The Post Where You're Subjected Once Again To My Tastes In Music

     (It’s time for another one, bois. Prepare yourselves. Also, this was the post that I bit more off of than I could chew. Can you tell? Anyway, let's just jump right in, since you already know what this is.)
     Vocalsynth cover artists:
     MioDioDaVinci- Turned me into a Kyo fan in the span of an hour when I listened to their covers. Also does a good job with the other ZOLA boys and VY2.
     Lanuman- First, their tuning is really realistic. Second, I really like how they use a lot of Vocaloid “underdogs” really well. Third, their manly Piko gives me life.

     Vocalsynth Producers:
     kyaami/cillia- The absolute goddess of Vocaloid and other synth tuning in general. Show her covers to your friends and they'll think it's a human singing. She used to be in the cover artists section, but recently she released a Vocaloid Original song!
     Porter Robinson- He uses Avanna for only three original songs, plus some remixes/live edits, but I just really like his music in general and would recommend him to anyone.
     AegisSan- Nice soft/alternative rock. I’m not really a fan of their works with Rin and Len English, as I just don’t like their accents, but their use of Gumi and Fukase is top-notch.
     TechniKen- More synth-pop-y? I don't exactly know, but he has a nice style and singing voice, which he uses in addition to Vocaloids.
     Yulee- Nice chill beats. Uses Emvoice Lucy as well, which I like.
     Police Piccadilly- Their style varies a lot, mostly between pop rock and electronic, but every song is good. So far they’ve used only Miku, Renri, and Gumi, but they’ve used each to their full potential.
     ODDEEO- His style is half 80s synthpop with Gumi and half Porter Robinson-esque emotional songs with robots. Also has an interesting philosophy on Vocaloid in general. Oh, and his music videos are simply top-notch.
     23.exe- They're pretty much the only Vocaloid P whose songs using Miku I like, besides Police Piccadilly. They make very cute bops, and Miku just sounds cute, rather than squeaky and ear-shattering.
     Lauren Estes- An absolute cinnamon roll (but don’t tell her I said that). She has a very soft aesthetic for songs, and uses Avanna a lot. Skldjasshl. Very good. Also has a good Discord server with cool peeps who make art together and share it.
     Guiano- Sad Imagine Dragons vibes. Uses two Vocaloids a lot: flower, the growly and scratchy androgynous child, and IA, the majestic one. His music videos, especially recently, have been very nice as well.
Anh Duy- I love his tuning of Teto.
Makku- I love his UTAU, Makku, especially his English voicebank. A bit too much Circus-P for my taste, but I still very much respect him.
     Some individual synths I would look up are Oliver, YOHIOloid, Yamine Renri, Eleanor Forte, Fukase, Amy, Avanna, Maika, Prima, Tonio, SONiKA, Utatane Piko, V flower, Kyo, and IA. I have some random covers/originals of them from different random Vocaloid cover artists/producers.
     Okay, now for non-Vocaloid music.
     I have listened to all of the Monstercat: Instinct uploads. As well as being good exposure to more Producers, I have used the handy hashtags that are on each video to figure out which subgenres I like:
-Electronic
-Chillout
-Indie Dance (very much)
-House
-Some Future Bass
-Some Glitch Hop
I do not like:
-Dubstep
-Trap
-Most Drum n’ Bass (DnB)
-Anything that’s too repetitive
-Anything with too much bass
     Some individual Producers I like are:
     JJD- Nice and bouncy. I appreciate the texture of his songs, but understand that others might not.
     TheFatRat- Good. Just… good. Bouncy.
     Jack Shore- Has a lot of different styles, but excels in every one. Bops.
     Tristam- He makes the only DnB that I like. I’m currently trying to make a string orchestra arrangement of his song My Friend, which is just… Feels.
     Dave Wave- Knows a lot about music theory, especially of that surrounding early 20th century dance music. He makes videos explaining these genres and more concepts that are understandable but still contain the important elements of each. I love his Electro-Swing songs/remixes.
DESERT STAR/Jay Cosmic- I love their Indie Dance.
Some Producers I might look into more from Monstercat are Half An Orange, Cloudnone, and Conro.

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...
