Oh hello there! Just a new video after a half a year of not uploading content passing by...

I hope you didn't forget about me. But if you eventually did, I'm McKatherine, I make music with synthesizers like Vocaloid and Utau since 2017, nice to meet you again!

I can guess some of you will wonder what Miku is doing here. Yep, I ask myself that question too. But this is not Miku! It's Miku Solid/Vivid! Those are my favourite voicebanks from her. I know some people find them quite annoying, but they're the most realistic sounding ones! I never really liked Miku's original voice because of how monotone and dull she sounds. I swear the first time I listened to her voice I was shocked with disappointment: how could a vocaloid with such a creative design that appears to have so much personality sound so boring and unnaturally high pitched! Miku lacks (a lot of things, but most importantly...) what makes realistic sounding voicebanks sound as they do, which is the variety of tone colors that changes as they sing different notes. That is the main aspect I focus on when criticizing a voicebank. It doesn't only give the voice their personality but it also makes vocaloids like VY1 sound realistic EVEN BEFORE ADDING THE TUNING. At least Miku V2 had some little differences in tone in the samples, but with Miku V4 it seems like they didn't really try. But these two appends are a blessing for my ears after listening to the original voicebank. Vivid is in my opinion what Miku should have sounded like originally (high pitched, but with some voice color that makes her sound so human!) and Solid is the same but with the power and maturity she needed! (they complement each other very well!) That makes me wonder why they removed Vivid and Light from the appends pack! ...Now, I don't know if I used them properly...

I also don't know if you read that entire paragraph. I'm sorry for the long critic, I had to put it somewhere xD
About the cover, there are two things that were especially a total pain to do: the mixing and the minigun.
I had so much trouble with the first one because FL studio had a lot of issues with the volume parameters and I spent 3 days trying to make it sound decent and this weird sounding thing came out...
And with the minigun I had to get out of my comfort zone: I never really drew complicated guns (or that kind of mechanical stuff) in my life! It was my first attempt and if you know anything about guns you'll totally laugh at my picture. At least I discovered that I also have to practice drawing things I'm not used to and that, actually, while hard, guns are also fun to construct because of how detailed they are!

Anyway, let's just go to the credits!
