Mushroom_king Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Is anyone here into Vocaloid? Or know what it is? I'm mainly asking this because I'd like to see how many HDers like it, plus I kind of wrote a fanfic about Vocaloid that I was thinking of posting. If anyone here does like it, feel free to name some songs you think are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Vocaloid is really amazing! I first became aware of it in Japan. It has been around there for a long time. I would love to hear some of your songs through Vocaloid. Do you write your own music as well as the lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom_king Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I've actually been wanting to purchase Big Al or English Miku when she comes out so I can put my songs on YouTube, or possibly both of them so I have both female and male options for songs. One of the lame-o things though is that some of the Japanese-language characters would suit my songs better, but they can't sing in English too well. I would like to use Kaito for my EarthBound songs but he can't sing English. Nevertheless, the software is crazy expensive and I have to think about which ones suit my needs before buying one. Until then, I just listen to other people's songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 You are so right, the software is very expensive! I just listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom_king Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Same here, at least for now. Another problem is, with most of the amateur songs I've seen (especially stuff produced with english language characters) it's difficult to get them to sound real, and even professional songs sometimes sound robotic, and I would want them to sound realistic.

Horatio Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 There was a note I made to myself to post here and now I cannot find it. *absent minded hamster* Anyway, I will have to get the name of a great free program to give you. One of my first officer's told me about it and I wrote it down for you, now I will have to ask him again. My apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom_king Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Korean Vocaloid "SeeU". Have you heard her demo yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I sent him an email, we will have to wait until he replies. Can not find my notes on the name of this free music program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowurm Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 To quote The Wiki of All Pedias, Utau (stylized and most often referred to as UTAU) is a Japanese singing synthesizer application created by Ameya/Ayame. This program is similar to the Vocaloid software, with the difference that it is freeware instead of being released under third party licensing. So I guess that's the free vocaloid-equivalent you were thinking of, Horatio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I believe you are right!!!! Thank you for posting the information. I had totally forgotten about this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexxscrapham Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm somewhat suprised there are so few Vocaloid covers of "Dasiy bell" on youtube... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 True. What is interesting is that fifteen years have passed since the idea first began. Daisy Bell is the original name for the vocaloid, after project Elvis, So you would think that you would find a lot more Daisy Bell covers. I find it interesting that it took four years from the start of the project to release Leon and Lola. Yamaha Corporation has really accomplished quite a bit with Vocaloid. I have spent too much time listening to Vocaloid on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxscrapham Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 well, a bit more than that... Arthur C Clark hearing a portion of the song synthesised was what inspired that scene in 2001... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I did not know that. Very interesting. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Lexxscrapham, please take a look at the You Tube, LatteArt of BELCORNO - from Vocaloid "Miku Hatsune". If you are not currently a fan of Latte Art, you soon will be. This artist is really incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
