Apparently a lot of people like the new Wuthering Heights movie, and that's fine. If you like it, you like it. But I hope you realize that what you liked is not really Wuthering Heights. Oh, it has the same name and all, but that's about it.

We live in a world now where people gaslight you despite ample, clear video evidence

Okay, I like to think I'm not a stupid person, but maybe I'm getting dumber as I get older. I got this email offer for a cool vst, and I don't really need it, but at that price, I figured I might as well. But the purchasing and installation process seemed so convoluted..maybe it's just me.

If you're going to make Wuthering Heights, you need to film the entire story, not just half.

It's freaky like that X-Files episode

Most of these rich guys seem to be only "donating" to their own foundations or their friends' foundations--MacKenzie Scott, however, is actually giving away a huge chunk of money to real organizations with no strings attached.

Got the 3rd demo done for #FAWM2026. Changing things up this time, using #SynthesizerV #GUMI for the voicebank.

Second song for #FAWM2026 done! I need to rework it already. I'll do that after February. I was messing with a riff, but it's kind of--tuneless, so no real melody comes out of it and so the chorus doesn't work at all. Using #SynthesizerV Archie for the voicebank again.

#FAWM2026 has started! Here's the first one done. I'm going to really try to get 14 done this month as it's been awhile since I've managed to complete FAWM. Using #SynthesizerV #Archie for this one.

They don't want to give up their cushy jobs. The most important thing for them is to get reelected, so they never want to upset the apple cart.

I was blessed by the fried chicken gods today. Went to Giant Food to get their 8 piece mixed fried chicken from the deli for $6.99. Got home and saw my pack had nine pieces instead, one of which was white meat. And, instead of 4 thighs and 4 drumsticks, it was 6 thighs and 2 drumsticks. TY, FCGs!

YouTube video by Anomie Train 【Synthesizer V GUMI 2】 Oh, Effin' Hell! (an original song redone)

Originally a Vocaloid project for my Patreon in 2019 using Avanna and Megpoid English. I wanted to redo it in Synthesizer V (now using Gumi 2 for melody, Kasane Teto for the background vocals). The song deals with frustration, not literally to try to get run over by a car.

YouTube video by Anomie Train Vocaloid Hatsune Miku 6 AI (Early Access) vs Synthesizer V Gumi 2 - Ori no Naka ga Oniaida

More fun with the Hatsune Miku 6 AI Early Access. I'm also enjoying using the Vocaloid 6 Editor Lite. I wrote a full song to put Miku 6 through the paces and compared it with Synthesizer V Gumi 2. I had ChatGPT convert the lyrics to Japanese for me.

Okay, so I've been messing around with the Vocaloid 6 Editor lite and the Hatsune Miku V6 AI Early Access, and I have to admit--it is kind of fun tweaking those Vocaloid parameters on each note to bring out the performance I want. Is it life like? Well, not really, but it brings back memories...

It's not a "deal" if you're forcing one side to do what you want.

YouTube video by Anomie Train Vocaloid Hatsune Miku V4 ENG Comparison with V6 AI (plus Synth V Teto and Gumi!)

I now have Hatsune Miku V6 AI Early Access, so I did a quick comparison with Miku V4 English (using the Piapro VST). The Miku V6 Early Access is only Japanese, so I had to use ChatGPT to do a translation. For kicks, I also had SynthV Teto and Gumi sing the part.

A big thank you to #Sonicwire for sorting out my problems so that I could finally download Hatsune Miku 6:AI early access and the Vocaloid 6 Editor lite. I own Hatsune Miku 4 English so I qualified to try the Early Access. The lite editor is like the old Tiny Editor--perfect just to test things.

"She was trying to run me over with her car" is basically the new "he was reaching for his waistband." Same old lies cops use (along with "I was in fear for my life") to justify murder.

Maybe I was misreading the info about the Miku 6 early access, but it sure sounded like if you have an eligible product (I do, Miku 4x English), you can download the Vocaloid 6 Lite editor for free to try it out. So now I'm waiting to hear back from Sonicwire.

So I'm properly registered with Crypton and Sonicwire and accounts are linked. Miku 4x English and Miku 6 Early access are registered in my Sonicwire account. But, the button to download Vocaloid Editor 6 lite is grayed out. It says I don't own an eligible product. So I wrote back again for help...

I own Hatsune Miku 4x (English). According to the Sonicwire page, I am eligible to try the Miku 6 AI early access. But, I bought it from Big Fish Audio. I wrote to Sonicwire, and they kindly gave me a registration number so I can register it. Done! I was now able to download Miku 6 Early Access.

I haven't heard music this fucking good since the 1980s

Honestly, I don't think you need a guide to "tune" in SynthV. You just need to touch up/fix vocal glitches that appear here and there. Trying to "tune" the whole song like you would in Vocaloid 3/4--makes no sense to me. Just use Vocaloid. It's like using Kontakt to create chiptune music.

Everything is bat shit crazy now. I don't even know how to react.

It's a real mystery. Nobody can figure it out!

Thank you Washington Wizards for winning your seventh game of the season and letting me get another $2.50 Big Mac! Keep it going!

YouTube video by Anomie Train 【Synthesizer V GUMI】 I Just Can't Get the Stink Off of Me (original song)

I wrote this originally back in 2021 using Vocaloid Hatsune Miku and Amy, but I wanted to redo it using #SynthesizerV, so here it is with #Gumi 2 and on backing vocals, Archie and Kasane #Teto 2.

Praise the Lord, the Wizards won last night so I got my $2.50 Big Mac today, lol.

People can talk all they want about Five Guys or In-N-Out or whatever, but to me, nothing will ever beat a Big Mac.
