>>22325I have similar issue with a spare laptop that belonged to my sister. Wont charge or start even if battery removed and plugged in so might be a mosfet burnout or something.
Part of why I am considering getting an analogue synth and maybe drum machine and sequencer. Which also makes me wonder if you can do synth vocals that way with decent results or not. I would think anything sample based would not work all that well as we know from things like the Pocket Miku and the like. I think it should be possible to reproduce Rei same way her voice was made to begin with if the exact frequencies and waves and all that info is known. Although similar issue it would be very difficult to live convey actual lyrics just a sort of droned singing unless the tempo is very slow lol

Something I forgot to mention. If you want to use Linux but WINE/Bottles doesnt work and if you font want to touch Windows at all with a dual boot, virtual machine or WinBoat could in cases there is a macOS version try to see if Darling runs any better or worse. Darling is basically same idea as WINE but for Mac programs instead of Windows programs.

What musical scale do Japanese producers use most often? I am finding contradictory English info when it comes to modern music some saying Han-Kumoi, some saying Hira-Joshi and others say they use same Major and Minor scale as most Western music and then other sources go into other scales. My ears are not musically trained enough at the moment to pick it out.

>>23855I made mistake of doing this as a digital file instead of a small notebook but I like to write down words that sound good together along with phrases and quotes I like but not put them to any song writing right away. Just have it for future reference to help things flow out. I would say you should try out different poetry writing methods just to see what feels good to you to get an idea of structure and how to break down the structure into something unique if you want to deviate.

Found more on some software info a webcourse site. Feel free to see if any of you find more though I find this least useful since it is a matter of personal preference and whatever one knows how to use best.
Tokyo Manaka uses Logic Pro
https://coloso.jp/products/musicproducer-tokyomanaka-jpKikuo uses Presonus Studio One 5 Professional
https://coloso.jp/products/musicproducer-kikuo-jp>>24170Haniwa used Cubase then switched to Ableton Live in late 2018 finding it more enjoyable and easy to use and more like playing an instrument.
Other gear includes
MIDI keyboard: KOMPLETE KONTROL
MIDI pad control/groovebox: Novation LaunchPad Pro MK3
Foot controller: Roland FC300 (started using it because of doing VR shows)
Audio interface: RME Babyface Pro FS
Plugins:
FabFilter (for EQ, compress, delay)
Oeksound Soothe2 (same purposes?)
SERUM (synthesizer)
NEXUS (samples from presets)
IK Media AmpliTube (guitar effect used on VOICEROID vocals to soften them)
Valhalla VintageVerb (for VOICEPEAK vocals)
Scaler2 (music theory chord progression aid)

>>24210The Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 is not a groovebox, rather it is a sequencer. I was thinking of a different product they have. My bad. Actually I am still not sure I know what is a groovebox.

https://piapro.jp/namigrooveWatched one of his live performances and I think he has a Cannonball Big Bell Stone Series A5 Professional Alto Saxophone. I was able to spot the logo. Anything else you are looking for other than DAW and sax?

Do any of you guys kinda feel left out seeing all these western producers always interacting and collaborating with eachother or is it just me? It kinda gives me that same feeling I'd get in elementary school when there was a group of cool kids who did cool shit and you looked up to them but at the same time it felt like you were too "uncool" to hang out with them, ya know?
I don't want to be popular btw, it's just a shower thought.
