Someone was kind enough to make this last thread.

Someone made their first upload onto nicodouga on Christmas. He might be worth keeping an eye on if he starts making more music. Don't know what to use for a name since nicodouga and piapro accounts have different usernames. I guess Shio is fine until he says otherwise.

It's funny to see oldschool Producers rising from their graves now that Kaito V3 has been officialized

English VOCALOID projects are more exspensive to create and they don't sell as well BUT their quality is slowly rising.(I personally REALLY want a Sonika V3)

HokBoy made a megamix for Funwari-chan's 2nd EP release. Worth checking out if anybody here is a fan of the Funwari-chan. There's a Shinnari-chan song in it too.

>>10299594

there's an S.C.X album somewhere but i haven't seen it

>>10315004

native engloids are bad enough. it's just way too hard a language. that's why they keep pushing back her release. I listened to a few songs from the beta and they were not impressive..

I used to be pretty into Vocaloid music, and I've generally liked everything they've put into the EXIT TUNES Vocalo- compilations, I even own the earlier albums.

But, recently I've tuned out of Vocaloid, these past 2 years. And when listening to the newer Vocalodream and Vocaloconnection, not much really stands out to me.

Have musicians gotten less creative, or am I the one at fault?

>>10315115

well almost all of the compilation albums are entry-level by design. there is almost no need to listen to them because the good songs seem to get recycled and remixed over and over anyway. however vocarock collection 4 came out recently and i liked it, although i already heard a lot of it from other albums.
it seems to me should think about what genres and styles of music you like and then look for albums of that style, instead of just downloading general vocaloid.

and there have been a ton of good albums coming out recently, and more are coming out of C83.

if you post what kind of music you listen to i may be able to give some specific recommendations later.

for me MOKSHA is pretty much album of the year but it might not be your cup of tea

>>10315074
ZG pushed back Avanna for a year and she sounds wonderful (Unlike most engloids you can understand what she is saying without much tuning)

>>10315115
You're looking in the wrong place if you want more creative vocaloid stuff. EXIT TUNES is usually just made of songs that get 100,000+ views on nicodouga. The only major label that's trying to actively support underground artists is probably GINGA.

>>10275089

>>10316434
He probably thought they used the Japanese word for 1 but that doesn't sound good.

VY1 has many names though (Mizki,Kiku Kobushi) so you could use those too.

>>10316434
Hey, this isn't bad.

>>10316457
Guess I'll stick to Mizki then.

These were released at Vomas23, so I don't know if these are what you meant. Found on taggleburr's blogspot.

>>10315115

if you've looked at the essential list (>>10264774) , you'll find that I haven't added exit tunes compilation albums on there
, but i did added other kinds of compilation albums for another reason.

like what >>10315174 said, compilations are entry-level by design, but the idea behind my essential list is to help people get an idea of what kind of music to listen to because there are well over a thousand vocaloid albums out there, and I don't like the idea of giving people a hard time finding the right albums. There are albums that may have this creativity you mentioned, but you just have to look for them. My essential list might help you find them, or it might not.

As for why I have those other compilation albums, it's to introduce listeners to other voice banks so they can have an idea as to what kind of music they want to listen to. If people prefer a specific voice bank without outside influence, that'll improve their taste.

>>10299594
Has this been uploaded yet? I can't find it anywhere.

>>10318621
Doesn't look like it but I'm interested in it too. Really liked the first Tabgraphics release. The second one was OK.

What are your favorite gumi albums?

>>10318510

i was actually thinking of the i-style project album. clean tears worked on 3 out of 5 songs.

>>10318939

5150, MOON, MOKSHA, GUMI ROCK are my favorites. GUMI ROCK is a compilation though so there will be repeats.

>>10316434

here is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SwzG2mlx8k

sounds way better than english miku

>>10319841
Okay, the english library sounds good. But that song? Terrible, just terrible. Especially for a demo.
Vocaloid weeaboos truly have the shittiest taste

>>10319975
Of course they have terrible taste, they're actual weeaboos for the most part.

>>10319975

the song was originally made in japanese, which is why the english version sounds dumb. it's also why the song was selected.

I actually like some of that guy's other songs though. But yeah, Circus Monster is shit. Hard to believe it got to like 16 in the weekly Vocaran at one point.

>>10320007
No, circus Monster was written by an American, in English. He made the Japanese version second. And it got to be the demo but a while back the Eng version of it actually got into the rankings, prob the first American producer to make it in.

Is their any good documentation on learning to create music digitally? When I search on google I just get random forum topics usually talking about things I don't understand.

Gosh darn the Mayu picture is hard to see on the catalog

>Still waiting for AKB48xVOCALOID and PERFUMExVOCALOID

I can still dream...

>>10322853

they are both made by the same person, circus-P/doofus-p. he released a compilation album in 2012 and half the songs are english and half are japanese

>>10324831
I never said they weren't the same person...?

>>10325799

you said he's an american who wrote it in english, as if that precludes him from making the song in japanese. which he did, first.

>>10333909
People usually talk about English of Japanese VA voicebank, such as Miku English and Luka English.

>>10333922

why would anyone want to listen to Miku sing in pig gaijin english?

>>10333896

they are bad compared to the japanese vocaloids. which is what everyone is listening to, to begin with.

>>10334082

whoops meant to reply to >>10333909

>>10334082
It's really just that the right people aren't using them as soon as SeeU came out she had a bunch of Korean songs but out but in the 8 years english Vocaloid have been out less than 1000 original songs have probably been made for each engloid which is really sad.

>>10334104

well korean (and even chinese) are both languages that are far better suited to vocal synthesis than english is, even if they are not as good as japanese.

no one is interested in the engloids for a reason. yeah english kaito and english miku will definitely get more attention then the native engloids do.

but no one is going to unlock the secrets of v3 oliver and make a masterpiece. english is probably one of the least suitable languages for vocal synthesis on the planet and nothing is going to change that.

>>10334171
Engloids have been on the same level as Japanese Vocaloid since V2 (Ann and Prima are higher quality than Miku and Luka) and synthesis of smooth english could also be done back then (See MasterVocaloid) so it's time to stop blaming the language or the engine and face the fact that real english musicians have a bias against synthetic vocals that other countries don't have (Miku was a fun joke product until Ryo showed that you could really create something with her )

The majority of people using Miku English will probably be Japanese producers that just want to use her for a few verses here and there or something. A common complaint with Miku seems to be that her English pronunciation is particularly bad.

>>10334299
>real english musicians have a bias against synthetic vocals

That might be true, but I think the real difference is appeal. Japanese vocaloids have the "moe" appeal(more often than not), which attracts a large part of the otaku community, increasing the number of fans and people collaborating. Not saying all songs are "cute" but I think most of it aims at the otaku base.

The base, which the west seems to be lacking in.(compared to Japan)

>>10334299

just because they have higher quality samples doesn't mean they can pronounce the language better. they can't. I don't know of any engloid that can correctly pronounce the word "heart".

it doesn't matter how high quality the samples are, the reason they don't sound good because of how many samples it takes to construct a word in english.

Anyone watched the latest weekly ranking?
What do you think about the new layout?

I think the transparency under the text is a bad idea. The background(movie) can make it hard to read. Other than that, I don't mind the modern look.

let's be honest vocaloid vocals sound robotic as hit right now. Better record actual vocal and then edit it, it's sound 10 times better

>>10335772
>vocaloid vocals sound robotic as hit

I humbly disagree.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bnFEb3qrT0

That, and not everyone is looking for human like voices.

>>10335772
It all depends on how you use them MitcheM tunes them with the editor first and then makes the pitch and note transitions more realistic in melodyne.

You can't be lazy if you want a nice sound from a Vocaloid.

>>10335772

the point is not to sound human, they are more than human

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsB0ncB8VbY

>>10335792
Still sounds like robotic shit to me.

>>10335804
>The point

Actually the original point of Vocaloid was to give artists a singer for their songs and revive dead singers (They have done both)

Seventh Dragon 2020 II is going to have a DIVA mode for its BGM. It's supposed to make it so Miku sings the BGM instead. This means the music gets remixed too. The artists list they got is actually pretty impressive.

2 anons atleast

And 1 tripfag that comes every thread

So I would say about 4-6 is correct but it's still nice not to have to discuss this stuff on the elitist forums like VO.

>>10337267

well anonymous imageboards have spoiled me in general. i can't stand any forum with avatars and post counts.

the utau forums are even worse though. i will never understand why so many people make their own UTAUs that no one else will ever lose and then roleplay as them when there are so many good UTAUs already.

>>10337355
I have been thinking of making an UTAU but I am kinda against it because I don't think anyone would use it constructivly.

I wouldn't use my voice ofcourse because I want to make an UTAU that is high quality so that others would want to make music with them or at least draw them instead of them just being an OC VOCALOID that "loves Len and hates Miku".(I wouldn't expect Teto,Ritsu, or VIP popularity but I want to create something like Mitani Nana)

>>10337430

well by all means go for it.

it is definitely possible to make a high quality utau, its just that most people do not put in the effort. they just want an avatar to roleplay as.

>>10337533
I know high quality is possible but getting people to use it is hard.

>>10337355
>>10337430
The UTAU fanbase is slowly evolving into an exclusively weeaboo thing.

There's so much immature shit associated with it thet people who actually want to make the technology evolve and have the skills to do so don't want to have anything to do with them.

And of course since said weeaboos can't make the differece between an UTAU and a Vocaloid it's plaguing both fanbases. So I don't mind UTAUs myself but at this rate they have no hope of being taken seriously

>>10337721

the western UTAU community has always been and shall forever remain a bunch of 15 year old girls.

Is there a big difference for append and CV03?

I saw on the wiki,
>Miku
>Miku append
>Miku CV03
>Miku append 2

Will there be a big difference? doesn't append make the voices sound smoother/clearer or something?

>>10342539
Miku CV03? CV03 is Luka you probably mean Miku V3.


Miku - Original 2007 Miku
Miku Appened- More Voice Variation
Miku V3 - Upgrading Miku to Vocaloid 3
Miku Append 2 - Upgrading Miku Append to V3

I think the only difference will be smoother vocals since V3 makes notes work differently.

>>10342569
Excuse me for being retarded, but...append is a voice variation? and append 2 would upgrade Miku append to V3?

>>10342579

V1, V2, and V3 are the vocaloid programs themselves. you can get V3 as a stand alone program. Miku V3 means the miku voicebank made for vocaloid 3. it has higher quality samples and a few other changes that i don't remember. but you can use the miku V2 voicebank in the V3 program if you want.

the appends are voice variations like SOFT, SOLID, DARK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a5ABHAhpR8

there is no difference between appends for V2 and V3, other than "optimizations".

baker uploaded a mix CD. Closest thing to an original CD since AREPK a year and a half ago.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19797580
Related to baker, I wonder if anyone is going to rip that TamStar Records CD that came out at Comiket.

Does anyone here have their own UTAU voicebank or have worked with UTAU? I had made a couple of UTAU back in my weeb phase but after a year got discouraged since the overseas community is a bunch of angry sixteen year olds. Anything worthwhile to get into now?

>>10345415

well teto, ritsu, nana, and im sure others have all gotten new voicebanks recently. (sakebi, kire, and S2 respectively). the utau community is not worth the effort in my opinion.

and i don't see the point of people making their own UTAU when there are so many good ones already.

>>10345557
There are many gaps in the vocal ranges and quality of UTAU banks so more should always be welcome BUT making an UTAU should be about quality and not community circle jerking.

I think the UTAU community needs a yearly poll like touhou has maybe these categories:

-Popularity
-Best Newcomer
-Best Original Song
-Best Producer

Etc

Things like this always inspire people to do their best.

>>10345823
Yes, but who could conduct such a survey?

>>10346000

Can't really blame them though...

>>10348111

i don't think so.

the only thing she has in common is the hair color and thigh highs.

she doesn't have twin tails
her headset is a keyboard instead of a pitch bend/wobble control
she has high heals instead of giant boots
she is wearing a frilly dress and ribbon instead of a school girl uniform and tie

although they did give miku green hair in this promotional picture to differentiate the two. if she had different hair color there would be no comparison at all.

I We would like to continue to provide to everyone a new way to enjoy unprecedented VOCALOID.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Back on February 26, 2003, VOCALOID was announced by Yamaha, and afterwards, various sound libraries have been sold by many companies. This year marks its 10th anniversary, and it is all thanks to everyone’s support.
For the next ten years, we here at VOCALOID would like to continue to work with everyone to bring wonderful music into being, in a diverse world whose horizons have been expanded by the numerous encounters enabled by the sound of a singing voice.
This year, we will start projects to commemorate this 10th anniversary. For our first project, we at Yamaha would like to bring to market a special sound library that commemorates these ten years. In doing so, we hope to bring to everyone a brand new way of enjoying VOCALOID.
We would like to take this anniversary as an opportunity to reaffirm our determination, return to our core spirit of product development and redouble our efforts to make us worthy of your patronage.
We would appreciate your continued kind support and patronage.

Oh man this sounds amazing.

>>10264772
Any news with Len?
While I'm mentioning him I might as well mention Rin too. Those two are great.

Vocaloids aside, anyone likes any Producers singing songs they produced with Vocaloids? I find myself attracted to Cosmo's voice.

>>10357513
Interesting, link me one you like.

Cosmo and Owata gaying it up.

>>10357513
I like Scop, MikitoP, Hachi and wowaka's voice. Especially wowaka... His new (non-vocaloid) album from C83 was great.

>>10358096
I like Hachi as well, but his choice of genre isn't my cup of tea... Owata has a nice voice as well. For some reasons, most covers for Vocaloid songs are best done by males. That said when I'm no homo.

How do I download vocaloids? What is best public tracker for vocaloids?

>>10268397
Why do english speakers listen to vocaloid even if they can't understand it? Because it sounds pretty.

>>10268255
suck my c0ck d00d

>>10358626

you can download pocaloid 2 for most of the V2s. im not sure about the V3s.

why no love for otetsu? nobody ever talks about or links to otetsu, and none of his albums ever show up in those essentials lists people make. this is one of those cases where i'm consistently frustrated that an artist i think is brilliant isn't getting enough limelight.

otetu's released nine albums jam packed with killer vocarock and is regularly featured on exit tunes compilations, including having his very own best of compilation. it's some of the best vocaloid rock from a country much superior to ours with deep, intricate meanings that us baka gaijin simply cannot understand. watch for a second.

Yuuyu isn't that bad.

Of course acane_madder is great too. I wish she made more songs where she sang herself.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11423672
>>10358744
I'll mention otetsu. His own voice fits his songs perfectly. It's like a regular V-kei singer's.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17786621

>>10358768
if memory serves me right he's not all that bad-looking either so i wonder why he isn't sitting pretty making mad yen flow off of major record deals right now.

>>10358601
>This video does not exist.

are you implying something?

I just stumbled on Funky Husky Cool Girls and it's just really life enhancingly awesome. I pulled Virgin - daisuke-P off the tracker it's a pretty great as well. But there doesn't seem to be a wealth of work from daisuki-P (the producer?). Can jaypee recommend any similar sounding works? I need there to be more than this.

>>10358768
Yuuyu's covers of PinocchioP's songs are great too

>>10360483
Yufu!

I wish UTAUs were more popular...

>>10360760

why

>>10360942

>>10360942
Because several of them have potential.

>>10360944
>>10360960

people can't just like something because of it being popular.

>"OH, these people like UTAU, I'ma like UTAU so i can be liked by others!"

>"if everyone else likes UTAU, then chances are I might like it too!"

those are the big no no's that I want to avoid.

tastes should be based on your own opinion and not what everyone else thinks and likes. It's important to have good taste because it helps you develop your own opinion on things, you dont depend on others on what you should like, and it'll help you appreciate things a lot more. Most importantly, it helps you develop willpower for yourself so you wont be easily swayed by other's thoughts.

call me a hipster if you will, but being able to have your own taste and opinion helps you build character. building your character means you can express yourself truthfully and be unique. if everyone shared the same opinion, they can all be easily controlled and have no willpower for themselves and it forces other people who have different opinions to be "casted away". that's why reddit and vocaloid otaku is such shit, and part of why the vocaloid transpacific project is going to make things worse.

I don't disagree that UTAU has some potential, though. It's just that people need to find out what UTAU is for themselves and/or have to decide if they want to get into UTAU without the influence of others.

>>10361822
Well, I could have worded that better, but I meant "among the song creators".

I do agree with your points on the fan-bases though.

I forgot to add...to clarify, here's what I mean by having taste:

you like something because of different aspects of So and so and not just because of it being popular.

if you like something that is popular, it's fine as long as you dont just like it because of it being popular. It's also fine to have "Guilty Pleasures" as long as the reason is justifiable.

>I like DECO*27 because how miku sings in his songs, and there's something about his songs that I like

it's like sampling a lot of various alcohol and wine and beers until you find the one that you really like and that you had no one else recommend you that drink. It's how I put it metaphorically speaking.

>>10361865

oh my bad lol. If i'm not mistaken, you meant "potential for the UTAU voice banks to be used by producers and composers for great songs"

if that's what you mean, I would agree as I'm sure the voices like Yufu sekka, for example, might have rigid use but still she could be used for some great songs i'd imagine.

I would actually love to get into UTAU myself. I just need to find the time to do some research and find out how I can get started.

>>10361872
I personally love every Vocaloid/UTAU who can impress me with at least one song.
Defoko was a real surprise though. She was really weird at first, but then I came across "Purplink", and that changed everything.

I doesn't seem like i will beat ''Hard'' anytime soon. But i'll keep trying. I still struggle on getting standards and excellent on Normal level. (´・ω・`)

Still playing Project 2nd since no vita.

>>10366605
I was like this when I first started playing 2nd, now I don't play anything easier than Hard, ahaha.

I know there is weekly Vocaloid rankings uploaded by sippotan on niconico, I think a daily one too by someone else, but is there a monthly rankings anywhere? I used to check new uploads everyday but I haven't in about half a year so I'd like to see what has been popular.

>>10366605
Get Extend!

Meiko is best pony

wow, /jp/ likes vocaloid now?

I might start visiting you again then

>>10368360
Only some of us do, which is why it's better to keep everything in one thread.

Interview with HikkieP/Ohtaka Tomooki. Talks about the current vocaloid scene, his new album, and why he's glad his new album is out. There's also a link to another interview with him 2 and a half years ago that's interesting to read at the beginning too.

Unfragment remixes is apparently up on astost. Does anyone have access to it (I don't) and can reupload?

ever think that the vocaloid voicebank market is getting saturated?

excluding UTAUs and engloids, there has been a lot of voicebanks released lately and they don't even sound that different from one another, it's hard to keep track of them all

>>10397009

they have some variety but yeah thats what I was thinking too, I just couldn't find the right word for it which you did.

mew, akikoloid, galaco, mayu, yukari, CUL...yeah. It's not that they're bad, but are similar in the sense that they're female alto's...too bland.

IA would have to be the only good japanese girl voice to come from V3 though.

>>10397645
>IA would have to be the only good japanese girl voice to come from V3 though.
I personally disagree, I can't stand IA's voice. It's so bland.

>>10397645

well they all sound distinct at least. and i don't think galaco and akikoloid are even publically available.

>>10401614
Galaco was a limited edition prize for getting 1000 views on nico V3 contest (There were 2 seperate chances to win her and I got her the second time) and Akikoroid's status is strange because they were promoting her like she was going to be released and then kept her for themselves.

>>10397009
We could use some good male vocaloids coming out.

>>10402227
Male voices are harder to sell

Has it been a month already?

2013 Yuki Miku is pretty. I love her wavy, odango twintails.

VY2 is terrible though. The only good male voice is piko.
