Apologies for the hiatus, and some updates

11.20.2013 by MystSaphyr Leave a Comment

I haven’t been as active as I usually am due to Capstone (senior project) work that’s been holding me back.

However, I will have my capstone show this Friday, and I’ll immediately jump back into working on Aiko’s voicebanks and uploading some videos for covers I’ve posted to soundcloud.

As for my English voicebank, since many people have asked about that, it’s around 70% done (at least for the single pitch I have recorded so far) but I can’t release it until Cz gives me the go-ahead. She’s finishing up her lists and tutorials, so once those are up, I’ll release Aiko’s monopitch English!

Blog updates: I went ahead and added a DISQUS comments section since I figured it’d be convenient for people who don’t use blogger, and since I plan to migrate to WordPress pretty soon.

One last thing, I’m a bit late in posting this here, but Mooncrafter and I did our yearly birthday video on the 12th:

That’s all for now! Wish me luck with Capstone ;v;/

Self-Harm Achromatic & Outer Science Rearrange

So it’s crunch time at school, meaning it’s very likely I won’t be posting many (if any) videos until winter break. I wanted to post another song I covered a while back with BalladSoft, so here’s “Self-Harm Achromatic” by Nekobolo:

Also, a while back (I apparently forgot to post about it here) I covered an arrangement of Outer Science with Homurane Ray’s VCV! I hope to be able to someday cover the original song, if Jin ever posts a karaoke.

First Overseas UTAU Compilation Album: United Together Around UTAU!

I am SO EXCITED to finally be able to share this with everyone!

Since May, I’ve been working with a team of UTAU producers from all over the world to produce an album for the Minna no UTAU doujin event in Japan. Aiko was used in the first song on the album, an original song by Kenji-B/nostraightanswer, and I arranged AsterSelene’s “Crystal Heart” for the covers CD (you can hear it at 6:30 on the video)

And so, I am proud to present our crossfade:

Aiko Original! (…and cookies)

Aiko got used on Nico!! Nipek, a user who’s made several UTAU originals (including ones for Buttnose and Murasaki Mai) used Aiko in an original rock-style song, “Towards the Dream”.

ありがとう、nipekさん！

Also, I uploaded a couple of covers of Cookie Clicker related songs recently. Yue helped render Kujiloid vocals for me on “I Keep On Baking Cookies” and I did an English cover of bethco’s Defoko original, “Cookie Clicker”. I have no shame.
