Yep. Another Meta-Note.

You may be wondering what the Introduction (Please Read!) thing that went up on Tuesday on the sidebar was all about. Well, it was because I was poking around in my Blog settings and noticed that there was this thing called a "page," and I didn't have any pages yet. I was a bit confused at first, but I eventually figured out that they were basically the equivalent of un-dated posts that didn't get buried under all the other ones. I thought that would be a great place for my Introduction to Vocaloid. So, instead of actual content on this Saturday post, I have that instead: a new-and-improved Introduction.
     (You wouldn't believe how tempted I was to put the Vocaloid cover of Never Gonna Give You Up as one of the examples)
     *coughs* I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my viewers, who used to not exist. While I was poking around in the blog settings, I also found this:

     That kinda surprised me. I didn't even know anyone read my blog, so thank you so much for taking time to read this every Friday and Saturday (even if you don't comment very much, heh). Funny, when I was the reader, I would brush off thanks like this, but it feels totally different when I'm the one thanking other people. It means more to me than you think it does.

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: Megpoid (Gumi)

Image
     (Note: I have realized that, ya know what, I don't have to describe Vocaloids I don't like. So there. Oh, and about Gumi vs Megpoid, Megpoid is her product name and Gumi is her character name. I know, it's confusing, but it it what it is.) Gumi has a lot of different boxarts so I just chose this one. Eh. Gum i Voice donor: Megumi Nakajima Engine: V2 Company: Made and sold by Internet Co. Release date: June 2009 Updates and/or additional voicebanks: V3 update, extends, English voicebank, V4x update Language: Japanese, English Voice type: Slightly “scratchy” high-ranged female voice. Sounds about in her late teens to early twenties. Strengths: Gumi honestly has the best English of the Big 8. She is a professional-quality product, with a lot of different voicebanks (the most of any Vocaloid, in fact), each suited to different genres, to choose from. Weaknesses: Her design is… Hmm. She has a slight Japanese accent. Her English especially has a bit of a “percussive”...

Updated Music I Like Post

     I did one of these a while ago, except in two separate posts, so that was weird, and I put my Vocaloid music in an unusual format, and I have more music I like now, so in summary, I'm doing another one. Wow, that was one sentence. Anyway, let's get started.      I like most electronic music in general, although I don’t like songs with nothing going on in them, musically, like this one . It’s just boring and harsh. That’s probably a result of my extremely classical/folk musical ear.      I like the music labels Monstercat (especially Tristam): Disconnected , Saturday Morning Space Ride , Frame of Mind , Bone Dry , Till It's Over      ...and The Arcadium. Luminous , Until We Fall , Sugar High , The New Beginning , Levitation , Delphinium , Ball Bounce , Around You , Flute Gamer , Lights , Awe , Our Last Time , Never Let Me Go , Keystone      I got into JJD and Skylike from The Arcadium. I haven’t listened...
