Hey y'all - so, recently I've had some major circumstances in my life change. It's nothing super troubling, I'm not going to be living on the streets or anything - but I could do with an extra buck or two. So - I'm (finally) re-opening oto.ini commissions.

It's past 2:00AM right now. I've finished my work for today.

Do I or do I not record more LongWei right now?

Sheepy boy really just saved his himbo ass

But like, imagine how many more formats OU could support just by having a basic diphone phonemizer without any hard-coded linguistic traits.

I wish there was like, an online version of Visual Studio I could use, where I could run and actually build stuff.

deadbyte @deadbyte.bsky.social · 2d

I know practically 0 C#, but, I wonder if I could pull something like that off. Biggest problem is that Visual Studio takes up WAYYYY too much of my hard drive space, and VS Code has like, none of the dependencies I need.

I wish UTAU had like… and Alingual Phonemizer. Like, even something like the ARPAsing Phonemizer without the English G2P ( or maybe you could specify which G2P it uses in a custom dictionary ) would be immensely useful for me.

Same. That’s how I first learned English phonemes, and then when I saw Delta English for the first time I was like :0

But given the choice based on personal preference, SAMPA all the way.

I would spread my SAMPA all over the place if I had the power to do so. Everyone would be covered in SAMPA. No one would be safe

People probably think that ARPAsing is my favorite format for English given how much I use and talk about it. But really I prefer the X-SAMPA formats ( Delta, peYton, Salem, etc. ). I mostly use ARPAbet bc it’s a lot easier for newcomers to read, and it’s functionally not that far from Delta-style.

Qing Su has a new “Steady” vocal mode too, though I suspect it’s her “Chest” vocal mode renamed.

Other than that, An Xiao, Feng Yi, and Qing Su all had their “Power” vocal modes renamed to “Powerful”.And Ryo had the order of his modes re-arranged for some reason. Everything else is the same as SV1

deadbyte @deadbyte.bsky.social · 6d

Mai is the most obvious and significant. With 4 new vocal modes, and one that I think is her old “Soft” vocal mode renamed.

Then there’s Kevin, who has a new “Mellow” vocal mode.

Last is Hayden, who has “Subdued”, “Falsetto”, and I think “Heavy” was renamed to “Powerful”.

I was bored, so I decided to looks into which DT vocals that received upgrades from SV1->SV2 had additional Vocal Modes.

Interestingly, it’s only three, Mai, Kevin, and Hayden.

Question, not relevant to anything I’m currently doing, I’m just curious. is there a reclist or reclists that is generally agreed upon as being the “standard” for Italian? I’m only really seeing “Italian CVVC”, and I’m just curious if there are other lists out there.

Apparently this needs to be said - while I don't mind legitimate artists showing me their coms, I do mind scam artists contacting me - and if you're a scam artist commenting or DM'ing me ( and trust me, I will know ), I will report you. If you've already contacted me, I probably already have
