Well, like most people I met VOCALOID first: I was searching for random videos on youtube when I found "96Neko's E? Aa, sou..." Ib parody. I loved the song and I started searching more about Ib and E? Aa, sou. I was 10 or 11. I searched and found the original Hatsune Miku's "E? Aa, sou.". I discovered then that there were more of these "japanese singers": there were ones called Kagamine Rin, Meiko, Kaito, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, Akita Neru and Kasane Teto... I thought all of them were real people using avatars to sing, just like 96neko does. But I found MMD and downloaded it. I started searching more and more and I learned that those were virtual vocalists of some synth called VOCALOID. I also discovered Teto was UTAU, and Neru and Haku, derivatives. Still, I focused more on VOCALOID. Last 3 years I bought VOCALOID3, GUMI and KAITO.
I had downloaded UTAU once, before buying VOCALOID. But it didnt work. Oh well, I started messing around with VOCALOID and discovered I didnt have the ability to it (XD). I give it an hiatus.
OK...Then I decided trying UTAU again because I could have a big quantity of VBs for free. I downloaded UTAU, and followed the tutorials. So there it is, up to today. I used UTAU very badly at start, then I got better and better. I then tried VOCALOID again, and I managed to get a very nice tuning (specially with GUMI, KAITO still gives me some headache). I also managed to make UTAU a bit more human-ish by myself.
Nowadays, I use UTAU the most and I don't care too much about my VOCALOID3. I use it sometimes, but...I never complete a cover nor an original. I always prefer my UTAUloids over them. And VCV quality came a lot better AND when multipitch VBs came, it was almost same quality as VOCALOID.
So that is it. Oh, now I am almost 16. I have almost 100 UTAU VBs in my PC.
