Hey guys!
Some updates, some really good ones!
Website- The website is probably our most updated thing, we get this, it's due to our servers having issues. Regardless, we are finally back to fixing it up again and it should be done by the next few weeks, and there's also new things coming up with this new website.
Recordings- We're adding onto the SELENA ddb and making more pitches, this will allow better flow of vocal tone and a more kire voice type.
GUI- We're currently compiling the new GUI, which is a rebuild of the open source QTAU GUI. We plan on having Piapro Studio like abilities with icons and parameters being at the bottom.
Some Neutral News- This could be either perceived as bad or good, depending on who you are. We have decided to get rid of the dictionary ability in exchange for phonetic editing. Why? We chose this because using the dictionary causes popping nosies when the - phoneme is used, and currently there is no possible way for a PIT parameter, we don't have the resources or funds to develop one, so we have to have note bending for right now which only works really with phonetics. The realist is encoded in Arpabet by the way! Fun little fact, we did not make it though, it's the prebuilt Festival script.
New Projects- Yes! It is official, due to SELENA being backlogged a ton, we're releasing new vocals that we believe will show off how much work we put into our products and give you an even better understanding of how high quality SELENA will be. These vocals are not on UTAU or VOCALOID, they are on separate unique softwares. All I can say right now is one is male while the other is female.
Store- With the new vocals we are also officially opening up our online store with the new website. Our store will be our central area for merch and vocal ddbs. We're going to sell our own as well as become distributors of other softwares. We currently have permission to create physical copies of the charity project UTAU, Sonata! A portion of the proceeds will go to charity and the Sonata Project. We hope this is the start of many collaborations with other studios and teams.
Legal Status- This is in regards to our status as a team. We are officially going to be applying for an LLC in my state, which will make us into a legal company, taxes and all! We're so happy that this is happening and hope that we will become a company you can rely on for high quality vocals!
