Apologies for the hiatus, and some updates

by 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;/

VCV Voicebank Test

by Leave a Comment

I was hoping that I’d have more time to prepare something nice for UTAU XYZ’s 4th anniversary today, but I got pushed for time. This test voicebank was recorded in just about an hour yesterday morning, so it’s a bit sloppy. It was more of an exercise for me to get used to Mac OREMO.

Aiko English + Release Dates

by Leave a Comment

If anyone’s been following my Soundcloud or Tumblr in the past couple of days, you’ll know that I’ve finally gotten off my lazy butt and recorded some English CV VC for Aiko using CZ’s newest Lite reclist (plus some extras)!

Seeing as Aiko’s 4th anniversary is coming up on July 10th, I’m hoping to have both her RockLoud English CV VC and Japanese VCV voicebanks done and released on that date. In the weeks before then, however, I’ll also be releasing her complete CV-VV BalladSoft and RockLoud banks.

More Small Updates~

It’s summer break, and that means it’s recording time! 😀

I’ll be focusing mainly on CV BalladSoft and CVVC RockLoud English first, seeing as AkiGlancy requires the former, and I have plans to use the latter for Aiko’s birthday (which is coming up in July). But by July 10th, I should have those banks plus CV and VCV RockLoud complete and released. PopMellow’s tone is a bit more difficult for me to record so it’ll be the last bank I focus on.

Also, I’m participating in the Minna no UTAU overseas album collaboration project which will take up a lot of my time in the following 2 months. I also have a couple of large art projects related to UTAU and Vocaloid in the following months, as well as the Project UTAU XYZ website to develop, AND a summer job… so this summer I might be slow on posting videos while I focus on all this behind-the-scenes work. I have 3 cover videos I plan to post in the next week or so, but after that you can keep up with the voicebank progress and any small non-video demos on here, Aiko’s Facebook page, and my UTAU/Vocaloid Tumblr (polkaloid.tumblr.com)

Finally, I’d like to give a special thanks and shout-out to MewKwota. She decided that today, or “Mother’s Day” in the US, should also be known as “UTAU Mama Birds Day” or a special occasion to thank people who helped you get into UTAU and learn the software and such. I’m really flattered that she views Aiko as Tsux’s “Mama Bird” and I’d like to thank both Yesi-chan and SingingRobotStalker (as well as Camila Melodia and Zuii Takoe) for being my own UTAU Mama Birds ;u;/
