Vocaloid Music Recommendations

     Some of my favorite artists are GuitarHeroPianoZero, Jade S, DoNotCrossP, Kyaami and Ady S.
     I Won't Let You Cry is just my favorite Vocaloid song ever. Period.
     Some realistic, chill Vocaloid songs to start out with: I Think I Just Died, Dream With You, Sunflowers In Your Eyes, LUMi Song, I Only Wait For You, A happy ending that nobody knows, and quiet room.
     Don't worry if you don't recognize any of the singers now, I'll begin to identify them a few posts from now.
     After you've listened to those, here are some that purposefully depart from a realistic voice for the purpose of the song: The World Tonight, Dance Machine, Pretending, Fade Away, Breaking Point, Mr. Taxi. It's another style of Vocaloid music that I can't afford to leave out. Also, some Vocaloids aren't very inherently realistic, so this is an effective technique to make them sound good anyway.
     Here are the songs I like, basically, 'cause they sound good, and not for the above reasons as well: eTeRNiTY, Still Love You, Define Me, mErcy, Sound Forest.
     Glowlight: This song inspired a short story of mine, actually. I’m working on editing it now. Maybe I'll share it on the blog sometime.

Introduction

     Ah, actual content! Yay!      Ever since their invention, computers have been made to do amazing things, so much that they do some things better than humans. Computers surpassed the entire human race in raw computing power in 1977* and since have bested us us in chess, GO, and other games. But computers do have a definite advantage in those kinds of things, they are made to input, store, and use concrete information, which, compared to them at least, humans are inherently not as good at. How about we give them a real challenge, an unfair one, one that is the most biased towards humans’ skills as possible, so we can feel good about ourselves for at least a decade or so… How about singing? The human vocal cords are just so weird and so unique that anything other than humans singing will be a real challenge. I mean, they’ve been able to do that since 1961, but that certainly doesn’t mean they sounded human. The IBM 7094 sounded like a cross between a ro...

Vocaloid Descriptions: LEON and LOLA

Image
     (Note: I know I promised to do the Big 8 first, but their descriptions are actually slightly painful to write. I can't really... appreciate them. They're kind of annoying, honestly. Well, mainly the CV series, and I think it's because people think they're THE BEST Vocaloids EVAH but they really aren't, mainly because they're voice acted. But enough about them! Leon and Lola are awesome, so I'm doing their descriptions this week to take a break from that.) LEON and LOLA      Voice donors: Two anonymous soul singers.      Engine: V1      Company: Made by Yamaha, sold by Zero-G      Release date: January 15, 2004      Updates and/or additional voicebanks: Nope:(      Language: English, although I have seen Leon sing French once.      Voice type: LEON is a tenor with, in my humble opinion at least, awesome falsetto. He has a British accent. LOLA has a de...

Vocaloid Descriptions: Kaito

Image
      (Note: I almost forgot this, as there isn't really anything much I feel like I need to say.) Kaito's V3 Boxart   Kaito Voice donor: Naoto Fuuga is his name. Or rather, his pseudonym, a play on the Japanese for “tasteful sound.” No one actually knows that much about him, including his real name and birth year. Engine: V1 Company: Made by Yamaha, sold by Crypton Future Media Release date: February 2006 Updates and/or additional voicebanks: unreleased V2 appends, V3 update with three voicebanks (Straight, which has the same vocal tone as his V1, Soft, and Whisper), and a V3 English voicebank. There are hints that a V5 update is being planned. Language: Japanese, English Voice type: Light, soft male voice designed for baritone and tenor ranges, although he tends to lean more towards tenor. Weaknesses: Some people complain that his English sounds like Kermit, but although it’s a bit quirky, I just find that ...
