Hi there,
As some of you may know me Im hixai/bodytemp/Kat and Ive made a lot of voice banks in the past most of them discontinued but they are still floating around. I was looking for some voices for a utau melody I have just finished tuning and I stumbled across one that sounded just like one of my own voicebanks. So I decided to listen to a couple of samples and see if it was just a tuning thing that I should get rid of. To my surprise, its the exact same reclist that I used so it was easy to listen to and compare but it got even more troubling when I put them both into melodyne to check. Exact same file exact same recording. Now Im not going to name the bank or the person in question I have already messaged the person about this. The thing is, you shouldn't claim others voices as your own. I mean, have pride in the voice you have been provided with. Everyone has a unique voice that belongs to them and they are willing to share it with the world. Why shouldn't you use your own voice instead?
For now, all my banks will be discontinued including my newest one. All links are now inactive and retired if you have my banks please do not redistribute you may use them for covers only.
Thanks.
