baggagelizard's Oliver originals are among my favorite Western tracks.

There is low frequency noise and buzz in almost all his samples. Either he was recorded on a 'noisy' mic, he wasn't recorded using balanced audio equipment, or they captured background audio AC fan, computer, fan or something.

There is definitely something wrong with Oliver's samples, beyond just the untrained vocalist behind the mic.

and their designs are cool to me. I love the futuristic aesthetic, it's reminiscent of how crypton tried to design miku, len and rin.

Of course, GHPZ is a better producer than Circus. He spent more time practicing his craft. Plus, there is a reason he won the MikuExpo concert.

RIP. No screenshots, was all VocaloidOtaku drama. Before Twitter drama and Amino drama there was VO drama. It was the #1 hub of bullshit and drama from the western community's early years.

Place closed down after the lead admin had a mental breakdown after he was accused of abusing donations. He used to earn $250/mo in PayPal donations pre-Patreon to cover "server costs" and run a vBulleting message board.

I had a love-hate relationship with the shithole, the people were terrible, but the drama was delicious. There were your usual weeby assholes who knew nothing of music and listed over shota, but it also had a lot of knowledgeable people who actually used the software as well. It was a bittersweet fruit. I still miss the place.

Not only was it 25k users, but it also had a lot of Western producers active in the discussions. The post-closure spin-off, founded by select mods was never the same and was mired by identity politics, clique groups, and no actual producers, just obsessive fans who never touched the software in their life.

The thing about the admin abusing donations was some lowkey drama for a while. He'd almost totally dropped out of the Vocaloid fandom and just kept hanging onto the site to squeeze money out of it.

The actual last straw was when he decided to sell Alter Ego voicebanks of his OCs, didn't get a license, and fucked over absolutely everyone on the dev team to take 100% of the profit. Site got nuked right afterwards since no one in their right mind would give him money anymore.

Most europeans simply aren't used to latin genres outside of Spain. But then again, I fully understand MikuExpo's decision too. They wanted a song that is original, represents a spirit of Vocaloid being international and about the experience of going to the concert, is well tuned and is preferably with several languages mixed in. They didn't state it directly but it was kinda between the lines in their contest page and tweets. And a suprising amount of submissions didn't really explore these criterias.
And I saw that ticket selling tweet you linked too but have yet to see anyone stating that the reason for their selling is because of MikuFiesta. It doesn't make sense either, why would the ones in barcelona sell their tickets?

I have Vocaloid videos on YouTube that are 9+ years old and Google lets you do detailed reports on your audience demographics. 2010 to 2019, the 13-17 demographics has always made +50% of my Vocaloid video viewers.

It's why you see kids making callout posts about Miku porn, they just can't comprehend that they shouldn't be following adult accounts.

I would say part of the problem, that lead to this stagnation in the west, is the lack of official support from any Western Vocaloid companies.

PowerFX checked out in 2010 with BIG AL, they outsourced Oliverm Yohio, and Ruby to that dumpster fire of a company run by Anders, VocaTone.

Zero-G has always been schizophrenic about their support for Vocaloid. They tried experimenting with Sonika's design, making that a contest, but in the V3-V4 era, they always tried to keep the greater community at length.

They struggled with character designs removing the fantasy elements from Avanna, and the kemonomimi from Dex and Daina in order to placate their Western distribution partners (BigFishAudio, et. al.) that did not understand the Vocaloid thing and were afraid of weebshit™ alienating serious producers.

Yamaha being Yamaha is way too fucking aloof. CYBER SONGMAN & CyVa V5 are probably one of the best Vocaloid ever produced but they didn't get promoted for shit besides being an addon for V5 Premium, causing them to loose a lot of hype as if they were a stand-alone release.

We don't have our 1st Place, Crypton, or Internet Co, that engage with their community, run official events, continually promote and support their products and characters.

Beyond its final closure in 2018 VO bled a lot of users and the community fractured. 2018 fandom was much more decentralized than the 2010 fandom. Unless you were actively searching for it, F5-ing the tags on Tumblr, Soundcloud, Twitter, etc. it was easy to miss new releases and artists.

VO's decline wasn't a sudden closure, but a long running series of events that ended in its closure. It was on its decline due to mis managment for a long time. At the same time VocaloidOtaku was too big and it strangled every other traditional forum from Vocaloid-User to MikuFan. The only way you could survive with VO hogging all the users was if you made your niche distinctly different, a la UtaForum.

Beyond VO's specific decline, message boards were on a decline as a whole. Don't 'ok boomer' me, I am old but not that old (I do no some boomer Vocaloid producers) but honestly I blame #hashtag culture. Sure you felt closer to your community in a Discord server or Facebook Group, but the conversations seem more ephemeral and if you were looking to learn and actually USE VOCALOID like I was, Discord and Facebook Groups are practically useless.

As for the general decline of Vocaloid in the west I blame an inability to make money within this niche. Because of the age of the audience (young and poor) and the early free (as in beer) culture, the community cultivated, you can't monetize it and producers that are into it have to do so for alternative reasons, mostly ego. If people fail to immediately grab attention, they drop out.

Also, the "decline of vocaloid" is not just a Western problem, I know many people that think the same of Japan as well, where once producers make it big, they stop making Vocaloid music and go on to anime/videogames/other genres, etc. There are some counterarguments to this, I honestly don't believe it, but I have heard many people repeat it.

People in the comments suggesting that because the bot flagging videos for 'child-directed content' is going to be targeting anything cartoon/animated a lot of vocaloid is going to get flagged. Kinda worried it's going to end up with producers/subbers etc just leaving youtube entirely rather than have to deal with this shit and the only alternatives are like NND or bilibili.

No, Crypton is the one trying to attract minors both in the west and in Japan. The Miku English official twitter account is a fountain of 'how do you do, fellow kids?' cringe and I would pinpoint it (created in 2014) as the shift in the fandom to an even more kiddy one. Accounts like mikumiku_ebooks and all the ebooks meme cancer accounts didn't help. You can't look up Vocaloid tags nowadays without being flooded with 14 year olds photoshopping Len into a leg or some shit. You think Lady Gaga showing Miku once many moons ago to an audience who dgaf about Vocaloid had more impact than a Crypton approved 117k account that tweets childish shit like this?

Maybe children won't spend money but they beg their parents to and once they turn 18 and get part time jobs they have no sense of responsibility and waste their entire paychecks on Miku things instead of saving to move out. You only have to see how people around the ages of 18-21 compete with collecting Miku merchandise to be the biggest Miku fan, something I had never seen in the western fanbase before. Cultivating a fanbase like this can be as profitable as catering to older otaku or producers, or even moreso, because children are never critical of Vocaloid companies and their organized events.

Exactly this. Gaga opened Miku up to normies in a legitimate way. Ebooks and the official EN twitter are the ones who've got all these fucking actual children dominating the western fandom screaming about "Miku is a uwu nb trans gurl and if you disagree you are transphobic!!!" and making twitter accounts dedicated to nothing but posting bald edits of the mascots with Drag Race slang captions. They need to fire whoever runs the official twitter and C+D the ebooks account asap.

That's what I don't understand. Ortsa was one warning away from a permaban on the discord server yet the owner of the server himself lied about the entire thing to cover for him (even going as far to say there was no proof about what Ortsa did when Ortsa himself confessed to doing it to him) The ones behind VO would rather shut down the server than ban a single pedophile who was grooming kids there. And nothing can be done, these retarded 13 year olds making callout posts about "uwu sexualising a real life minor" over Miku porn have made it literally impossible to get actual warnings about real life grown ass men pedos to get through. Even above someone said "If they're a Lenfag I'm suspicious" when actually there are Lukafags and Mikufags doing this grooming shit. Whatever pixels they fap to in actuality has little correlation to if they are grooming kids or not in the Vocaloid community. I'm yet to find a Lenfag who's been caught up in this. All the pedos I know of are Mikufags with a handful of Rinfags.

Well, when VO was alive, there was actual fear that calling out the pedos would kill the entire site. Like other people have mentioned, VO was the only real hub for the western community for the latter part of its existence, and the main admin was only interested in it as long as he could make money. It just so happened that several of the biggest patrons were adult dudes who wanted to keep the site around to sexually harass teenagers. If they were kicked out, their paychecks would go away. Very fucked up dynamic all around.

I can't wrap my head around why they would repeat this on a server that costs $0 to run, where they get absolutely no personal benefit. It's not a good thing to be controlled by pedos you numbnuts.

I love the software but I keep out of the fandom completely. The two biggest groups are young stupid kids who say Miku made Minecraft and pedophiles who try to fuck them but ask anyone else what the problem is and they'll say "people sexualising Miku!!!"

I once saw a callout post about "dangerous pedophile in the Vocaloid community" and all the screenshot was was them saying Miku was there waifu. It wasn't until a few days later when someone ELSE said "they're a pedo because they've said they want to fuck kids" and posted a screenshot of them saying on Facebook that they thought 11 year olds were hot or some shit. Miku being his waifu was MORE important to them than him being actually attracted to real children. The whole thing is totally fucked and a lost cause.

guess it's because dealing with real living criminals requires actual effort as opposed to cancelling a producer who said something edgy three years ago. so now we have this big fucking problem that gets ignored because mongs like shay prefer running around accusing someone of being a pedo at the drop of a hat over nothing while the actual pedos basically remain an integral part of the community. how nice.

I only know him as a Rinfag. He sent Len porn to little girls so most likely was a technique to get kids to talk to him. Whenever he talked about what he was fapping about it was always Rin, never Len.

The stuff with that KiKo or whatever having a doujin talking about child sexual abuse in a very serious non-sexual way getting him cancelled by Western kids was just the last straw for me.

I saw MULTIPLE CHILDREN make this argument with each one having loads agreeing with them. I had to look up the doujin myself to see what it was as they all made it out to be some sick pedo comic. It wasn't at all, it was a really harrowing and serious look at child sexual abuse from the perspective of the child, I did see CSA survivors praising it too. Kids then argued back that it shouldn't exist at all even if it isn't erotic "because it could be used to normalise sex to children" to which Kiko (not the proper name but I forget it now) made a public statement saying the comic was for adults only, not children. And Twitter then came back and said "well it was on your public Pixiv, just because its marked 18+ doesn't mean kids won't see it, you're a pedophile!!" I can't imagine how devastated Kiko must have felt especially if they are a CSA survivor themselves (which is extremely likely)

The kids you're trying to protect have been so desensitized to "pedo callouts" on behalf of drawings that actual warnings mean nothing.

You can't just protect children from pedos in communities in general, bc first, children do what children aren't supposed to do. Second, shit like shota and etc does make children less weady, because most of them never got proper sexual education, neither the idea that people can use content like that to groom them. If kids would be cleared up, it'd become way easier to spot pedos in the community, because weirdos who just like drawn kids which dont look like kids probably would never think abt touching a real one

People who are fapping to Miku are not lolicons. If she's drawn to look young, then yeah, its questionable. But Miku (and all Vocaloids) are designed to be anything you want them to be, including sexy women. By these kids logic if someone was drawing a literal baby in a diaper but they whacked the age of 45 onto it that would be fine. Pedophiles are not listening to Gigantic OTN and jerking off, it couldn't be more obviously not about a child. These twitter kids are fully blown retarded

As much as I agree that his rants are annoying as fuck. I just can't bring myself to have any preference when it comes to him vs. Aki. Mostly because Aki made a team of animators work for her with VOCAMERICA merch (keychains, some stickers and a shirt) as payment.

I honestly don't even know what's worse, the fact that she did this, or the fact that people accepted it and animated anyway. It's just mesmerizing that she made an entire KickStarter, didn't calculate (considering she calculated anything at all) animators payment in the amount, and thought delivering them bootleg-level merch would do it.

A lot of the money went to Adan and Akuo (controversial figures mentioned here >>60390) Adan made the models and Akuo the textures and a lot of the illustrations.

The theory is she pissed most of money away in merchandise like those Dex/Daina custom plushes and probably in travel and other booth/promotion expenses, considering Vocamerica flew to Europe twice.

I have heard years ago from bts she did not compensate at least some of the producers involved and not sure about the animators but rumors exist they are paid in merchandise instead.

Unfortunately, those about the animators being paid in merch aren't rumors.

as for extra vocamerica financial fuckups, for some reason she thought it necessary to buy hundreds of glow sticks to hand out to attendees so it could be like ~a real vocaloid concert desu~, multiple times. she travelled overseas twice for absolutely no reason when she should've focused on domestic audiences first. she spent money on physical cd copies of albums that had almost nothing to do with vocamerica or any of its producers, such as two different robo albums and some furry utau compilation thing that happened to feature dex and daina because sure why not, which were subsequently sold at her tables. basically, anyone who still respects and supports akiglancy at this point is an orbiting retard.

i think the same. why the fuck would crypton give two shits about that, even more so if you take in consideration the time of ruby's release and development. back then crypton was focusing on updating their own characters to V4, given that context, i don't think they would care much for an english vocaloid project from a part of the fandom that, at the time they, didn't focus much on, let alone a project from literal "whos" who happened to have the development kit.

No. 74465

Some time ago their V2s used to cost $120-ish then had a permanent price down. Oliver used to cost around that too. But I do agree Yohioloid might be expensive due to 1.) 2 vbs (eng/jp), 2.) YOHIO possibly getting a cut as an agreement/licensing. Ruby might have been $100 ever since as an introductory price for V4 (and their only V4).

Not to defend Ruby or anything, I think it's just really PowerFX not caring about Vocaloid anymore and just keeps them up for as long as they could.

^ in reply to someone saying they don’t like her voice on Yunosuke’s new song

I know Jubybooby is kinda old news and we all know she’s fucked but I’m not the only one who sees through that moderator bs, right?
She’s done damage control with her “moderator” multiple times but, god, this was bad. First she claims to use no auto-tune which is bullshit, then continues to self-advertise for no reason? Why is a moderator even on Yunosuke’s video lmao.
Everything she writes makes it sound like she’s applying for a job- I mean have you seen her wiki page? It’s a whole essay about her career (and her 8+ octave range as her moderator stated on one of her videos)

Maybe I’m just nitpicking but the whole act is just super embarrassing, especially when she’s extremely mediocre as a singer. Can she just leave the vocaloid community for good already lol

No. 74525

nah this isn't nitpicking anon, i wouldn't understand why a moderator would suddenly start writing about juby like they are writing for a wikipedia article. though i understand even less why she is writing like that for herself but she is clearly lying and overpraising herself.

Remember the reason why the V2s cost so much is because they came with a full version of the Vocaloid Editor. Once V3 rolled around they only came with "lite" trial versions and the cost was broken out separately. V3s V4s and V5 all require a separate $225 purchase on top of the VB costs, which V2s didn't require. Using V2 pricing to justify Ruby's insane pricing is a bit off, individual VB prices should have gone down after everything was unbundled.

No. 74574

Sadly don't have recipts because VO went down, but remember when Misha basically harassed Bil Bryant and is the reason PFX dropped out of Vocaloid

Misha didn't communicate what Ruby's was supposed to be and Bil had revealed a lighter skinned design at some anime convention. She accused PFX of white washing and racism and basically invited the western fags to send malicious emails to PFX
She also harasses Latina/Mexican vocaloid fans for not supporting Ruby because its "race traitorism" or something. what a clown

She also self-identifies as an SJW and has a Naruto obsession

No. 74576

she was the one who started that #saveruby shit, right? anyways something that personally annoys me is how ruby is constantly held up as an example of ~poc representation~ in vocaloid, which misha herself obviously harps on about, but i can promise you that most actual ~poc~ vocaloidfags could not give less of a fuck about skin color. they just want a good product that doesn't sound like a prolapsed garbage disposal unit.

for me, it just looks like she uses these as an excuse to post those extremely shitty (and borderline racist) takes she has on every single of the races she usually says she's a part of.

that aside ruby is a mistake in every aspect. the voicebank performs poorly, sample quality is, well, what you would expect from a sub-par mic in a bedroom, and the voice itself sounds bad. literally no one asked for another female vocal with a sinus infection.

Lupin had talked about it on stream. Zero-G was accepting demo reels, they liked how he sounded, they invited him to audition.

Aki was already doing artwork for Zero-G, Avanna's boxart as they wanted someone in the community to do the art. That's how she established a connection to Zero-G. Knowing she had made an UTAU before they had invited her to submit a demo reel.

The "female vocal" was outsourced to VocaTone by PowerFX. Misha had connections to VocaTone staff and got a private invite through those connections. I think Bil Bryant would later regret this one.

All had made UTAU at one point. Being an early adopter to UTAU likely played a part in all of it.

Since in the west, there's a super low chance professional vocalists would make a vocaloid due to it's reputation here(compared to how eastern VA's might go "my vocaloid could be the next Miku*"), they're almost forced to use either random people or people in the fandom already. Companies might think "Well since this person is already well known it might get more sales", and that's how shitty fandom vocals are born.

Kinda hilarious how if a english Vocaloid is voiced by someone in the fandom it's almost always shit. English vocaloids aren't everyone's cup of tea, and Songman and Cyva might be a little nasal at times but at least they weren't recorded on a Yeti in someone's basement

I will never understand how people think UTAU is better than Vocaloid, especially when 90% of western UTAU, japanese or not has a super strong disgusting accent. I once heard a CV from someone that had literal sick sniffling in the samples.

Yamaha might have questionably retarded business practices but V5 isnt bad to the point where singing weeb OC maker sounds anywhere comparable to it. If I wasn't biased against EmVoice I'd say its the worst synth(but even EmVoice has better results than UTAU)

Honestly, it was a mix of being early to the game, regular with releases, and sheer quantity and body of work. Popularity begets popularity after all.

Beyond that Myst and her circle has always been particularly effective in building a personal brand and engaging the community. I am not just talking about her being an admin of UtaForum either, but her efforts in the Overseas-Utafest DA group, and her frequent collaborations with other producers and artists.

I think a key point was the 2013 release "United Together Around UTAU". It was one of the first Western releases to be tabled at the Japanese doujin event Minna no UTAU and was key to exposing many of the featured artists and UTAU to Japanese audiences and mainstream appeal, or as mainstream as you get within this niche.

Collabs, collabs, collabs, and a lot of networking within the niche is the reason Aiko is so popular. Besides United Together I suspect the breakout hit of Bi☣hazard was a major part of it, it was the first of Crusher-P's "killer hook, drop the damn bass already" hit parade and it was a breakout hit in Japan. I think Aiko is the only western UTAU I know of to get an EXIT TUNES release.

There are better western UTAU definitely, Cz-loid is a love of mine, but no other Western UTAU makers has worked harder in the niche, put themselves out there more, and has done a good of a job self-promoting as Myst & Kiikyune Aiko have. Her current notoriety is built on literally a decade of work.

Are there actually people who think UTAU is better than Vocaloid that is like… order than 13?

Any competent UTAU user who has used both clearly understand's UTAU's limitation. Its accessibility problems, its lack of dictionary, and all the various hacks you gotta do to make things sound decent.

It certainly has its own advantages, you can create your own without having to trade sexual favors with Anders Sodergren for example, you can add additional samples to emulate your native language and new phonemes, it is free/shareware, etc. etc.

But I don't think anyone who didn't have their head up their own ass would say UTAU>Vocaloid, especially if they ever used Vocaloid 5 Editor.

On that note, I can't take any Vocaloid producer seriously that is NOT using Vocaloid 5 Editor. Looking at you Lupin, he said on stream he doesn't buy Vocaloid 5 because he doesn't really like Vocaloid. WTF dude why you even a producer and keep milking this community if you don't even goddamn like Vocaloid.

synthV dev used to work on a miku knockoff vocal synth and pitchforks were raised after people found out it was a blatant reverse engineer of Vocaloid.

Eventually he announced he was working on a new synth (which will become Synthesizer V) and I sure do remember utaufags getting their hopes up thinking it's their meal ticket of having their singing OCs on a different engine.

The lack of originality throws me off a lot. Not that Crypton's VOCALOIDs were anything exceptionally original (given it's basically just a revamped tech-y school concept), but Aiko screams bootleg merch. It's the kind of thing you'd see in a con being sold for 5$, just like that blonde MEIKO keychain.

Man, Juby didn't do this song justice well. I'm disappointed too since I'm really into Mafumafu's stuff.

The lyrics are nice, but the autotune is too much (people also complaining about the lyric 'black santa claus' even though it's literally in the original and not talking about race at all)

also where's that 8-octave range? she can't sing as low as soraru or as high as mafumafu nor can she deliver the same power as either singer.

She does the sketch, base coloring, and then slaps on a multiply layer and shades using one color. She does cell shading and it’s so lazy, especially with the way she does it.
What bothers me most about her style is the lazy-ass highlights and disproportionate bodies. It’s so simple and boring, why would anyone buy from her when they can get someone else who knows how to shade and do perspective for much less?

For someone who writes such shit music, you’d think they’d try a LITTLE harder so their art can at least be a selling point. Like with Cillia and her tuning lmao

Its something claimed and propagated, but I never saw it myself, even in Aiko's first 2009 design. The key parts of Aiko's design have always been the knee length split boots, the hoodie, the skirt w/ spats, short hair, hair clips, and arm warmers.

Basically, the only thing Aiko had in common with Rin was short hair and arm warmers and that arm tattoo, but this was 2009, everyone had arm warmers and arm tattoos, but those are hardly unique to just Rin, I mean Miku had them too.

There were plenty of knockoff Vocaloid designs in 2009, Aiko is probably not one of them. Sure, she took some inspiration from Crypton, but everyone did and the entire "blue rin" thing is mostly a meme and never was true.

Your "edgy" new opinion is neither new nor original. It's the same baseless garbage people unfamiliar with UTAU have been parroting for over a decade. Like no one can google what her 2009 design looked like? You can look it up and form your own opinion.

Have they tabled at Minna no UTAU multiple times? Have they been published by EXIT TUNES? How well regarded and used are they outside of their creator? How well-received are they in Japan? If not these metrics, how do you quantify an UTAU's success?

Actually Rin.

I was always a fan of the Senbonzakura art myself. It must be the eyepatch, it screams chuunibyou.

With so many original designs what makes Rin art Rin? Some have long hair, some have short hair, some have childlike pigtails, some have bows, some do not, some in shorts, some in skirts, others in elaborate kimono.

Besides the blonde hair what makes Rin art Rin? What if she no longer has blonde hair? Is it the Pixiv tags, is it what the artist says, what the community says? Is a stick figure I arbitrarily tag as Rin on Imgur Rin?

Not just Rin, but any Vocaloid really.

There's also a design of Rin where half of her body is cut off and attached to Len's body.

>>75713
Definitely. This I concede.

She was made in 2009. Her original design didn't even have feet because why draw anything not rendered in the YouTube release video? lol that was the mentality of the time.

UTAU styles of the day called for a -ne ending name, leg/arm warmers, useless triangle pattern belts, and that stupidly awkward boxart post.

Look at the #UTAUofthedecade tag on Twitter. A lot of the early UTAU stuff was bad, many were Vocaloid inspired, there is a lot of overlap between the communities. That being said looking at the tag most of the weebs shed their Vocaloid influences over the years in favor of more "original" desins.

The one design element Myst has kept was the pause/play barrettes. She shed the tattoo, the arm warmers turned into bracers, and even the hairstyle waffled over the years. The ahoge appearing, disappearing, getting floofier, more solid, etc. with only the length staying the same. Which I think is less significant considering how often Rin's hair changes in PV art, I don't think even the length is signature to Rin.

Why I never liked the "Blue Rin" narrative was because besides being of limited accuracy, it was stuck in a specific time period, repeated ad nausium within the "fandom" (no wonder it used to annoy Myst), never updated with the times, and often used to dimish and/or belittle the work that has gone into Aiko over the years.

Also to continue my previous thought experiment.

The western fandom is in that weird middle ground where there are lots of people who know about it, but anyone who's REALLY into it has depression and self esteem issues. Anyone who's actually talented/disciplined has better things to do with their time, and the less talented get to coast since it's not like anyone's going to usurp their (technically earned but not necessarily warranted) popularity. No point in trying to make your own stuff when there's lots of content already made that you can consume at your leisure.

It's sad, yeah, but it's not like anyone has the motivation to really do anything about it. I can always listen to Cantarella or anything else pre-2010 if I really want to scratch the nostalgia itch that bad.

No. 75792

>>75787
You say you predict a resurgence in the coming decade– why? It seems super unlikely to me now that vocaloid as a software is dead (hence all the companies saying they won't be producing V5 banks). Sure, SynthV isn't bad, but how far can it really get with it just being one (narcissistic) guy's passion project? Even if Crypton does come out with their own engine, they already said it'll be proprietary and I'm not convinced Miku & the Kagamines can carry the thing by themselves.

Because people that were kiddos back when it first got popular are now adults with jobs and money. They're going to make things inspired by what they liked when they were young.

With this topic on Vocaloid being dead, y’all reminded me of some drama that happened a while ago. Can’t remember what it ws exactly, but I know an article was posted about the ‘impact’ of the mikumikuebooks account, and the guy who runs Mikufan (jrharbort) said “this isn’t what I wanted Miku’s perception to be, a meme”. People hated on him for this, but tbh he’s not wrong. I feel like at least nowadays, Vocaloid isn’t taken seriously in the west because of all the ‘HAHA MIKU!!’’ memes and the general lack of any professional names.

Think about it. ‘Miku’ has basically become a punchline, kinda like Sans Undertale, except that one works better because everybody already knows and loves Undertale. Vocaloid doesn’t have that.

Rather unrelated, but is saying you've got the "deepest voice" a fetish in the UTAU fandom? I personally am tired of literally everyone claiming they have a deep voice, when in reality they don't, especially when it comes to male UTAUs. I'm personally tired of people who (badly) fake their voices deep to a point where the engine doesn't even know how to synthesize the sample properly, making them all sound like vomit. I personally think Aiko fits in that category, given how unnatural this UTAU's tone sounds at times.

That said, I'm not exactly surprised, considering half of these people take that free Christina Aguilera online range test, and think they have a thousand octave range.

When this “news” came out I literally dropped everything I was doing to go straight to the source and verify it. And I was kind of expecting it to actually be as bad as the people on Twitter were claiming because pedo culture in the manga scene is totally out of control and I knew Kikuo was male. But to my surprise it totally, for those who have not read the offending comics, was not what people were claiming it was. I’m no expert at Japanese but I could read a fair bit of the text, by the way. But anyway long story short, it’s a super long comic series and out of all the pages only like 10 or less had any sexual content on them— and those were not graphic in the way you’d expect a “porn manga” to be. Plus it’s important to note the whole thing is from the kid’s perspective, meaning he’s not even in the panels of those pages a lot of the time and instead the only character focused on is the teenager (still kind of bad but it’s japan and that’s like, normal)

Yes that's the fucking point. It isn't supposed to be hot or something casual from the perspective of a child, it's horrifying and that's exactly what he drew and stylized. You are supposed to react badly.
>but with it looking like this i'm not surprised people who don't speak the language jump to conclusions.
You don't need to speak the language to see that it's intended to be terrifying and not arousing. To jump to the conclusion that it's porn you'd either have to look at pictures without thinking or have an immature reaction to anything implying naked bodies or violence, which is why it was R-18 in the first place.

you also would have to have a pixiv account that has you listed as an adult to view it. so they are a minor w/ a pixiv account that allows them to view it. not everything in the r-18 tag is porn, pixiv has a good amount of guro on their site and most of it is tagged. they are at least old enough to understand the concept of accountability but brought us this anyway. >>75984

this is the most exemplary post i could find, in fairness i ignored most of it at the time because it's stupid as all fuck.

mostly it's because some versions of the translyrics have references to the rising sun flag and… that's it actually. generally just an extremely reactionary take on the song's actual content. iirc the song itself is mostly about the meiji restoration with some allusions to post-ww2 since those were two phases in japan's history where they were more or less "forcefully" modernized.

the lyrics literally say "this is now an anti-war country" so i seriously have no fucking idea how they came to that conclusion

Was there any actual point in the 'big reveal' or Piko and Miki being siblings? I feel like it's just an attempt at fishing for attention by the big name companies.

Besides, what point is there in it anyway? All it does is restrict what you can do with the voices (prepare for the incoming slew of retards calling old pikoxmiki videos pro-incest)

First of all there was no big ~reveal~ it was just some fun info they shared as part of AHS's 10th anniversary. Second, saying they're siblings is ridiculous to me. Just because their voicers are from the same label suddenly we're calling them siblings? So are we gonna call Miku and Luka siblings now then?
I just feel like people are over reacting to hell and back about this, I guess because the VOCALOID fandom is starved for any sort of content.

This might not be the hottest take but Crusher making Calalini to take advantage of not only the edgy preteen crowd and a REAL LIFE girl's "condition" is imo the worst thing in the Vocaloid fandom. Not only was Crusher complicit in the abuse of this girl, allowing her parents to give her LUDICROUS amounts of antipsychotics, she didn't even make the song a subtle reference: all of the lyrics in the song are directly taken from Jani's videos and documentaries. Not only has none of the money from Calalini (the song) gone to Jani (who is now recovering in a special all-girl's house), Crusher was still shilling out Calalini on their album and promoting it, without directly calling out her parents. It's this shit that PROVES that money is all a lot of producers care about. And it ended up ruining the life of a REAL, and more importantly, INNOCENT child. Honestly, with all the crazy shit Crusher has done (including stealing YT revenue and not letting Circus have a say in the rights and distribution of the Circrush songs, glorifying mental illness and using it to sell shitty music, and being generally intolerable and uncreative) its a wonder they haven't been cancelled yet.

These producers are desperately trying to milk the money out of a dying and dead fandom and it sickens me.

No. 76144

want to preface this by saying I think the argument that it's pro-imperialist is stupid and I do not agree with tumblr that the song is problematic or needs to be censored.

But the military references in senbonzakura aren't exactly "vague", idk how much more blatant you can get than ICBMs, bombs, etc. About half the outfits are clearly based on stylised uniforms, though you could probably argue either way for whether they're military or just supposed to be the school uniforms introduced in the meiji period, I don't care enough to research it more than two seconds of googling.
Also, senbonzakura isn't available in the Korean versions of project diva and taiko no tatsujin games. Yeah Korea has in the past had some major issues with censoring Japanese media and still kind of does but senbonzakura is apparently ~problematic~ enough to get cut.

It's not "pro-imperialism" though, and there are plenty of other vocaloid songs about the meiji period that do seem more critical of 'westernization', they're just latching on to senbonzakura because it's the most well-known. If they just want to bitch about imperialist japanese media they can go read attack on titan or something.

Plus the lyric "boys and girls becoming samurai" which then cuts to len and rin in the PV. which is probably an allegory for forced drafting/recruitment. (girls were recruited too, just not in direct combat)

but it's not even a pro-anything song. it's literally just a funky song with fun ww2 trivia in it.

No. 76146

Hey, Planty here. To preface this post, yes, I'm a shitheel who did a lot of shitty things to some people who may not have deserved it. BUT, that being said, my Vocaloid career is over and in the past, and I reaped what I sowed. However, there are some things that have been on my spirit and I would like to share them with you guys; "Spill the Tea", as it were. Tea on myself and tea on others; as a semi-popular Vocaloid producer, I was privy to a lot of things that went down behind the scenes. Some innocent, some not. So let's start from the top.

I never hacked any Vocaloids. Hacking things was never in my skillset; I wasn't that smart. AlexVox was the one who cracked and distributed Project 575 and AnonKanon, I simply used them. Because I was typically the first to use a newly-cracked Vocaloid, I was constantly the one who was blamed for cracking them. That simply wasn't true. Was using them a shitty thing to do? Absolutely. But I never cracked anything; again, wasn't smart enough.

STELLA was my biggest fuckup, but she wasn't meant to be what she was. She was originally supposed to just be a XSY-made Vocaloid, a legal one, too (between two Miku V4 voices). But she had a story, a much deeper story that I was to afraid to share, given my already negative status in the fandom.

See, Crusher and I (she went by Cien) were actually quite close. I would mix things for her, we'd talk extensively on Skype, I even went to my first ever anime convention with her (she was dressed as Fem!Prussia from Hetalia). Although I genuinely liked her, she always came off as really cold and dismissive to me sometimes. But, I was around 15-16, so I was STUPID. I was in this part of my life where I desperately wanted everyone to like me, so I would do anything, say anything, and put up with anything. Luckily, I've outgrown that phase, but back then I would do literally anything Cien asked of me.

Again, by my standards, this friendship was pretty close. Looking back, I realized I was really just more of an industry friend or acquaintance to her (or, more accurately, someone to use). I was working at an appliance store at the time, and i was ALWAYS on Skype or Twitter mobile because I was constantly checking in with my Vocaloid friends/socials. I was obsessed with it, honestly; I loved the tech, loved the music, I was just enthralled, and had been for years. It was actually kind of unhealthy how much weight I put on it (again, I've outgrown that). But one day, Cien just stopped talking to me. Straight up ghosted my ass. And I was so confused, because I didn't think I had done anything wrong?

I had known they were struggling with mental health issues, some pretty serious ones (or so I believed, I don't know what the truth was), so I was extremely worried. Cien was always a really dark, semi-suicidal person, and my 15-16 year old mind immediately went into crisis mode; "Oh my god, Cien's finally killed herself", etc etc. After a few weeks, she sent me a message telling me she was fine, she had self-harmed and was in the hospital.

So, like any good friend, I really wanted to find out what was bothering her, talk to her, stuff like that. She wasn't having it. She got extremely mad when I asked her if she was okay or if there was anything I can do, and told me not to tell ANYONE about it.

I agreed, but I got even more worried when she started displaying this behavior again. So I DM'd Circus (who I was talking to at the time), and asked him if he had noticed anything weird or wrong with Cien. At this point, I should've left it all alone and gone about my business. But again, undercooked brain, young stupidity.

BOTH of them got irate that I asked if Cien was okay, and they both literally removed my from their friends lists and blocked me. And for what??? It happened so fast, and without warning. I was just so confused, but mostly I was HURT. I had considered Cien a good friend of mine, and to have her just cut me off for no reason, I didn't know how to cope.

So STELLA was born. I wanted to create a Vocaloid as a way to get back at her, a sort of "ha-ha, I made one and you didn't" sort of thing. To me, creating a Vocaloid was the ultimate badge of honor. I dreamed about making them, it was literally my waking fantasy. Originally, STELLA was meant to just be a cross-synth voice billed as a "Virtual Idol", but I got greedy. I had already applied for a Vocaloid license and was denied, three times. I was getting frustrated because I was just hurt and confused and going through a lot (when you're that young, everything seems like the world is ending). So the fake XSY hack was created. I didn't know how to tell the others that this had turned from a legit revenge scheme to a fake one; I was embarassed and honestly, I should've never taken it this far. None of the STELLA team knew that she was originally a sort of get-back plot, I was going to keep that to myself if she was succesful (and we see how that turned out).

I was never going to keep any of the money for STELLA, it was all going to go to the Arts Charity. Additionally, while we're here, I never plagiarized any music. I purchased sample packs, sort of songs that are split apart and are able to be put back together. They're obviously not very creative and many people purchased the same packs as me, leading to the same sounds. (Like for real people, how could I create a perfect karaoke of a vocal song that had no karaoke released? Or edit the midi data for a song that had already been rendered???) But my status was already so low in the community, nobody wanted to hear it haha.

Giraffey and Nageko and PianoBench and the others didn't deserve the bad publicity, they were all very very very kind to me, far kinder than I deserved. But, what is done is done, and I can't take it back. I've also apoligized and worked through my own self-guilt about the whole situation; it was a horrible, stupid thing I did. But I was young, and I can't let it hang over me forever. I've apologized and coped with it, and I'm mostly over it.

But Cien… that person is horrible, manipulative, and spiteful. Even more than me. A few weeks after the STELLA fiasco, CirCrush broke up because she was hoarding the YT revenue money and not allowing Circus access to the rights for their songs.

AND WHILE WE'RE HERE WITH TEA!!!!!
AkiGlancy and I were in a Skype call and she ripped Creep-P's music apart; calling it horrible, discordant, and disgusting, then turns around and is nice as a peach to him later and wants to be on his album. (This wouldn't be a big thing if not for the FERVOR she tore his music apart, I was like DAMN okay CHILL DAMN OKAYYY)

ALSO! Creep-P gave all of his Macne banks to me and others (back when Nana wasn't a Vocaloid), then goes on a crusade against POCALOID and illegally acquired banks. He also had this HORRIBLE thing on Skype where he would use Homestuck typing quirks (his favorite was the Eridan one where the w's are vv's and stuff), and would get extremely pissy when I asked him to stop for a bit. It was grating when he would do the aLtErNaTiNG caps thing, especially.

AND! Misha called my Ring Suzune revival project (the mess that was JEWEL), a horrible, derivative ripoff when her own UTAU, Makune Hachi, is a derivative ripoff of Macne Nana (then proceeded to sic her followers on me). Some self-awareness would've been nice.

Cien discontinued Daisy because she wasn't able to monetize it; PLOGUE told her that since Daisy was a testing library and not up to standard, monetizing it would not be right. So she demanded they pull it from their site.

In the English version of "Tell Your World" which is on kz livetune's Re:Dial album, I helped Circus with the phonetics on the VSQ, but he refused to credit me for it.

Cien got mad and demanded I take down a remix of ECHO I made because "It made her uncomfortable" and was "being positively received".

Aki at one point told me I should quit Vocaloid as Planty and make up a new name because I was never going to be big in the community with my checkered past. I actually met Aki at a con and she was quite nice in person, if a little disingenuous.

There were more things but this all happened such a long time ago, I can't remember anything else. If I do, I'll post it.

In retrospect, I fucked up ALOTTTTT. Messed up a lot and wasted a lot of chances. But I kept quiet about a lot of the fucked up shit that happened to me as well. This is not a WAHHHH I'M PLANTY I WAS MESSED WITH post. I deserved to be called out and I deserved to be ousted from the community. But rest assured many of the other producers have done fucked up things with more regularity, they were just much better at hiding it. So this is a sort of catharsis for me, a way for me to get all of this shit off my back and put this community behind me for good. Thanks for reading.(super autism)

this was brought up about two threads ago but i didn't know it was that bad. thank god jani is finally out of munchy mom's reach, but to directly profit off of her suffering by using it as material for a dumb edgy song is about as low as you can get. but crusher will never get cancelled because she blends right in with the rest of the sjw brainlets, which makes her immune to criticism unless she, i don't know, says there's only two genders or some shit. you can literally do whatever you want in this fandom as long as you got the right political leanings and it's fucking insane to watch.

No way to prove it, unfortunately. But why would someone impersonate me and write this long-winded, emotionally charged paragraph with details only I could know?

I bring it up now because I'm still in the Vocaloid community; not as an active creator, but as a watcher. People STILL shit talk me, even to this day. It doesn't bother me as much as it would have before, but I just feel weird not having the full story be known. Believe it or not, my Stella fuckup really messed with me. There was a lot of guilt and self-hatred and just… a lot of emotions. It's taken a lot of self-reflection and time to come to terms with what I did. It may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but I hurt a lot of friends and ruined the trust of my allies. It took a serious toll on me haha.

This isn't for me to sling mud on people; these are just things that happened and I want to talk about them. I always felt a little used by the producers, although obviously it didn't warrant me making a fake Vocaloid and ruining everything. I kept quiet on lots of things while everyone else felt free to talk shit on me pretty much constantly.

This is really just a catharsis for me; i haven't talked to any of these people in YEARS, and people change (I'm proof of that). So, they might have improved or something, I don't know.

As for hobbies, I've gotten into cosplay and DnD. I had a thing with Overwatch back in the day as well, but my main thing right now is DnD.

yet you have time to talk shit about your online ex friends on anonymous forum?

I'm not on social media anymore; the Stella thing actually triggered a complete 180 in my life. I recognized that that sort of environment just doesn't work for me personally. Thank you for saying you liked me old stuff though, I sometimes get nostalgic about the "good old times", as they were.

>>76159
People HATED me on principle because of my spotty past. I was so scared of saying anything against Crusher/Circus/others because I was, again, so desperate to be liked and accepted. I was afraid to say anything because of potential backlash or that I'd lose their friendship (even though at this point it had been gone for a while and was never real in the first place).

I was young and vulnerable and afraid, and put WAY TOO MUCH weight on what other people thought of me.

>>76161
I didn't want to reveal the truth because I was afraid, again of the backlash (even though at this point I was gone from the fandom and not coming back). I wanted it to be a simple, clean explanation, with no mess.

But that wasn't the truth, and it never was the truth. I was trying to protect someone who never cared about me, and I was trying to wrap everything up nice and neat. But again, that wasn't the truth.

As for the shit-talking, the STELLA fiasco affected me deeply. I KNOW it sounds dumb, but I've been afraid to really DO anything creative because of my negative experience with the Vocaloid community (as self-inflicted as it was). In order to move on and heal, I need to come clean about what happened. I've been taking my mental health very seriously this year, and I've had many talks with my therapist about the issue. And no, the therapist isn't for this specifically, everyone should have a therapist just to tell them that they're not a terrible person and to help them work through anything life throws at them.

And my youngness doesn't excuse my actions: I fucked up. It was horrible, it was wrong. But I'm OWNING UP to it. I'm not hiding anymore. Being young doesn't excuse me. And it shouldn't excuse them, especially when their actions are having real-life consequences (like poor Jani Schofield).

I don't want to come back to Vocaloid; that part of my life is over. It's just a part of my life I'm trying to get over, in a way. I let it mean far too much to me and I'm paying the price for my mistakes. But again, if I never talked about the true situation, I would have it in the back of my mind forever and ever, like it has been for years now. This is just a cathartic exercise for me.

By the way Planty, don't you feel guilty about "real-life consequences" for "poor Janni schofield", when you yourself helped Crusher create that piece of work? "Their" actions, yeah. She wasn't even 18 when she made that song, was she? And considering all her works are created with help of someone else, it's most likely Calalini would never been there in the first place without your help. Shocking, right?

This "self-aware" bullshit is getting old. Acting as if you are above them when you are clearly not. You're trying to portray yourself as some poor little kid that's been taken advantage of… When you all were roughly the same age.

well. guess i definitely don't know a damn thing about planty then. i was barely engaged with the fandom when this was all originally blowing up so i never had the full scope of things. damn. i was really hoping these posts were genuine too since it'd be great to have a known producer with a conscience for once.

This is a sort of release for me; I just wanted to get all of this off my chest. It's really for me, not to get back at anyone anymore, that ship has sailed. Again, it's been bothering me for years now.

>>76162
Of course I'm not a victim. I'm just as guilty of fucking up. I did bad things, yes, but I'm working through them and have apologized. It is your right to not forgive me, and I'm not going to beg you to. I made a mistake and I will need to sit with it.

But as for Calalini… I didn't know that the song was going to be monetized, shown on talk shows, or made into T-shirts… I didn't know any of that. I was just mixing a song as a favor to a friend. I was also not offered ANY of the money that was made from Calalini, and was shut down when I told Crusher it was insensitive to use a CHILD for monetary gain.

Of course, I don't have screencaps of any of this. I rescinded access to my accounts long ago. And my word isn't exactly pure either. But again, this is just for me to tell what happened from my point of view, not to rally people to my side. At the end of the day, I'm not coming back to Vocaloid and I have no desire to.

In short, I don't expect anyone to whiteknight me or even fully believe me. I just wanted to tell everyone what happened to me so I can move on. I'm not going to get mad at anyone for hating me or being distrustful of me; again, I planted those seeds myself. I've had these thoughts and truths for years now and would like to get them off my chest.

Even if you are like "This fucking shitface I hate him" (and you are justified in that thought), it helps me to just speak what happened in a semi-public setting.

You're obviously a crusher fan, save for the possibility that you ARE her and somehow found this thread

You're trying to stem away from the fact that cien STILL made a remastered version using kaai yuki v4 on her CONCIENTIA album.

now, with all the information about jani schofield not actually being schizophrenic and instead said condition being faked by her parents, you'd think that Crusher, now an adult, would call back and delete her remaster of Calalini from her album on spotify, right? Wrong. It's still out there, even with all the available information at her goddamn fingertips.

I just don't get how every other week she makes a post for everyone to tell her about their OCs or UTAU or whatever the fuck, to show how "loving" she is to original characters and other UTAU, only to stop caring in 5 seconds and proceed to shove Crecia into people's faces (as though Crecia is more innovative than any other UTAU ever made). Rinse n' repeat. I don't know anymore besides that as of right now.

I should've stepped back when I got some warning signs, it's true. I was too focused on being friends with someone that I didn't make the correct decision.

I also just found out about the true Jani Schofield story today at work. That is actually what inspired me to make this post. My role, even if it was small, was still there. I am not innocent and I was involved in the production of Calalini, even if I was shut out during the high point of the song's life cycle.

The fact that something I was involved in, even if I was just the mixer (and not a great mix either, offhandedly), actually affected this child in any kind of way made me feel guilt and remorse and a desire to step up. That was a horrendous song made about something that should not be monetized, and I was involved in it. That was wrong, and I'm here to say that it's wrong. And that's it's STILL happening.

>>76180
I was bitter for a long time, it's true. I won't pretend like I wasn't seething for a while. But after I really took time to reflect (and mature), it became a lot less about bitterness and self-hate and more about "Wow… we were all kinda fucked up, huh?"

Again, I just wanted to put this all out there. What you guys do with it is up to you, whether you believe me or not.

It is true, the songs weren't on Crusher's channel, nor they shared an youtube account. They did, however, share a twitter account. Basically, all the drama happened because Circus got salty over Echo reaching million or something views, and Crusher "taking the credit" for the work (not sure if it was related to "Echo", "Circrush" projects, or both). The links to their works (now privated) are still up at wiki.

>>76187
Please, at least be more consistent with your lies, Planty. First you lie about stolen revenue, now you say you posted out of "guilt and remorse", when you never say a thing about it untill the moment it's brought up by someone else. And out of a sudden you're actually self-aware and even tried to stop her, right.

And no matter how many times you say you don't try to play a victim, that's exactly what you are doing.

Me neither. Then again, from what I've seen, a good chunk of the "muh positivity" and "soft uwu" people are the most toxic and rotten ones. They just don't show it publicly, 'cause they want to have a holier than thou image, so 1- People don't have any "tea" on them & 2- If someone does have tea on them, their good samaritan act will be enough to have people whiteknight the shit out of them.

It is your right to be distrustful of me; again, I fucked up and this is to be expected. All I know is that I'm telling the truth, and I can't expect everyone to believe me with my past. And that's what this is about; me getting it out there even if people don't believe it.

The stolen revenue is confirmed by many sources, not just me. I'll admit I'm not 100% clear on the details. I wasn't privy to their bank account information after all. That's just what I witnessed.

You are more than welcome to pick apart my side of the story and accuse me of anything you'd like. The fact of the matter, whether you choose to believe it or not, is that this is what I experienced and that is why I'm posting it today.

I set a timer for this thread, as a part of my 'moving on', so to speak. At midnight, EST, I will stop responding to this thread. Not out of malice or annoyance, but simply to put a cap on my involvement in the Vocaloid community.

Then do everyone (and yourself) a favor and just go. Cause you're basically beating around the bush and still playing the victim (despite you saying you're not, you still are). If you're to move on then stop postponing it, move on now. It's been 5 years, people come and go, part of the fandom doesn't even know who or Stella are anymore, yet you're here fishing for attention and validation on an anon forum, to make you feel better about yourself by trying to look like the bigger person.

Please, lmfao. If you wanted to truly own up to it, you'd have done what anon said earlier and made a thread on Twitter where you're sure to make an actual impact (mostly cause half, if not all, of the users you've mentioned are still roaming around there), rather than just some forum, without any proof whatsoever.

No. 76193

Oh yeah, many sources? Like what? It's funny how the "stolen revenue" was never brought up in the community before, but then Planty decides to "spill the tea". You "witnessed" it.

You're saying that
> I was never going to keep any of the money for STELLA, it was all going to go to the Arts Charity.
But is there any reason to believe you, like at all?

> The fact that something I was involved in, even if I was just the mixer (and not a great mix either, offhandedly), actually affected this child in any kind of way made me feel guilt and remorse and a desire to step up.


It's funny how you try to play "good guy" when your call-out post is literally just about how shitty your friends treated YOU and there's literally one sentence about Jani. One.

You're not a better person than them, you're JUST like them, you don't give a single fuck about that little girl.

Go and make another shitty XSY fanloid to scam people into giving you money, you need it to pay for your therapy, since 2.5 randoms on the internet are bullying you. Complete 180 big childhood trauma, for fucks sake.

No. 76194

>>76191
Truth is I'm still very afraid of posting anything on Twitter. This isn't about bringing them to justice or whatever, or even me fishing for attention or trying to be the bigger person.

The whole reason I'm here in the first place is because I made a huge mistake. That alone places me very firmly in the other producer's ballpark. I'll say it; I'm just as bad as they are. But I'm not here to high-road anyone.

I've said my piece and I honestly feel a lot better about everything already. Even if some of you don't believe me, I got it off my chest and that's all I wanted.

I actually might cut the timer short because you're right: I shouldn't have stayed this long. I should've dropped my side of the story and left. BUT before I go:

Vocaloid was an amazing part of my life. Even if it had ups and downs and goods and bads, I made a lot of friends and had a lot of good times. It's hard to let go and even harder to admit when you've fucked up. And EVEN HARDER to accept the consequences when you fuck up.

I'm here FAR FAR too late. I should've never done anything like STELLA, but I also should've never kept quiet abut the fucked up things happening behind the scenes. I was complicit in a lot of ways. I wanted to end that here and now, so I did. No time like the present, I suppose.

With this post, I bid you all adieu. A FINAL adieu. This is everything I wanted to say; with this final thread of what actually happened, I feel like I can finally just move on and put all this stuff behind me, even if some you are distrustful (which is within your right, as I keep saying).

But, before I go, from the bottom of my heart, I have to say that it was really fun being a producer, even if it ended in a dumpster fire. I'm sure some of you Anons used to be friends or acquaintances of mine; and I have to thank you too. It was a weird time for me, and Vocaloid, despite its craziness and my mistakes, was a defining part of my childhood and has shaped who I am. It's taken me years to get to this place (crazy, I know), but I'm hear now and that's what matters. Please know that I am not an evil person, I just made a mistake. Well, a few mistakes.

Anyway, I'll see you guys around, maybe? Thank you for putting up with me for so long, tbh. And I want to leave on a not-so-sentimental note, so I'll just say:

Thanks. From Planty, with genuine love. C:

Speaking of Crusher, apparently she's gotten the chance to have an official remix on Kairiki Bear's album. Whenever Japanese and Western producers do anything, it gives me a weird feeling since the western prods are clout chasing 24/7.
Compared to the original(https://youtu.be/aDJIhRlftU4), this sounds like it was made with 3xOSC and default samples. Why is the production of every western song so basic after a fucking decade?

Not suprised almost all popular producers have basically admitted they're not into Vocaloid anymore, but they're milking all these little kids' parents money for as long as possible. What happens when these kids grow up and there's no more kids to scam for rent money?

All of them have official designs already, so there's not much room to change anything. Though Dex was actually intended to be a white guy with a tan, and that reveal pissed some people off.

The current drama is dumb, but tbh most Leon and Lola fan designs grind my gears because they totally disregard the "soul singer" concept and only focus on animu.

1.) Circus does good guitars. Decent Al tuning. Otherwise unremarkable. My opinion on this one is open to change over a few more listens.
2.) What is this synth industrial? Poor Al usage. I don't like this track and I don't have many strong opinions about it.
3.) LOL @ Lystrialle using Al for folk. Of course, she did. Not bad, just unexpected genre. Pretty good Al tuning overall. It's not for me, but I recognize it is well done.
4.) Boring and disappointing for a BaggageLizard song, sounds like he phoned it in. He did well with Miku and Oliver, maybe Al just isn't for him.
5.) Its Vocaloid dubstep. It's stupid and fun. Either you like it or you don't. Good execution & tuning. As expected from the guy behind The BIG ALbum.
6.) Meh, unremarkable backing track, don't like Al singing in this register. It didn't catch on with me and I have no strong opinions.
7.) One of Empath's better efforts. Better than another fucking piano ballad. Would have been stronger without Daina. The extra vocals just seem so… extra.
8.) Wow, this was unexpected. This is probably the most surprising and unexpected tracks on the album. With a basic backing track, spoken word, and Al, this was the most tuning dependent track on the album for that cheesum has some balls, he went all-in on the Al.
9.) Great hook, rhythm, and mix/paster but probably some of the weaker Al tuning on the album. A little too much consonant slurring for a producer of GHPZ's tier, I hold him to a higher standard than most.
10.) Of all the tracks featuring guest vocals CyVa is the most welcome. The two really complement one another and overall really well executed. Mrs. Peach has gotten a lot better of the years.
11.) This song slapps. Probably the best track on the album and from Myst of all people. The last time I heard her use Al was a dumb Naruto cover. Excellent tuning, the song is very dynamic with a lot of nuance to it. My favorite track of the album and new favorite Al song.
12.) Great until 1:17, then Dex kicks in and dominates the track until 2:15 when they start dueting. Its an OK standalone track but I don't think it fits in well with the rest of the tracks on the album.

Damn he really went off. Even had to have Circus come in and be like “yeah, we’re like besties and we always pay full price”
Now wether or not he actually does pay his artists (which is doubtful considering he works/worked with Aki who avoids paying with money at all costs), this autism sperg is so unnecessary. What’s the number of spergs he has had on twitter? Like fucking 20?

Can’t wait for the backlash to hit when he drops the school shooter songs

This is just weird, I'm supposed to believe a grown man still types like this and he's still sore over what amounts to petty teenage e-drama from several years ago? You are probably as bad as the rest of them. Shame, because I wished you were the one doing AlexVox's work because Vocaloid is such a black box I've always been interested in. I was hoping for Planty's SoundCloud series to take off (where he talks about .dbb files) and that Vocaloid would have some kind of subcommunity like iOS jailbreakers and other tinkerers but the fandom gets fucking crazy over anything "illegal" like it's morally condemnable too.

I swear to god I hope this thread stops attracting washed up nobodies chasing after old drama. Think about it, imagine what it would do if this thread alone brings even more idiot refugees into lolcow?

I bought the physical version for the stickers pins and physical merch. I'd only buy it if you collect physical Engloid merch or want to use the Bandcamp app to stream. Otherwise there isn't any "supporting creators" because all the proceeds go to charity anyways. Charity is the only way big collabs line The Big Alliance works, otherwise everyone fights over the profit split. One thing I appreciate about big collabs like this. Some of the only times big egos ate able to put their ego aside, though some still try to make it about themselves.

Overall I ask very happy with the release. Big Al is am uncommon Vocaloid and I believe he had three capacity to sound good. Exactly 2 producers missed the point of the album but overall I thunk it is really well executed and a great tribute to Big Al. 4 tracks were excellent, 4 tracks were good, 4 tracks eye boring or poor. Not a bad split for a big collab. I will probably add Avalon Casino, Midas, The Alibi, and Justice to my general Vocaloid playlist.

Sage for music sperging, but maybe some of you will find it funny that fucking vocaloid out of all of things was what discovered jazz to me as a teenager and now I can appreciate it because of this weeb shit.

Back in the golden days of niconico jazz music where VOCALOID was used and had it's own vocajazz tag (I think there was a vocaloid tag for almost every genre of music) and there were some dedicated producers who stuck to the genre. I remember me and another weeb loser tried to make a jazz session with Luka and band in a box… Thank God it never saw the daylight because it was so dumb.

Damn I miss the old days, there was good stuff. A pity all that sticked in the western fandom are, well, talentless losers who only want attention. I'm thankful for all the good musicians vocaloid helped to create who then moved on though.

What are your motivations for buying her? If you want a pop female vocal CyVa is a much better voicebank, both in recording quality and enunciation. Ruby is amongst the most expensive of the Engloids as she has a high MSRP, never goes on sale, and you could buy Dex+Daina for the same price.

Even CYBER DIVA II is cheaper and her price is inflated to make Vocaloid 5 Premium look like a good deal. Though it is a good deal, if you are getting V5, definitely get premium for CYBER DIVA II , CYBER SONGMAN II , VY1 , & VY2. The extra Yamaha banks are actually good and the bundle is a healthy discount even if you were only interested in 1 of them.

Nope no "tiny" editor. Part of the reason many V5s dropped in price, they require a separate editor purchase.

The lyrics weren't complete besides the chorus when he previewed it on stream but it seemed pretty whiney and emo, at least lyrics wise.

V1 & V2 came with full editors.
V3 definitely did come with a Tiny Editor that limited the number of bars you could output at a time. You could still output songs, you just needed to chunk it and re-assemble the outputs in a DAW. A right pain in the arse, but I know some songs were put together this way.
I do not believe V4 came with any editors though some companies did create their own custom bundles that included a full editor.
I definitely know none of the V5s do unless its a Yamaha Bundle. I don't think any 3rd parties did any bundles with the editor.
Some editions of Vocaloid 4 also had that weird "Cubase Edition" for use on Mac. I think some versions of Crypton stuff had some Piapro Editor plugin? I am not sure, I never bought the Crypton stuff.

Hi JrHarbort/Mikufan.

Deflecting and or moving the topic isn't going to make us talk about you any less. If you don't want us to discuss you stop reprinting popular nico videos to your youtube channel and putting on airs. All this is doing is stealing views from the original p and discouraging them from posting more. Nobody wants to see a shitty reprinter have more views than their original upload. At least the translator's and subbers contribute something but you are purely stealing views and clout under the guise of "muh exposure" for lesser known producers. Makes my blood boil when I think about it especially.

But, it's not about asking permission. You can get permission to repost (especially from producers with broken English who don't navigate YT), but it's still exploitive to repost other people's work. You can say "I have permission to post this", or " "I want to give this talented producer more exposure" but why don't you just tweet the original link to the video video instead of reprinting the entire thing? Why not create fan content like fan art for that video? Creators don't like seeing their original content reprinted or even see a cover of the original get more views than their post.

No. 77071

Because he's been doing it for a decade, posts shit on a semi-regular basis, and interacts a lot with his fans. It's not rocket science.

Is he a garbage producer that sucks at making music? Yes. Are there producers out there much more deserving of the recognition he has? Also yes. But he didn't get his fame in a vacuum. He kept doing his thing and people began to recognize him after awhile. The more fans you have, the easier it is to get even more. It's just that most people aren't going to keep it up for long enough to get to that point.

Jfc I'm not even that anon to but you need to take a chill pill. Reprints have been a thing in the vocaloid fandom since the days when niconico was basically inbrowsable if you didn't have basic understanding of japanese language. Nowadays they aren't as needed as they used to but what's even wrong with it when both with it if the reprinter is granted permission and the author is ok with it? Do you understand there are many obscure producers who are actually benefited from a bigger channel with more exposure sharing their stuff? >>77019 Hell I'm a huge fan of AVtechNO! and I've never seen the guy complain about this channel repriting his stuff (and I was around when the KAT-TUN plagiarism shitstorm). You sound like fucking HnY when she had that huge aneurysm about people "stealing" her translations while crediting and linking to her.

You seem to have a huge hateboner for this dude, if you have this much milk of him just spill it and don't start retarded infighting about m-muh reprints. God I don't even know him, I just mentioned him because it was the first example that came to my mind, there are vocametal channels that also do the same.

I don't think the problem is him working with the engine itself and not releasing new voices (i've seen some being upset about it not being a new voice, but it's a small minority), if it were, i don't think people would take issue with it. there seems to be a general dislike for the fact that he hyped something as trivial as a mere web editor, rather than some actual improvement on the engine and its technology – of which has been pretty much stagnant, small updates here and there aside, the synthesis still doesn't sound like "the world's most advanced voice synthesis" as he loves claiming.

personally, i agree that this is something dumb to hype. this is like if AHS hyped people saying something new was on the way, and in the end it was just the ability to test their voiceroid in your web browser; a feature that while useful for potential buyers, means nothing for users.

i just don't think it's something to get overly upset about like people did though. the man gotta do what the man gotta do, in the end it's his program.

On the subject of Kenji. Have you guys seen this artist that has basically only drawn Dex religiously, in the same fashion that Japanese artist does? For someone who barely does shit other than bask in how he's Dex's voice actor, he sure seems to know how to grab asslickers easily. Lol

I encorage you guys take a look at this artist's profile ( https://twitter.com/viihmel ) as the sheer number of Dex posts from them lately have been almost obsessive (I've seen quite a lot of Kenji RTing him in my TL). My theory is that artists are probably seeing Kenji as an easy means to get clout, (given he RTs anything with Dex on it) since any quick glance on this rando's profile shows they didn't exactly draw Dex only before Kenji (ironically enough kinda resembles what happened to that other artist that now is basically Kenji's bitch).

No. 77124

>>77120

Sooo, I'm friends with this artist and since I know this isn't gonna comeback to him, Imma expose this situation, so, my friend actually has a crush on Kenji, so he actually started drawing Dex exactly because he knows Kenji rt everything with Dex on it, especially kinda of lewd pics, so it ain't for clout or anything, literally just for his attention, which grosses me out, I always have to see WIP's of Dex in whatever the hell and I'm sick of it lmao
But yeah, my friend draws him a lot and Kenji didn't even follow him for a while and he was super depressed and shit because of that, he offered to work for Kenji (for free) and Kenji ignored it but honestly I feel really bad for my friend and kind of feel like Kenji is taking advantage of him, I mean, sure my friend is drawing him willingly but also sends like a lot of signals that he wants to work with him (even if it for free) and he seems to just lead him on you know? Like my friend tries to dm him and reply to tweets but he has broken english and he just never answers properly, Idk, just makes me feel bad for my friend and think poorly of Kenji, like he's leading him on just to get more draws and so he won't stop.

Crusher never rubbed me the right way. I remember back in 2014~15 when she'd screech at anyone who got her pronouns wrong, even though she never listed them. She'd also change sexuality, pronouns and gender every so often like a russian roulette (ironic, considering she then decided she was just a "Cis Hetero She/Her" the moment she got in together with TheLivingTombstone, which means she basically was a transtrender lmfao). This would easily raise some eyebrows had it been a who in the fandom, and would've probably started never ending discourses, but as always, all of the """famous""" producers' circlejerks are protected by infinite layers of whiteknights. And like you said, as long as they keep RTing a few "miku said trans rights" or "minecraft bee is trans" BS, they'll be fine, regardless of the shit they do or how bad their personality is.

No. 77244

>>77242
It's kind of sad, honestly. I used to consider Crusher the least-terrible of all the big name western producers because while she definitely had a shitty, childish attitude, she gave me the impression of the only one actually trying to be a "real" musician. Though in hindsight, it makes sense that her falling out with everyone she's ever worked with is because she's a serial bridge burner who seems to bail the second she's mildly inconvenienced.

Like, look at her album. Half of it is remastered versions of songs she made in collab with someone else, except the remaster is just her. I guess she wants a version to market without any "icky" people attached to it. My personal fav is how she remade OBEY which was originally a Chipspeech demo, then she remade it with GUMI and now pretends her time working with Plogue never existed.

No. 77259

I've noticed that nobody here has mentioned R.I.P. Personally, I think their stuff sounds decent; their instrumentals remind me of GHOST's, but their lyrics don't require Thesaurus to understand. Their most popular song is CORROSION; it's pretty good, in my opinion. However, it ended up attracting a bunch of GHOST's fans, because it sounds pretty similar to most of their work. So now, if you dare to scroll through R.I.P's comment sections, you'll find all the same stuff you'd find in GHOST's.

I’m guessing none of the negative Nancies here has attended Coachella or many other music festivals? I read that Miku is rumored to be second to last at the Gobi tent (22:15 - 23:20), where Perfume performed before. That stage is where you go to see smaller dance artists, indie foreign bands and the more eclectic performers. The crowds may not be massive but they can be very good at that time. People that are not into Rage Against The Machine or Rex Orange County (rumored to be at the same time)will be hanging around the dance and art installation area.

I think people are just feeling cynical because of how many people have tried and failed to introduce Vocaloid to the west, and how so many western producers are banking on the "generic watered-down EDM to not scare the normies" niche for that reason. But I agree that the kinds of people who'd be OK with Charli XCX and Perfume are more likely to be OK with Miku's weirdness. It's a step in the right direction compared to confusing collabs like Dominos and Letterman.

No. 77578

the one positive I can see to this is that it'd be marketing vocaloid as, yknow, music, instead of most other western exhibitions of it where they go "look at the newest WEIRD AND WACKY thing from Japan. what'll they think of next?!?" a la david letterman and such.

At least Kyaami contributes to original songs by tuning for other producers. And with her recent single maybe she'll actually start making her own shit? What's this other guy do besides make covers and shitty VSCO girl memes?

Though I agree, it sucks that her covers get more recognition than the originals. The western fandom's entire culture around covers bugs the hell out of me. The majority of decent content in the west is just covers, and even then it's people all using the same VSQs provided by someone like Kyaami. People are literally to fucking lazy to tune their own Vocaloids, what's the fucking point of having one if you're just gonna use somebody else's tuning

>Also his tuning is fine? Have you seen his vsqx files?

Or maybe I just have ears. Oliver is a novelty— a fun one, yes, but a novelty item. I have never once hear a single usage of him that was understandable, and he has tons of background noise in his samples. Gumis samples are clean, and I truly have no idea what you’re smoking to claim her voice type is some sort of irrevocable “anime cutesy” voice. Bro she literally just sounds like a normal young woman. If you can listen to Meika Hime, Una, lapis, etc (aka ACTUAL anime cutesy voice types) and claim gumi is at all in the same category in her default settings, you need to get your ears checked.
But even if you hate gumi, there’s many better choices than Oliver. Avanna, for one. You can lower her GEN and up her BRE and get a fitting mood with her voice.

Vocaloid in general is a dead software considering V5 is a flop, so the ones who are actually not mentally handicapped wait for a new proper voice synth that isn't called synthv2.

God, I've procrastinated for so long I haven't just missed the boat, the port's turned to fucking dust. By the time I ever make an UTAU or something, Vocaloid's corpse is gonna be long decomposed. Is anyone else in this spot? I'm not trying to 'get famous' or build a name, I'm happy if I ever achieve making a shitty cover of Meltdown. I always found this fandom hard to participate because it's massively towards music/art production that requires anyone who wants to join to learn like a dozen programs. I remember being burned out as a teenager when cranking out a few covers for some songs I liked because they had no .usts then getting pissed off when I realised one of them never had an off-vocal released and I knew I couldn't settle for trying to clean it when all I had was Audacity and my teen brain getting stuck every step. Nowadays I don't even see UTAU as viable because it's so old, I looked at DeepVocal as an alternative but so far there's no real tutorials on what to do (yeah sorry my pea brain needs to be spoonfed all of this but it's all so ????)

Hope this doesn't come across as whining, it's rather that I wanted to say this hobby has really weird barriers to entry and only so much for regular people to do if they're not aspiring musicians (like, being a normal fan I think is not enough because we don't really 'do' fanfics or comics of Vocaloid, it's all about more music or more PVs if you want more 'canon' to play with). I'm still hanging around imagining my end goal just to be making a few covers I'd be proud of but it's always been the software(s) that really put me off.

There was a tweet I viewed, unfortunately I have no screenshots

I was a twitter poll thing not too long ago that asked people how they felt about Kagamine Len as a vocaloid. Everyone was down to earth about what they liked and disliked. Some praised Len for his wide vocal range, while others complained his voice is too squeaky, and prefer Rin over him.

This is even for most fanarts of Len posted: Most everyone in the comments feels secure enough to poke fun at Len. Obviously he has flaws as a vocaloid, and people are okay with admitting that, and still like him.

However, whenever there's an UTAU or Vocaloid whose creator is in touch with the western fandom, everyone defends said voice with everything they've got.

If you were to criticize Kikyuune Aiko's voice, on Twitter or whatnot, most people would be pissed at you, and the creator herself may or may not get involved - possibly taking offense because it's her voice samples.

Call Aiko 'Blue Rin' for instance.

The same is done here with Dex and Daina. Obviously they both have flaws, and people can have reasons not to like their designs (the kemonomimi which was removed anyway because zero-g is full of pussies) or the nasal sound of Daina's voice. Yet, if you criticize them, the creators and their cult followers will more likely than not take offense over that.

It really makes you wonder. I doubt Asami Shimoda is crytyping on twiter every time someone says Len sucks.

Is being nasal people's main problem with Daina? She has a laundry list of problems. Being nasal is just the tip of the iceberg for anyone that has actually attempted to use her.

My chief complaint about Daina is her Inconsistent Delivery. Lupin actually admitted this flaw on stream. Made excuses for Aki which may or may not be true, that this inconsistency was the result of direction from Anders Södergren, one of two engineers in charge of Dex/Daina who wanted a more "emotive" Vocaloid than an accurate one. Anders may have been pushing Aki, who had no formal training, outside of her comfort zone. Also, he may have been cheap/lazy in paying for retakes when there were notable flaws. If Dex/Daina are failures Anders Södergren is at least 25% at fault. Actually, I am willing to give Anders 100% of the blame, fuck Anders and fuck VocaTone. 100% of the Vocaloid Anders has been involved in were bad. He is the common link between all bad Engloids.

Besides delivery, my other complaint is the amateur level hardware. The Blue Yeti is, considering its use case, quite possibly one of the worst mic choices Aki could have chosen for vocal recording. Its capsules are tiny, only one is used for cardioid capture, and its frequency response is fucking terrible, RecordingHacks graph comparing the Blue Yeti vs the Rode NT1-A, a popular choice for many YouTubers. Not how it has almost no low end and how subdued the high end is. This explains a lot of Daina's problems. Her hardware choice was fucking terrible.

Also, I saw a 2015 selfie of Lupin with a Samson C01U on Twitter. Someone please, for the love of God, please tell me DEX was not recorded on a $50 USB microphone. Please tell me he didn't use that Samson C01U. Jesus christ what was the hardware budget for these English Vocaloid recordings? I know shitty UTAU users who had more pride in their work and hardware and they weren't even trying to make commercial products.

But in the midst of that, I'm trying to learn how to make art and music at the same time, and while my art is "bearable" it's probably still very NGMI. I can just barely work FL. I also have the intention to pick up 3D modeling after that too, it's really tiring. I'm burnt out as hell as well.

Quite a few UTAUfags make their names only doing covers. Yes, the fandom is past its prime, but the program isn't quite obsolete yet. If we're really moving towards DeepVocal, it might be useful to gain experience with recording and tuning in UTAU first, since there are years worth of tutorials available. I'd still recommend learning mixing (particularly EQ, some voicebanks need it) and basic harmony construction even for covers.

Which raises a question. Why is Anders Södergren, a Swedish national, the foremost expert on English voice synthesis? I bet you half the reason English pronunciation is shitty is that Ander is ESL and is configuring the voicebanks to his Swedish ESL standards. The more I look into Anders the more fucked up English Vocaloid seems at the very root, at it's very beginning by being involved in its production and having all the worst ideas. Looking at you VocaTone.

>>77928
The inconsistency is one of delivery. Aki's ability to hit a note accurately and then hold the note for the duration of the sustain without warbling. Trying too hard for accuracy from untrained vocalists supposedly leads to voicebanks being flat or boring, under Anders direction the Engloids were recorded to be "emotive" rather than accurate. Whether that was a creative choice, a cost-saving measure, or simply a limitation because of the voice providers, we will never know. We could have had both emotion and accuracy if they had hired professional vocalists from the beginning rather than raising people up out of the fandom.

Does anyone else feel like male voices just don't synthesize as well and maybe that's why they're less successful? Big Al sounds terrible (but is that down to his accent?), most male UTAUs sound ugly to me, like they're deep enough but turn mushy-sounding.

It would be plain sad if the answer to his involvement was simply "we couldn't find any native English speakers interested in this".

No. 78468

>>78466
Big Al is definitely a little crusty, but I think it comes down to just how competent the company producing them is. Big Al was one of PowerFX's first Vocaloids and their first time making a male voicebank. Compare him to Yohioloid, who I think is pretty clean and sounds good. And of the few male JP voicebanks, most of them are pretty good too (besides KAITO V3 who sounds like he's deepthroating cotton balls).

I think the biggest reason male vbs don't do as well is because there seems to be a preference for cute animu girls, which is why the market is so saturated with forgettable cute girl voicebanks. I'd actually love to see a company do something a little daring and go for a unique male vocal. So many of them are just trying to re-create Miku and that's just not ever gonna happen.

No. 78473

>>78466
imo male vocaloids belong to a really niche market of fujos (ex: something obscure like tonio has a small community of gay porn artists). They're dedicated but not enough to make an impact where it matters more (save for Len).

so yes, as >>78468 said cute animu girls sell more, even more with lolicon-bait characters like Una or the Meikas.

No. 78478

>>78468
"a little crusty" I'm kekking, anon. Yohioloid is okay but again I think he has a very nasal tone like Fukase does too. But then they're two very youthful sounding males. I love KAITO as a character but I was never that fond of his V3 for that same reason, I'd rather have his V1 in UTAU (I ignore those slap fights about how legal it is because to me it's like pirating Windows XP because I don't want 10 and would never pay for it even if it's the only option - either way, Yamaha/Microsoft won't gain a V3/W10 customer out of me)
>>78473
This is too unfortunate. Clearly the solution is to make a generic brown/black-haired male character who is isekai'd into the world of Vocaloid as an otaku surrogate so they can ship themselves with Miku through him.

So I have a question. I kinda of discovered you guys on accident looking up info on Vocaloid and UTAU. After reading through this thread, it seems like it is mainly a few producers that are causing a lot of negativity. I really don't want to become like that. I would just like to do this as a hobby in between my job and working out. Should I stay off of twitter all together so that I don't get into this drama? Also is commissioning a character design really looked down on? I can safely admit, I can't draw but I do know of some artists who I would be interested in commissioning.

No. 79056

>>79050
first, even if you're not here for long you should skim the rules/info so you don't get banned.
the drama a lot of producers get into has less to do with whether or not they get on/use social media, and more with their personalities. the producers we've spoken about here are pretty much all emotionally stunted, narcissistic, etc. if you're a well-adjusted person you should be fine.
as for character design, i personally haven't seen much hate about it. in my opinion, it's not a problem; plenty of popular japanese producers commission art for their characters. just be polite and make sure you credit the artist properly and you'll be good to go. granted, my view may differ from others, but this is basically what i've experienced.
all-in-all, don't let a bunch of adult children on the internet prevent you from having fun. good luck, anon!

No. 79060

Ah good to know. I will keep what you mentioned in mind. I will admit back when VO was still a thing I was a shitty teenager/ 20 something year old but since that has closed down and I have gotten a full time job, I have found my self more mellowed out and just remembering that people have a right to disagree and to not let it get to you. If that makes any sense.

79056 covered it. stay away from drama if you can help it. try not to pander to people and be "uwuuuu positivity!" for every bad thing that happens because some people think thats attention whoring and annoying

take a break and think before you type. consider consequences of what you say. if nothing seems like a good idea, dont say anything. its better to say nothing and earn nothing than say something and get flamed for it

to add to the "narcissistic" kind of producers, dont let fame go to your head. be humble

Oldfag here who's been years in this fandom. I personally advice you to stay away from the community. Only interact with people who seem well adjusted and chill and be in alert for any redflags at all, and as soon as you see something that may seem suspicious cut contact with them. As it's been pointed out many times in this thread and the last one too, for some reason this fandom attracts specially fucked up people like pedos and when not people (of both genders) tend to be very predatory. I had to deal with some of them myself as a teen, and I still deal with aftermath effects even after having gotten away from them. Be very weary of people with an autistic fixation for pedobait characters (ie lenfags and oliverfags, but to an extend rinfags and hardcore mikufags too).

You say you are interested on commissioning a character design, are you making an utau? I must warn you that utaufags are cancerous as fuck and tend to talk in cringy rupaul lingo (many of them are also trannies or genderspecials, or furries; oh god don't even interact with the furries). It is funny experimenting with the utau program and covering your fave songs and all, but for fuck's sake, don't become fixated with being popular and getting exposure because that's how you get caught in the net of fuckery. Use twitter for the bare minimum necessary and stick to youtube and soundcloud because that's where you'll have to upload your stuff anyway. And please, keep it at being a hobby and always be ready to leave the community if things get sketchy. I know people fucked up in the head enough to be obsessed with this thing to the point it's their main job for them, unironically. Also don't idolize popular coverists/producers because all of them turn out to have some amount of drama in my experience.

Answering to your question, I don't think commissioning a character design is looked down as long as it isn't a fanloid or something stupid, and if it's for your utau, as long as you do the rest such as the otoing and recording it and etc, I've never seen anyone have a problem with that.

No. 79143

>>79050

Like >>79132 said, steer away from the community. Especially if you plan to do UTAU things because in the event your singing OC gets popular, the salty utaufags will come at you if they can't get you to be in their circlejerk/clique. They'll do a smear campaign ranging from digging up things you can get canceled for or how your UTAU isn't a 34634534-pitch CVCVVCVCVCVCCVCWTFBBQ voice bank therefore the popularity is undeserved.

But for the commission, yes it is for an UTAU. I haven't even really been looking at designs yet because I figured I should start by trying to actually record well and oto well. (If it makes any difference my mic is a Sterling ST155)

No. 79205

>>79184
Pretty much. As for the UTAU stuff, don't expect recognition until you're fairly active and what not. Also, the community is so small and niche that even if you make your voicebank 8794589734 pitches and have 5358954 appends it could still only be used by like, 5 people max. So, take things easy and just do what you like personally.

No. 79208

Yeah I kinda don't expect to get famous at all. I just found a discord that encourages people to make utaus and has a lot of helpful guides. Also the guy I was buds with on VO before it closed is on there as well and he has kinda mentioned that as well. And as weird as it might sound I want to make it good for them and myself to prove I can make something somewhat decent…or at least be able to follow instructions. if that makes anysense.(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)

No. 79283

Pretty much yep. It's just that there is a disproportionate number of people in this community who lack that common sense. You'll get to see it yourself.

Anyway don't sweat it too much with your first utau, just try to have fun doing the thing and you'll learn as you keep trying to record and make new voicebanks. It's something you learn to do through trial and error, and since the recording and otoing involves several stages of production there is always something you can learn.

It's nice that you are getting some help with your first voicebank tho, good luck bud. Hope your friend likes it but don't get too sucked into it neither.

It's because making a black character is already them being generous and over the top, in their own eyes, so they decide to go the extra mile to also make them ugly, fat, trans, autistic, and hairy.

If we're continuing with the Calne Ca example, Calne Ca is different in that she's not strictly a Miku "recolor" and never was one originally. She was Deino's original creation and while her Miku-esque form is the way most people recognize her she's not necessarily "creepy robot Miku"

At the same time, people have made characters like Mikuo Hatsune obviously based on "wut if miku male", and straight up recolors like Miku Zatsune that were obviously just "miku but goth".

I never got the appeal of most derivatives tbh. The only time they're ever interesting is if the artist tries putting their own spin on their characterization or something.

Ah I remember when this started to become a thing on tumblr. It's transphobic to draw genderbends because they could be trans, but aren't, and drawing sex differences could theoretically make the absolute most sensitive people feel bad. Depending on how galaxy brain the person is feeling, the correct way to draw Mikuo is either to draw him as a trans man, or just draw Miku and say she uses he/him pronouns.

Anyone else seen this? Some Japanese Twitter users were trying to drag western Vocaloid Twitter into their callout for SOOOO. One side says SOOOO is secretly an asshole who sexually harassed a teenager into leaving the fandom, the other says he's being doxed and stalked by people holding a grudge.

On the topic of VOCAMERICA someone asked Aki a while back if they could get access back to the VOCAMERICA models and she said she wasn't distributing them anymore? https://twitter.com/codyboyo/status/1205403701361422336
100% its fallen off the rails and she doesn't want to make a public statement about it.

"it's more that we've decided not to distribute them to keep people from using them/distributing them on certain programs without permission" aka "I didn't like people putting them up on VRChat". It happens, get over it, lmfao.

Also I really hate Vocamerica now I wish I never funded the fucker. The UTAU shoehorning pisses me off (Namida is such a shit voicebank) and she still has yet to finish any of those stretch goals – most of which I feel that the money others spent onto the project got splashed elsewhere (she literally funded like 3 expensive kickstarters after her kickstarter finished).

surprised she made the models available for distribution in the first place. people dont follow rules and butcher models sometimes so i wondered why she thought it would be a good idea to let people use them if they just end up in places where she doesnt want them to be or used in ways she doesnt like

probably to promote the fuck out of vocamerica since adan and akuo are their model brands. where theres those two theres vocamerica. her mistake for thinking people werent going to do this kind of thing to the models lol

youre right. vocaloid is a waste of money, time, and is just shoehorning of not just their utaus but their own vocaloids. its a disgusting mess of "look wut i made hurr" and not paying people properly. the fact that people fall for it and help anyways for less is fucking stupid

If you want to be pedantic, Vocaloid is a super-genre like EDM. But there's not much point in arguing semantics.

The only mainstream artist I can think of that used a vocaloid is Porter Robinson. That aside, Western audiences as a whole aren't interested in character-driven product marketing in the way easterners are. Here it's just a tool to use to make music. And most artists don't want to be overshadowed by some instrument they use.

As for Aki And The Blubbernauts: Their claims to fame are being around for a decade and having a strong social media presence the whole time. Get a few charismatic producers that actually make good content on a consistent basis and they're history.

I'm sure that the fandom keeps a lot of would-be producers away too. I know if I was a serious musician in any capacity, I wouldn't be touching Vocaloid with a ten foot pole seeing as the fandom in the west is so fucking autistic, even IF the technology was enticing.

If Vocaloid is going to gain popularity in the west, it's going to be the way Porter did it, using the Vocaloid as a tool but opting out of any of the character-driven side of it. Which kind of sucks, because Sad Machine is a really popular song, but almost nobody knows a Vocaloid was used for it and even fewer people know which one it actually is.

Pretty much.

Phoneme swapping is where a user changes the pronunciation of a word than what the vocaloid predefined dictionary recommends. The vocaloid dictionary uses a weird mix of American and British pronunciations so a vocaloid can sound kind of werid on certain words. (At least with the english vocaloids) You can also use it to change the stress of word to a point of find a phoneme that is similar if the singer pronounced it wrong while recording.

The problem is the vocaloid uses a bastardized version of X-sampa phonetics so what phoneme sound they show in vocaloids isn't 100% accurate to what is being pronounced.

It's hard to explain but it is just the general ideology behind it. People consonantly pump them out trying to get the future virtual idol theme that can sing moe desu when most westerners can't. Also when you look into the actual files you can tell that most of these people don't know how to sing for their life with really inconsistent recordings and god awful amounts of background noise.

Also as much as people will scream and throw temper tantrums about how UTAU is it's own thing when you look at, it came out right when the vocaloid boom was happening and only got popular because 2chan put teto on it to make fun of vocaloid and its fans.

I mean I could go on about it, but I am hoping that with technology moving forward UTAU will just fucking die already and the whole " you can make your own vitrual idol" concept will die with it.

No. 81610

>>81593
>in what ways are they trying to be like vocaloids?

They're trying to be what Teto was to Miku but unironically.

Like >>81599 said: They want a virtual idol of their own. They're focused on the character aspect rather than what the software itself is there to do. The VBs are an afterthought and they often only bother making one at all because they need it in order to be legit.

What's funny is that "virtual idols" are tired and dated at this point. No one cares about them anymore. No one is going to become popular because they made a kawaii animu grill that "has a voice you can use to sing songs for you!!! WOW!!!!!" That ship has long-since sailed.

I feel like for an UTAU to become popular in the coming years, they'd have to be made by a popular producer who already has a lot of good work out. The appeal then would be that anyone could have a piece of that producer for themselves to use for their own stuff. You might not even need a character design.

No. 81612

its a shame too since ideally it should be about the "fun" and not about the popularity and character shilling. it would be great if the voicebank was really good too but id rather have someone who is actually humble and genuinely care about their projects than another person who only cared about getting attention and is an asshole about it

instead we get people making unoriginal and uninspired piles of shit who are in it for the clout and whine when people dont care about their utau. and like >>81610 said sometimes its about the character and not the voicebank. and it really shows. i dont know how people have the time to make so many utaus using just one person. how do they even manage all of that, especially if the collection is all shit?

then you have people like aki and kenji who try to make their utaus relevant by still using them or having them in vocamerica. namida is especially trash so shes really pulling straws by now

1. Make good content.
2. Schedule that content to release regularly.
3.Hire an artist or 2 to make the art you use in your videos (they'll share it, which is free advertising if they have fans).
4. Shill in designated shilling streets.
5. Trade shoutouts with other literally whos. Maybe even collab.
6. Bite the bullet and get some of those channels that just repost songs ("for exposure!!!") to shill yours if you're not getting famous fast-enough.
7. Keep it up for a few years.
8. ?????

I can name 8+ producers who've done all of that for at least 5 years, still upload regulary, had their music played at concerts, had their own collaborative concert and some of their songs well known, had collaborated with several other producers, utaites, artist, songwriters and have still under 5k subscribers, despite occasionally having a lot of views (surprise, suprise, on the songs that the algorithm picked up).

>4. Shill in designated shilling streets.

Where exactly? Twitter? You think modern vocaloid listeners search on twitter for producers? I'm not sure there's even a hashtag for them. Other than that, twitter kids alone are a pretty terrible audience.

>5. Trade shoutouts with other literally whos. Maybe even collab.

No one cares about shoutouts and most of the fanbase is only on insta for shit memes, cosplayers and figure hoarders. Collabs only work with the most popular of english producers (which comes probably with drama) because everyone else gets ignored and they change nothing for japanese producers.

>6. Bite the bullet and get some of those channels that just repost songs ("for exposure!!!") to shill yours

Again, this might have worked 5 years ago but not anymore because even those shill channels barely get views anymore because no one new discovers them.

I'm not even asking for e-fame, and I'm not a producer. But I've seen too many producers getting way too less recognition because no one discovers their stuff unless they are explicitly searching for it. And you only get relatively unknown producers in your recommendations if you are already familiar with other unknown producers. And even then half of them are squeezed between the top 10 popular japan ones with millions of views and shitty meme channel videos. It just sucks.

Porting isn't illegal but looked down on just as bad as redistributing because it's against UTAU & Vocaloid's terms. I feel like people are just moralfagging cuz "youre hurting the loids!!:( vocaloid is dying because of people like you!" and not because of illegality

Distributing is probably actually illegal since it's giving access to a paid product. Yamaha could def DMCA or sue. Way worse than people experimenting with software they bought and purchased, but again no one in the fandom cares about that. They're just mad bcs they think some furry being a weirdo with his software is "lit rally killing vocaloid"

I spent just like 60$ on my mic and the quality of the voice bank was fairly decent.

Not gahata Meiji tier but still it was far from a 2009 loid quality. It was just normal and it's pronunciation of Japanese consonants was just fine.

Many people make the mistake of spending a ridiculous amount on a mic to sing/record cause hurr Durr the more the better; they end up with asmr tier mics in terms of sensitivity that pick up all the noise in the room ironically, then the result voice samples are harder to clean. Don't buy a mega pro mic if you don't know what the fuck are you doing and you don't have the proper equipment to use it.

I could make some quick CV voicebank in a few afternoons myself if it wasn't by the fact that I'd probably out myself via the voice samples to some fags on that community who know my voice well; hell who knows if they lurk here lol

I have a cheap $30 mic and it also sounds ok… Even banks recorded on your phone can sound decent enough.

i'm thinkin if we unironically want to make a cowloid it should be in a private chat or something and not in a public thread that a bunch of producers hateread

we pretty much can't make an "authentic" western vipperloid at this point, cause not even /vip/ can do that, the fandom is too dead lol. but there's a lot left to satirize in the current community anyway. pointless lgbt characters, edgelords, etc.

No. 81794

>>81783
Nah not taking the risk mate, sorry. Sometimes you can even somewhat recognize the voicer's voice throught their utau's.

But I also agree a 30$ mic can do the job perfectly in this case. The Japanese pronunciation doesn't even have to be good; we're mocking a fanbase made up mostly of American kids who don't bother to learn to pronounce perfect Japanese neither.

No. 81795

>>81794
Well I don't mind voicing something since my actual UTAU doesn't sound like me and I'm not well known. Just pitching up my samples can make it hard to recognize.
I talked to a guy who made his own DIY mic for less than a dollar and his UTAU sounds good.

I wouldn't want it to have to be "western vipperloid" thing either. Just satirical UTAUs with minor if any inspiration from the Vippers. We probably wouldn't parody existing vocaloids like vippers(unless anyone wanted to)

So I just came across this in the utau community, there's this kid named doodleboxstuff aka daulton that's 15 and been accusing users from the furry utau side of sexual assault, abuse and even goes out of his way to become a bitch baby and spreads rumors about users being "manipulative" he even went out of his way to accuse some 14 year old of sexuality assaulting him even though doodlebox live in west Virginia and the other kid lives in new jersey. He then has this retarded thing about "adults being immature" and "I'm very mature for my age"
The kid is 15 and drawing furry porn for these… His words… "Grown ass immature adults" and then 360 and start accusing them as manipulators and people that "sexually assault" him. Utaufags I swear. They never seem to amaze me.(subjects must be over 16)

anon to be honest here, the utau furry fandom is full of sexual predators of minors and I know this because I know more than one. I know there even was a furry discord where people were asking minors for dickpics and that shit (don't ask me for caps because I don't have them, I just was told what was going on in there by someone else). This kid (cause you realize 15 is a kid's age right? that's why he's doing dumb shit) is most likely complaining about sexual harassment and rightfully so, I believe what he's talking about when he refers to "manipulative adults", even if he's lulzy.

I remember during the stream of her drawing this, she had only been sketching the one on the left at first and someone in the chat pointed out how she never draws dark-skinned characters (she even has a latino one that she decided to make pale- which would be 100% okay if all her other OCs weren't already white skinned.) and she defended herself for a solid 5 minutes and is now overcompensating with this. It'd almost be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
Not to mention the personality and gimmick of these two characters are ripped directly from Mogeko's The Grey Garden.

So I got bored and tried to find out who this Vocallouts person is. The information they gave in their last reply tweet was oddly specific, but everything they stated keeps bringing me back to Lupin/Nostraightanswer. Which, seems to not completely add up. With regards to vocallouts calling Lupin out, I don't feel like this entirely eliminates Lupin, as he could easily have "called himself out" as a cover up, or something similar.
I can't find anyone else who has the sub mark in the range specified, non-disclosed gender, uses nnd, same upload window.
In addition, "gender is a mystery" could just mean "i'm not telling you the gender of the producer I actually am".
Not to mention the fact he has an utau, and also hits the upload window. He posts to NND too, to my knowledge.
I think there's a lot indicating it could be Lupin, but I also think it's too outrageous to be him.
Regardless, at this point I've lost interest. I was having fun at first but I'm burnt out now so decided to share my findings.

I had a hunch it was tora_ouji/giraffey. fits the upload window on both yt and nnd, has an utau. what could be contested is the popularity range coz he has less subs than myst and aki, but cumulatively he could be classed as more popular - he tuned a lot of creep-p's songs that have millions of views as well as little ripper boy by pianobench. has even worked with planty.

vocallouts said they had to speak like edgy anime villain so people couldnt recognise their normal style. giraffey writes like any other twitter gay which he might've tried to conceal, but I think it slips through on vocallouts at some points: saying stuff like "__ is a bop" and "you hate to see it". I also found it weird that giraffey didn't chime in about vocallouts when all his friends were and he easily could've for good boy points.

if it is him idk his motivations, he might be vindictive that the people he grew up with (crusher, creep, ghost etc) are household names whereas he's fairly unknown. but if I had to tune creep's godawful music i'd probably snap too.

Can chorus battle drama go here as well?? There were quite a few anon accounts shitting on the SerenCB judges and rankings.

No. 86716

I don't know if CB drama is worth anything, but I'm a participant in SerenCB. It's very large as far as CBs go (75 groups submitted in round 1, which ended a few days ago) and many of us have put months of overwork into it, despite most of us knowing from experience that CBs aren't really worth it (lol). Drama is to be expected.

A huge number of us are pissed with the results. In our scoresheets:

-My team found a slight error in the formula it seemed SCB staff had used for calculations, but when we asked, they said the scoresheets we were seeing was different from what was actually used to determine the results. (I reread the conversation just now, but I could be misunderstanding so don't quote me. math is not my forte)

-We baaasically confirmed bias from one of the judges. We already knew the judge had a bone to pick with one of my teammates whom he was judging, and sure enough, he was the only judge to give low points there

-I saved the worst for last: you can get bonus points for "judge's pick". This is the second worst idea I have ever heard in my life, right after some CB that used the # of likes on the YouTube uploads to determine the results.
LITERALLY you can gain extra points if a judge is biased towards you… who greenlit this

We also noticed that ALL the higher ranking PVs share a clean, joyful, "typical CB PV" aesthetic, leaving the ones that broke this mold in the dust. I didn't want to think the bias would be so significant.

There was another calculation error that moved some teams around in the ranking, but I think that's pretty normal for a CB. The teams who were now technically eliminated are allowed to stay in, which I think is a good thing.

Again, idk if CB drama is worth anything, but that's my recent and fairly frustrating experience.

No. 86728

I'm in a group that received a judge's pick, LMAO. I was also kind of like 'wtf' because we didn't realize it would give us a point. It's definitely not fair and huge bias towards certain song selections…and judges preference.

Also the 2nd ranked group was severely off-tune and somehow their mix still ranked #6. I had to relisten to the original several times because I thought I had to be hearing things. It was a good entry but I have no idea how you manage to rank that high in audio with people blatantly off-pitch.

Okay but in this case I actually like the song. Yeah, it sounds chaotic and completely random, but I think that's the point.

Again, the song isn't generally good, but imo i think that's the point. Unlike creep-p whose songs sound like that because that's all he knows how to make.

As an artistfag I'm just going to flood this with piece with a bunch of its faults for the (new) art.
-The head is at a dislocated angle. -Dynamic pose of the original is lost and replaced by static 3/4 facing trash. -The overuse of shading is inconsistent and offputting in some areas (like the face). -The eyes are wonky. -Why are the orbs that hook around her waisteline?? drawn so crudely? Use the circle tool for a base, good lord. (Also a side note; why are one of the orbs now really big? Did she f/r just copy/paste them ontop of the other or something?) -I know Aki always says she wanted to draw Avanna with more curly/spiraling hair but theres too much density in the hair which makes it look very jarring. -That is not how freckle formations work, I am so sick of the "telephone speakers" freckles trope.

I guess the few things I like are that the bracelets actually fall ontop of each other and that the skirt is so much better.
But f/r this looks like something that was whipped up under a week or atleast rushed to catch the mikuredraw trend before it died which is sad.(No1curr, this is an imageboard so use greentext)

– NOT RELATED TO ANY DRAMA –
But it's been something I've been thinking about. In the song 〜Black Vow〜 you should know that as some point in the story Rin sells/throw away her wings to become a man (aka Len) so she could make out with Miku. I just wonder how would the song have been percieved if it was released know, with how the LGBT(QIA+) became. Back then whenever this kind of plot happened (character change sex/gender through magic or whatever) we wouldn't think much of it but right know it would've been "TRANS RIGHTS!! RIN IS TRANS!!", I just thought this change of perspective funny.

No. 96763

Ironically wanting to become a man is something many lesbians growing up wish they would do. So saying Rin is trans would be kinda homophobic in that regard.

I think the woke fandom for the most part only cares about transing Miku (and sometimes fakebois/tifs transing len and oliver) but I think Rin is left alone.

I just found my old FF account from my vocaloid phase back in the seventh grade and it opened a world of memories about VocaloidOtaku I thought I blocked out successfully. Specifically there was one user everyone hated that was pretty vocal about his love for 'ALL' vocaloids and not just the japanese ones. I can't remember his username but he had an obsession with Big Al and was a huge lolcow among the members.

With quarantine I have a lot of time on my hands and wanted to get back into the fandom. I'm interested in getting CyVa but I'm open to suggestions. Any tips for getting started? I initially was going to start out by doing covers of some easy songs to get the hang of things.

Assuming you're not pocaloiding, V4 cyva is kinda hard to get now. You have to buy V5 to get her.

Play around with some vsqs and see how they fix quirks. A vsq made for miku eng is gonna sound shit when played with a native english vocaloid for example.

Seems like they have a new producer to "cancel" every week. Lamaze is the current target, people are claiming he's pedo over a song(can see why lolishit is gross, but this community has a huge grooming problem and no one gives two fucks because they think the software needs to be saved)
Seeing people go "stan Mitchie M" instead is hilarious, wait 'til they learn about Eazy Dance

What's funny is I went to find the video and it turns out the screenshot/translation used in that tweet was taken from a channel full of shitty MMD porn, including loli. So apparently that twitter user is disgusted by one problematic line in a song but has no issue giving views to a channel like that? lmao priorities. Gotta chase that twitter clout by trying to cancel well-known producers instead of reporting actual pedoshit in the community

Has anyone noticed GHOST's attempt of getting donations for the BLM movement? It's good she's trying but she's pathetic. Instead of leaving a formal and serious announcement on how to donate with reference to racism and corruption that's going on currently, she types like a 12 year old and says simple shit like "haha i'll be doing whatever i can, stay safe, blm!" like all the people who post the black square and think they're off the hook, and is probably taking all the money for herself lmao

Honestly I'm just surprised that nobody has suggested organizing a benefit album yet. There are three canonically black vocaloids on the market and another two have confirmed black vps. Even if it fell through it would be relatively easy positive pr, actual interest in the project not necessary.

No. 101620

>>101584

Full agree. On her video she said something like "we'll be hanging out and having fun"! Nobody's really going to give you donation money for doing what you normally do? Like at least try and do something productive for your fans, like commissions or requests and if you can't, then just spread awareness and knowledge without making it about your pretentious ass.

Saw this shit on my YouTube community tab, reas the thread, and I have to say she definitely has to be faking it. It's especially embarrassing that she's essentially saying "muh alters deleted embarrassing old vocaloid songs!" Not to mention literally fucking everything Shay tends to write about is vent or "muh traumas" centered, the fact that sexual trauma (which is necessary to have to be diagnosed with DID) didn't come up one way or another is suspicious to me, but I could be tin-foil hatting.
You don't get to age 20 without realizing or having somewhat of an idea that you're suffering from such a debiliating and obvious disorder like DID. It just doesn't happen.
On another note, why the fuck is DID one of the top Tumblr Kin Kiddies disorders to fake? It's such a deep hole to dig yourself in.

No. 102038

>>101914
>>101913

could be true. if it is, my condolences to her. but the way she's so annoyingly funky and stupid about it she's most likely looking for attention, and I have no sympathy for that. She probably has one or two traumas but overexaggerates them for clout, also why would you constantly write about your traumas in songs if they're triggering events? Something doesn't add up. DID is a really serious and horrible disorder to have, her acting all chill and upbeat about it sickens me. I'll bet my bucks she'll use it to now do more shitty things and say "it was ma alter!!"

No. 102039

>>102038

her comment section on that community post is fucking disgusting, she's openly making jokes about DID, she's most likely faking. she's not even thanking anyone who gives her their kindness and empathy, just replies with "our brains rlly go thru childhood trauma and say thanks i will become people now" like what the fuck?? followed by "sure mentally ill ppl can function but this? ctrl+c ctrl+v." and now there's the fucking asshole joke of "ghost and PALS" pals being Ghost's alters. Just fucking disgusting.

I read it and it could be true, considering she has some good points on how DID can cause people to act impulsively and irrationally. But the way she's acting like it's something funky to have is suspicious

>>101914

You might be tinfoil batting. Also she did say she had a lot of confusion about herself so she was self aware, and DID isn't that obvious for the person with it, especially when alters can come up spontaneously? I'm not trying to defend her, but a lot of people can be really at war with themselves. Still, real or fake, her laughing about it on yt is milky
