im such a sucker for like, very genre-specific/vocal-style-specific voicebanks used in songs outside the genre they were made for. adds such a great character to it - rap vocals singing is a particular favourite of mine (the rap data adds so much personality to how words are articulated) but also im always a fan of like a denpa-y idol-y voice doing a big singerly power ballad, or super powerful rock focused vocal doing soft bubblegum pop, cutesy cartoon mascots and joke characters doing serious edgy or dark songs, etc... its about the gap moe
#needless to say i am vibrating with excitement over tone chroma 1#im not particularly interested in buying it myself based off the teaser or anything personally#but dear GOD i cant wait until we learn more about it and people get their hands on that voice#i wanna see what people do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i love when people use prima and tonio and cheng xiao for non-opera its so fun and cool. so im very excited :)#ALSO just in general excited for the whole tone chroma series. iirc they mentioned they were going for genre-specific focuses these series#when they were recruiting vps for the project. im so so so excited to see where they go with this

btw this i why i keep calling the dreamtonics letter voicebanks "the letter people"
youtube
#vocal synth wip#i guess.? i'll probably mess with the mixing more but probably not anything else LOL#also yeah i will bring up the letter people once every year or so. i dont know why im so fascinated by this childrens reading tool franchis#one of the few puppet show things im aware thats not canadian or the muppets which is interesting#also i like that mr x is a scary tortured freak in the original songs. they made him gentler in later iterations#wait sorry im talking too much about the letter people. im ignoring some responsibilities can you tell#Youtube

our life is a preddy good video game but its also one of those things thats titled in such a way where i can literally never type the name correctly. our life something or other. our life something & other.
#my dad was misremembering the name of our usual laundry detergent#as 'free & clear' rather than 'free & gentle' (probably confusing it with those old skincare commercials)#and that reminded me of how much i can never remember this games name for the life of me#im a backer. i literally backed the first game. but i also cant remember the name orz especially now that theres the sequel in dev#our life 1 and our life peggle & 2 is the names in my mind. im really bad with certain words LOL#i should finish that game. i really like it. im not really one for low stakes slice of life things usually but im so enamoured with#the complexity of the choices. just the sheer amount of it all. really neat

im so excited to learn more about synthv2 in the next week i wanna know so bad if they're gonna put genbu down like a dog or not
#JK JKjkjkjk sv has been preddy good with legacy stuff. you can still mess with svr1 stuff easily#and some third party companies even let you download old versions of their voicebanks if you bought em#even if sv2 doesnt support standard voicebanks we still have sv1 <3#but also i do wanna know. im so curioussssss not just about standard voices but also like#what kind of new features.... im intrigued by that ui preview they posted with the announcement#phoneme adjustment improvements it looks like............ hell yeas#and what else.. dare i hope. mayhaps.... glottal effects??? nah theyre not bring back glottal effects LOL#BUT im excited!!! what does da future hold........................

the patient needs to finish her wips. NO finishing her wips will kill the patient. she needs to start more SVPs to live
#vocal synth wip#i think i made that joke before#and i will do it yet again#anyway speaking of songs i thought had an official instrumental and then didnt LOL#i think i have most of it down kind of! i dont know the bpm. or key. i guessed#BUT i think most of the notes are right. a couple still sound off but most sound right#and im basically happy with the timing. thats always why i get like 80% done a wip and start a new one LOL i try too hard to match the#originals articulation but im getting better at being more relaxed#speaking of articulation we knew maaya sakamoto is a wonderful singer but MAN i kept getting blown away by some of the#little subtleties in this song. shes very delicate with her ending consonents which gives it such a intimate feel its great#OH also i need to add breaths. and i have no clue if the IS SOMEBODY THEREEEEE layer in the middle is correct at all <3#and the phonemes need to be messed with a LOT. calling needs to be soften and tomorrow needs to be tomowrow rather than tomarrow#and i didnt do the vocalizations at the end of the song. im not sure if i want to hgkjfdhgskjfdshjfsd theyre scary....#we shall see BUT in the meantime DID YOU KNOW rikka has like. some really good vocal fries in cl#i knew she had like a subtle one but it turns out if you use the alt1 or alt2 vers its waay stronger which is awesome#leaving you off with that. now if you'll excuse me i need to go start another svp

theres so many like classic anison with official intsrumentals that im always surprised dont have any vocal synth files out there - like not even like a super old dead download link made by some english speaking kid with incorrect lyrics or anything. then again there was probably fear of copyright takedowns LOL unfortunately for copyright holders and also me i have no fear of anything ever
#i guess also sometimes those official instrumentals are hard to track down too#i keep running into situations where like. i think theres an official off vocal. i see it in my minds eye#and then i look it up and it turns out there is none. im fabricating them in my heart

its a little wild to me that synthv's default phoneme choice for "and" is [ax n d]. i guess is not incorrect or anything that is how its pronounced in plenty of dialects and you hear it like that in like i dunno. music from the 40s maybe. but for most contemporary pop music from the last 3 decades people are definitely [ae n d]ing that shit
#ax sounds okay in like really long 'and's i guess. but in english 'and' isnt a word that gets elongated in music often LOL#in short 'and's it sounds so off most of the time tho like uhnd. instead of ann-d#i need to use the dictionary function so it defaults to ae instead LOL but im lazy and i never use it <3#is this like a vowel shift thing or something. or an artefact of sv's arpabet based phoneme system#or is my ontario accent too deep into my brain that i hear all 'and's as ae n d now#she needs to be put down. she has a terminal case of being from ontario.

Playing with vocal synthesizers is crazy man you'll start out like "yeah I'm not interested in making any original music or anything I just like fooling around and making covers" and after a year or so of doing it regularly the piano sampler in ur daw starts whispering into your ear at night like "unless...?"
#no.....i dont know what im doing....i only barely understand key signatures and chords and shit#i made a couple little tunes in like fucking lmms years ago but thats the extent of it forever...#unless....................unless...................

Whenever someone complains about a techno or other electronic genre being used as a soundtrack for something you wouldn't expect as like "unfitting" or "jarring" I'm like. You buffoon. You know NOTHING you understand NOTHING.

and i know as an electronic music enjoyer the way i talk about and distinguish genres to laymen is a bit like that fuckingggg meme about men vs women colour names or whatever but like actually real. hold on. its a bit like this
#i understand on an intellectual level as an artist and a language enthusiast why so many musicians hate specificity in genre labels#but as a electronic music liker i cant help it. i can tell the difference between all these. i can see the difference. i can taste it#each one is distinct i can TASTE IT

in general ive been really intrigued by techno recently. what if a drum machine did a backflip in your eardrums
#i watched that movie. challengers recently. actually okay. i uh. i had watched like half of it like months ago#by watching someone elses screen a few rows ahead of me on a planeride. its a bad habit of mine. i had to stop myself at one point#because i wanted to watch it normalstyle instead of eavesdropping on a strangers plane screen LOL but anyway i watched it for real#like a week ago and its a good movie i like the bisexuality of it all. but man that SOUNDTRACK. i got jumpscared at the credits#when i realized it was atticus ross and trent reznor again. why is any interesting soundtrack in a new north american movie ive seen by the#theyre following me. anyway i was like damn. i need to listen to techno RIGHT NOW so i listened to various playlists of techno old and new#and as a wikipedia boyfriend i was reading various articles about the history while listening. immersive experience#anyway its been really great and really interesting! its crazy what people are doing with like#those drum machines and sequencers in the 80s. casting spells and shit. its awesome#its a shame basically any electronic or synth using instrumental music gets lumped under techno by laymen#because like all electronic genres its so unique! its got a unique sound! but i guess thats how it ends up

this song's percussion is INSANE. for a piece of game soundtrack called "town 01"
im really addicted to the like, speedy clap volume fade in situation around the 2 minute mark
#musicposting#i should musicpost more often. maybe i'll start using my queue. purely for musicposting?#anyway this whole soundtrack is awesome. i havent even finished listening to the whole thing i had to stop to post this#because that weird fade in was so bizarre and it blew me away. ive heard plenty of percussion fades akin to that before#but not with. rapid drum machine clapping? what the fuck? this rules#other standouts so far are the opening obvs. and woods and port. also desert is preddy good#ive been going through my to-listen backlog (king of backlogs. i even have music backlogs. backlog god) and this is a treat#but also dangerous cause i might need to put more riow arai stuff in my backlog. my backlog will never end#what the hell is this game about. it was like an alt storyline ver of front mission 1 right?#WAIT just got to airport. holy shit thats another standout track#anyway it looks like its an alt GAMEPLAY spinoff of fm1 to offset costs while fm2 was being developed#i havent played any of these games. maybe i will someday. unfortunately alternative has no translation and thats the only one arai scored#but yoko shimomura scores some of the original game so im sure i'll enjoy that plenty LOL

#art#traditional art#watercolour#oc art#ocs#oc group: unsorted#oc: cicadagirl#sorry her bank has been so slow going! busy with school and such#she now. has a couple more consonants: h and sh#we're getting there. we're getting there <3#design wise her hair is pretty well decided on but i still flipflop on the wings#maybe i should just make it explicitly an option. i like her with the doofy tiny wings#but i also like her with big ass wings and no wings at all#and i REALLY love her with harpy type arm wings#all are good. outfit and colour scheme wise i have no clue yet#i did need to draw her in the colourful drop outfit tho. i feel like its so iconic#every synth should be drawn in the colourful drop outfit. everyone. its classic
