Blog Housekeeping

     I won’t have a regular post this week, because I’ll be reorganizing my labels. These are the new labels. They should also give you an idea of where my blog is going in the future. Instead of worrying overmuch about what I’m writing about, I’ll just write what I want to write.
-Vocaloid (for general Vocaloid stuff)
-Vocaloid Descriptions (the Vocaloid Descriptions now have only that label, not Vocaloid as well)
-Writing (little things I’ve written that don’t go in any other category. A previously published example would be It: An Idea I Came Up With)
-Recommendations (I already have this, I’m keeping it because I’ll be doing a lot more of these… prepare yourselves)
-Meta-Post (You don’t seriously think I would delete this, right?)
-Music (Already exists, it’s for a post that’s music-related but not Vocaloid-related)
-Art (Replacing Dragons)
-Old (For old posts that need to be revised)
-Revised (For old posts that I’ve somehow gotten around to revising)
-Revision (For new posts that are old posts but redone)
     I did this on Wednesday in English class after I finished my project, by the way. It took longer than I thought it would, but at least now it's neat. All posts should have at least one label, but no more than three. I feel good now. See you next week.

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...
