ahhh are you working on an original song?? What genre is it?? I'm trying to work on an original song rn, but literally the only thing I have to make music is LMMS which you can't mix regular audio into hhh
I know someone who owns some mixing software, so maybe I could get ahold of it to help ya'll mix? I'm no professional tho

I'm currently working on a spanish VB, I have a few prototypes in JP but I still need to record it...wish me luck!!

I also use LMMS! Trying to make that song with it was really hard at first...
I'm still a beginner mixer, so I wouldn't know where to begin with mixing software ^^; thank you, though! I don't know what genre the song is, either. It might be some kind of pop. What about yours? Has LMMS been any easier for you?
Good luck with the VB and the original!

I've been using LMMS on and off for about a few years now--- most of what I've done is a bunch of unfinished instrumentals, so doing a full song with lyrics on top is gonna be difficult @_@ I'm basically at Level 0.5 when it comes to music theory, so I'm focusing on my VB instead;;;

I wish I could make something more on the pop rock side, but I have no guitars so regular pop/edm it is T_T I'm using a different spanish VB to make the demo vocals, but the plan is to then move the song to my own VB ^_^ thanks for the luck! I'll need it lol

Same here with the unfinished stuff! *looks at my pile of 70+ drafts*
You don't always need music theory to make a good song. I remember reading about a popular song made by someone who knew nothing about it... I'd link the article, but I wasn't able to find it. (I took a class for it last year, so if you ever have a question/need help with something, please feel free to ask me!)

Ah, yeah, that's an issue... a lot of my drafts are rock, but I also lack the guitar I need. I have an acoustic one, but I can't really play it .-.
It's awesome that you're using a Spanish VB! I'm excited to learn more about it in the future ^^

Thanks! Appreciate the offer for help ^_^ learning a lil music theory has made the music-making process wayy faster for me though...I swear just knowing basic scales has cut down all the time spent trying to figure out which note that sounded good in my head is the one I gotta put down on the keyboard roll lol

I'm almost done oto-ing my voicebank! (yayy), but I might need to record more sounds + do some testing cause rn she's rOUGH.
I edited a VCV reclist, though I am unsure whether to call my VB VCV? Like, some sounds are just CV (CCV???) (ex. bra, bre...) cause they're too long to justify having them be VCV (VCCV????) (ex. a bra, a bre)...but then what does that make it??? Would it be a CVVC bc miel= [mie] [el]?? I'm lowkey starting to feel like I messed up and should have done smth else, but I'm half following guides and half doing what I think makes sense as a native spanish speaker so OTL

Plus, some alias naming conventions seem impractical, like, why call the sound "al" "a l"??? It's that on top of aliases that I can tell were designed by not-spanish speakers like "pye" for the sound "pie" or "jwa" for "jua" --- it all feels like vestiges from japanese voicebank aliasing conventions

Hmm... without taking a look at your VB (and even if I did), I wouldn't know what to call it. "a bra" could still count as VCV, if only because calling it VCCV implies something else ^^; and ones like "bra" might be CV or CCV. There's more than one answer, though if you edited a VCV reclist, I'd say to just call it VCV. I don't think you messed up. Anything you put effort into wasn't a mistake. It's progress, or at least a learning experience!
I know there are Spanish VCCV reclists somewhere out there... I want to try recording one someday! Idk about Spanish VCV, though.

You're probably right about the aliases being based on Japanese or non-native aliases. It might've been to make things simpler for people who don't speak the language, but I agree that it's more confusing to see it written that way...

Maybe a song will come along that inspires you to cover it with the VB? That's usually what happens to me... I don't know if anyone else has that experience a lot. Either way, good luck!

Ohhhhh, I see. Never mind, that wouldn't work for all of them xD
Split it up? Pick one that you'd want to do the most and forget about the others for now. Watch some videos while you record (headphones on, otherwise it'll get in the recordings) or listen to music while otoing, as long as that doesn't make it worse for you? Wait until there's literally nothing else to do, like over a school break?
I don't really know how to help, sorry!

i do like to listen to music or videos while otoing so the process doesn't drive me completely insane, as i'm an incredibly impatient person.

That's a start, then!
...but yeah, I'm out of ideas. My motivation has also been nowhere to be found ^^;
8 VBs is definitely a long-term sort of thing, but I'm sure it'll be worth it! (if you need otoing help, maybe I could do a VB or two to lessen the work?)
