Mr. pee

man sometimes i feel like people are way to attached to the idea that making music with vocal synths should require lots of effort, and require lots of hours of "tuning" to be valid. but to me vocal synths is more of just a tool to make vocals. i still really enjoy the character element ofc, but after using vocaloid 5 for several years, i was very unmotivated and didnt feel like i could articulate my ideas in it well. i mean i really enjoyed the creative element/idea of vocaloid but english voicebanks in vocaloid always... sounded off. i think alot of people say they find it "charming" now but for a while it was met with lots of derision. english is too phonetically complex for concatenative synthesis or whatever. it works really well in japanese, though. anyway, some people dont like synthesizer v, because the vocals are "generic/samey" and also too "realistic and soulless" which makes me laugh because like if its sooo realistic how is it samey? some people think any realism is bad or "soulless" and i think its because people liken it to video game graphics, but in my opinion its different....
