how does youman do it. how do you write good lyrics and make cool 3D graphics and tune well and create banger music all at the same time
it confuses me that people still say vocaloid is dying when you have new people like kanaria blowing up with every release, and old producers like DECO*27 continuing to pull in huge numbers. mafumafu is insanely popular among young people and still writes vocaloid songs and covers vocaloid music. ayase expanded into YOASOBI and yoru ni kakeru has 200 million views or something. there are more smaller producers creating good music than ever. the synthesis technology gets crazier and crazier every year. 2020 had the most active week of vocaloid song uploads in history. the scene has never been more fun! it's awesome!
@apt How can it die? We don't even have a FOSS alternative yet!
@zachdecook We do! Check out UTSU on GitHub. It’s a FOSS synth engine that aims to be 100% compatible with UTAU voicebanks and plugins.
@apt Cool! It'd be nice if it actually worked, but at least 'macres' seems usable, and it does come with usable voice samples.
@zachdecook It doesn't work? I know it's far from being 100% mature, but I was able to make something with it. For the record, when I say "vocaloid" I do mean the voice synthesis music scene overall. Nearly all of the major voicebank companies moved away from Vocaloid a long time ago.
@zachdecook Just click and drag, lol :)
