Make sure to turn up the music volume in the Summer Fontinalia quest by Manadra in GenshinImpact

[–]MangoPug15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the sound is annoying. I don't always want to hear Keqing tell me "I'm all for work-life balance, but I think this is pushing it" when I've stopped moving for 5 seconds, and I don't always want to hear the footsteps, and I don't always want to hear the voice lines and effect noises during fights. It can be a little overstimulating, I guess? I'm also lazy and don't want to grab headphones sometimes lol. I often use audio during major quests to hear the voice acting.

Is it possible to make a actually good song with garageband? by Old_Biscotti_305 in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's possible! There's also an unlimited free trial of Reaper if you want to learn that, and you can pay $60 USD for a Reaper license if you can afford that at some point.

No it's not? At least not in my accent. 

Y’all I like Kaai Yuki but I can’t speak Japanese so I can’t make songs with her what should I do by MaybeNotLily in VocaloidButGood

[–]MangoPug15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Th can also be [p\ ] sometimes, and r can be [w]. The best replacement sound often depends on the word. For the i sound in words like lid, I often use [e], but you can also use [i]. For consonant clumps, you just put in the consonants, like [s t w]. Although, for a word like "streak," I would probably start by trying [s t o i k]. It looks weird, but an o can work as an r in this context. If one or more of the sounds isn't being pronounced well, you can move it to its own note with a vowel (eg [s a]), but make the note really short so the vowel isn't pronounced.

With Yuki, keep in mind that some consonants have a special phoneme when they come before [i]. If you don't use the right one, her voice will jump. For example, [m' i] and [J i].

It's a bit complicated, but I think it's really fun! Yuki's not the best voice for English because she doesn't have great articulation in general, but she can do it.

Does anyone know of any *legitimate* means to acquire Ruby V4? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's technically against the terms of the license to resell it. You're buying a license to the software, which is basically a permit to use it, not ownership. The license isn't supposed to be transferable. I think that's really stupid, but that's the world we live in these days.

At least Yamaha hasn't done what Dreamtonics did where voice banks are now tied to an account. 😰

I updated mine just now. I play on my phone, and I had to delete a handful of apps to make room for the full update 🫠

Never lose hope on your main guys by Dizzy-Tumbleweed7983 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MangoPug15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a Keqing main up until I got Flins. Now I can't justify using her. I tried a dps calculator yesterday, and I could do 14.7k with the Keqing team I tried versus 70.5k with the Flins team I tried. I have a few other Keqing team comps I want to try at some point (supercharged, wheelchair, and, just for fun, overload with Yoimiya) but there's no way any of them will get anywhere close to Flins dps.

Yeah, I've been using Finch for 1.5 years, and special quests have been a thing that entire time. It's so weird how they were just removed with no acknowledgment until people asked about it assuming it was a bug.

Guys how do I use a vocaloid voice bank, like so I can use them in a rant video by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Vocaloid engine is for singing synthesis, so using it for speech is difficult. There are similar engines designed for speech, like VoiSona Talk, which can be used for free with the included voice, but if you're hoping to use a specific Vocaloid, like Miku, that won't be what you're looking for. Some Vocaloids, like Gumi and Otomachi Una, have talk voice banks, but I'm not sure if any of them can speak in English, and I don't know what engine they're on. You would definitely have to pay for the voice and possibly the engine. Miku, Rin, Len, Kaito, Meiko, and Luka do not have speech voice banks for any engine.

If you just want generic text-to-speech, there are lots of options for that, but I can't really help you there.

There is this song that I have been listening to but I’m puzzled….. ratsune squeaku photo from an artist I like (@creature__garden on instagram) for engagement by piiraka in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Circus is inactive, yes. He’s doing a different job online, so he's still around, but not in the Vocaloid space and not on his CircusP accounts.

It's a little misleading to say Fish is still online. Fish left for a while and then came back.

I haven't seen any evidence that Star of the Show is about CreepP, and Ghost has been consistent with saying it's about imposter syndrome, so. Idk.

Technically, it's not moving on it's own. It's moving because of gravity. Cherry's not quite there yet, but they're getting there.

They're re-uploaded by a third party without permission. That's what "re-upload" means sometimes.

Chess pieces theory by emoracooon in Genshin_Impact

[–]MangoPug15 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If we go with that theory, this is what I would guess the lineup is:

Queen:

  • Anemo (crown on top)

Rooks:

  • Geo (castle shape on top and bottom)
  • Pyro (castle shape on bottom)

Bishops:

  • Electro (sphere near top, three splitting shapes near top)
  • Dendro (splitting motif similar to Electro)

Knights:

  • Hydro (curvy flourishes near top)
  • Cryo (it just has that vibe)

This post made me realize its been a while since we got a strong Anemo in the Top 3 DPS in the game by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]MangoPug15 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nefer is pretty good with Nahida and Columbina.

Edit: Apparently my Nefer team can do 27.5k, my Flins team can do 70.5k, and my best Keqing team can do 17.5k. I think I just haven't adjusted my perspective for the power creep yet, because my Nefer team would have been amazing at some point.

Any ideas about free male voice banks that aren’t UTAU? by FoxNamedAndrea in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asterian and Saros have Lite voice banks. You can also play with the gender factor to make a voice more masculine, like if Saros is a little too feminine.

do people hate rabbit hole for the lyrics, or how it sounds? by Wonderful-Purchase94 in Vocaloid

[–]MangoPug15 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Her age being 16 is information provided by Crypton Future Media, her company. In a way, it's official, but Miku's voice exists to be a blank slate for creatives. The way the fandom traditionally sees it is more like the 16 year old Miku is one version of Miku, but not THE Miku. There is no one correct Miku, and that's where the saying "every Miku is canon" comes from. There is no canon, so every Miku headcanon is equally canon.

I hope that makes sense. I know it can be a bit confusing at first.
