A collection of some vocal synth covers and short beats made in Beepbox on Windows 93. I can't for the life of me get audio embedding to work even if I host the files locally???? So they're just google drive links for now until I can iron that out.
I'm an extreme amateur at vocal synths and I've only attempted a handful of covers and "finished" about 3, if you count my first attempt, where I didn't even do any mixing and just went with the raw mixdown.
ABOUT: My very first "finished" vocal synth project. As stated before, I didn't know
shit about mixing at the time, so it's literally just a raw mixdown.
There's also barely any tuning, because I didn't know shit about tuning at the time, either. It sucks. But I'm sharing it anyway, because I feel like it.
Teto Lite only comes in Japanese, so I had to go in and edit all the phonemes manually.

ABOUT: My second attempt at a finished vocal synth cover, this time with actual mixing and tuning!
But my first attempt at actually mixing and tuning, so, yeah, it also kinda sucks, but it's definitely better
than my last one! This is when I got a taste for tuning, and even though it's bad, I realized that I really liked the
process of going in and tweaking exactly how I wanted the voice to sound. The mixing is also complete ass, you can barely
hear the harmonies. But, for an amateur, I'm still kind of proud of it!

ABOUT: My third vocal synth project, and first ever attempt at using either UTAU engine.
Or, well, I think I tried to use the original UTAU program way back when I was like, 14, because I remember
wanting to make my own UTAU voicebank, but I don't think I ever got it to work. But OpenUTAU is much more intuitive
for a beginner like me, and I think it's cool! I did learn how to use it specifically because I wanted to
use Neru's new unofficial voicebank. It's really great, I've heard some absolute bangers using her!
Fun fact: OpenUTAU does have an English to Japanese phonemizer, but I didn't discover it until after I went
through and, once again, painstakingly edited all the phonemes by hand. From what I've seen, it doesn't seem to work
super well with Neru NEO specifically? So I may have dodged a headache with that one. Even though it was still a
headache itself. But I'm satisfied with how clear I got her English to sound! It's not great, but I think it's decent enough.
And at least I learned to read a little Hiragana in the process.
I also learned a lot about OpenUTAU with this project, too, and did a lot of experimenting. I made some... interesting
choices with some of the tuning, but it was fun, and I'm still pretty proud of it. And for my first attempt at using OpenUTAU,
I think it's my best project yet! I also learned quite a bit more about mixing during this project, and the mixing sounds far better
than my first two attempts.
Eventually, I want to draw some art and upload this one to YouTube. But I'm not sure when that'll happen. Sometime in the future,
I'm sure.

If they can even be called instrumentals. As stated above, these are just a couple little ditties I made for fun
in Windows 93's version of Beepbox. ...Hang on, is Beepbox still in Windows 93? I played around in it quite a bit yesterday,
but I don't remember actually seeing Beepbox.
Anyway, these aren't that good, I just put them together for fun. I'm far from a musician, and I'm starting to think
I may even be tone deaf, honestly. Either way, enjoy, if you want to.
ABOUT: Not much to say about this one. I was just fucking around and ended up with a beat that sounded like it'd play during an encounter with a character who thinks they're cool, maybe a rival, in some kind of RPG. So, "coolgirl."
ABOUT: Again, not much to say. It sounded like something that might play during a high-tension scene or when you're in some kind of trouble, so that's why I named it "mischief."
