Not at all. Multipitch and clean recordings are an important aspect of recording a great voice. I am probably one of the people who advise that the hardest. Please don't make wild assumptions and insults about someone over one unrelated opinion please.
Just the attitude with "making a vocaloid" can be childish. Also if you say someone's voice is "vocaloid quality" there is a good chance they will take offense to it.
It's just the stigma against it. It's not my fault that that's how many see it and it became that way for a reason.
*shrug* Of course they are. I'm not making wild assumptions and insults -- if it came off that way, I apologize. I typically try to make sure my sarcasm is accurately labeled, so I'll go back to revise my previous post to make sure it's clear. I keep seeing in places where people have been complaining and sighing for the old, chunky CV days, and your post kind of made me think of that. Not that I actually assumed that about you, but it was what came to mind with the "not taking it seriously" remark.
I guess I don't really see how it's childish. I also don't know why anyone would take offense to someone saying their voice is "Vocaloid quality," seeing how good and clear Vocaloid can sound when the person using it actually gives a damn and tries, but to each his own.
Just because "that's how it is" doesn't make anything right. I also don't believe I implied that it was your fault. There have been a few different threads (some less polite than yours) that also suggested the same "it's just someone trying to get to Vocaloid status" implication from use of "UTAUloid."
I guess since UTAUloid is a parallel to Vocaloid and exists to point out their similarities, the usage of the word makes it seem as though you are unaware of the differences between the two.
Of course that's not necessarily true, but the redundancy and reference to vocaloid just reeks of 2008ism, y'know what I'm sayin'
I can see why some people still say it but it probably reminds people of their early utau days
I don't really see how using UTAUloid makes it seem like people are unaware of the differences between UTAU and Vocaloid, but since nobody seems to be able to supply an answer beyond "it's childish" and "ew noob" and "nobody who knows what they're talking about says that" when clearly many people can read the word and know exactly what the person who said it was referring to, but... eh, whatever. *shrug* I wouldn't be surprised at all if 90% of the cringe-factor of "UTAUloid" comes from people being reminded of their early efforts and shuddering like they just rediscovered the fanfiction they wrote when they were 12. The thing is, people keep talking about their early efforts like they're something to be ashamed of, when -- unless those efforts stemmed from something absolutely egregious like character or voice theft -- they're not. It's like looking at a video of your first steps as a baby and being all "OMG, that was so terrible, nonononono, why couldn't I have done that better? Damn my inability to master my center of gravity!!" And I say this as a recovering anxiety-suffering perfectionist.
I'll just say this. The whole "ew noob" and "nobody who knows what they're talking about says
that" thing rubs me the wrong way, because in my ears, it rings of an above-thou attitude that can be really, really unfortunate in any community. It's probably just me, and if that's not how some of the posts in this thread were intended to come off, wonderful. Sorry if I upset anyone, I certainly wasn't trying to insult or offend.
