*pounces teh TK*

Hey there! :squee:

ToriKat 04-04-2011 09:41 AM

Hey! So glad to see you! <3 It's been awhile since I've been online at the same time as you. <3

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 09:42 AM

I know, right? damn non-coinciding schedules!
So, how've you been? :hug: :heart:

ToriKat 04-04-2011 10:02 AM

Just busy with work...and I'm getting read to move. @_@


Eee, loved this. xD


Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 10:09 AM

Yeah, I know all about those busy work schedules. :yes:
So, when are you supposed to move again?

Oh, yeah! Guess what I'm about to get

ToriKat 04-04-2011 10:12 AM

My last working day is Thursday! Woo hoo!

I'm moving in the end of the month.

Oo? What are you getting?

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 10:15 AM

Does that mean that those dreaded 24hr work shifts are finally going to be a thing of the past for you?

I'm going to get a Vocaloid.
*nodnod* I just need to make a final decision on which one I'm going to get. >.>

ToriKat 04-04-2011 10:37 AM

I hope so. The Army has stupid twenty four hour shifts...like charge of quarters and staff duty. At least those are about once a month though?

I had a hard time understanding what Vocaloid is. *stares*

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 10:47 AM

Mmm, that sucks. There should be some sort of rule against 24hr shifts. :stare:

Let's see... Where did you go to get the explanation? To put it simply, samples of certain peoples' voices are recorded to create a synthetic singing program. In other words, you type whatever lyrics you want to, and tell the program what notes you want the lyrics played at, and the program "sings" the song. It's literally a "singer in a box"

ToriKat 04-04-2011 10:53 AM

REALLY?

Homg, that sounds like fun! I would actually like to try that out! :D

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 10:59 AM

Some people have gotten really good at manipulating the programs to the point that it's almost impossible to tell if a song is sung by an actual person or a Vocaloid. *stares at said people in awe*

What OS are you running on your comp? They apparently have demos of some of the singers, but some of them will only work on Win2000 or WinXP.

Like I said earlier, I just need to make a final decision on which one I'm going to get. I've got it narrowed down to three different Vocaloids right now.

i was gonna do a thread like giving away 07 vday stuff... but... i felt that was mean... :(

ToriKat 04-04-2011 11:05 AM

@Ultima: I have Vista. Rats! o_o Which ones are you thinking about?


@wish: xD Ahaha! They wouldn't have been pleased if they rushed in expecting that!

wish 04-04-2011 11:05 AM

i know.. xD

i didn't do it because i felt bad. :(

ToriKat 04-04-2011 11:07 AM

Yeah, I decided not to be too cruel either...Wanted to be funny, but I'm kind of sick so I can't think of anything witty.

*pokes at the cute art in your signature*

wish 04-04-2011 11:08 AM

it's by foggyday :)

i love foggyday's art. <333

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 11:13 AM

I have Win7, so I'm in the same boat you are. Still, it seems that they're re-doing some of the original Vocaloids to run on the newer systems.

Well, I'm thinking about getting either Hatsune Miku, the Kagamine twins (Rin & Len), or Sonika. The things that are making me second-guess getting Miku or the twins is that they're only sold on the Japanese site, which makes ordering difficult (since I still don't know how to read Japanese). Also, it's been confirmed that Hatsune Miku is going to get re-done in English, so I wanna kinda hold off on getting her yet. Since the twins are the second most popular Vocaloid, they'll most likely be re-done in English as well, so I kinda wanna wait for them as well. So I'll most likely go with Sonika (since she's on the UK site, she's already in English, and she is supposed to be able to sing in pretty much any language anyway).

ToriKat 04-04-2011 11:19 AM

@wish: *wonders how to get foggyday's art* ^o^


@Ultima: How long do you think the wait will be? *really would like to try*
I've seen so many cosplay and such for Vocaloid. They really like it in Korea.

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 11:33 AM

You mean until Hatsune Miku and the twins are ported over to English? No dates are set yet, and Miku is the only one so far that's been confirmed for getting ported at this time, but there's still no date slated for release yet. That's why I think I'm going to go with Sonika. She's got a good voice as long as you don't try to take her out of her "normal" vocal range. Here's a good video (one of the best I've heard for Sonika yet) to show about where her range is

Vocaloid is pretty popular all over the world. You should see how many vids there are on youtube.

IT'S FRIDAYFRIDAYFRIDAY!!!!!!!!!
KICKIN' IN THE FRONT SEAT, SITTIN' IN THE BACK SEAT, WHICH SEAT *CAAAAN* IIIIIIEEEE TAAAAKEEEEEEEEEEE-EH!!!!!



Volcaloid. *o*
I've seen some really pretty ones, when I do go looking about for some.
(Oh no, now I'm imagining a Volcaloid singing Friday.... DX )

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 11:36 AM

*lol* If the right person used a Vocaloid to sing that song, it'd turn out great, i'm sure. :yes:

Chunsa-chan 04-04-2011 11:40 AM


I'd actually be really curious to see how it's turn out.

Dimitri Bloodbane 04-04-2011 11:41 AM

Oh, wow! It looks like the UK site is going to release a new Vocaloid sometime this year! *wonders what the new one will be like*

ToriKat 04-04-2011 12:46 PM

@Chunsa: xD I bet some people waiting in the hallway thought we were crazy as we sang that song to annoy one of our coworkers. xD She doesn't like it because it gets stuck in her head and she starts singing it. Hilaaarious!
