Uses

this page is a collection of the following:

- technology (hardware & software) i use daily,

Dell Inspiron 14 7425

Peripherals

Logitech MX Anywhere 3

not a bad mouse! it's very easy to use and the battery lasts a scarily long amount of time.


Software

Visual Studio Code

my goto code editor, i've tried switching to others before and i'm too used to vs code.

MariaDB (MySQL)

for data storage. i use it on basically every website i make.

PHP

elephant language!! the only one i actually know.. unfortunately

Vivaldi

my current main browser. it's pretty good!

RaiDrive

ads are pretty annoying, but it's what i use to access the files from my websites & to edit them. can't complain really cuz it's free.

Windows 11 / Windows 10

interestingly scummy practices. windows 7 was still the best one. i can't move off of windows, so i guess i'll just die

Ubuntu Server

the OS running this website. it's okay, good enough to run my websites.

OxygenOS (Android)

this is THE BEST android skin ever

iOS / iPadOS

secondary os mostly, i use an ipad to play rhythm games and my secondary is an iphone but i'm an oxygenos user otherwise


Vocal Synthesis Software

OpenUtau

WAYY better than utau. we'll see how good synthu is when it comes out (utau 2 by the original dev of utau)

VOCALOID 4 / 5

they use basically the same voicebanks since you can backport v5s to v4, i never use the real editors that come with these engines, i instead use TuneLab.

TuneLab

maybe the best way to use any vocal synth ever besides openutau for utau. it's so clean and easy to use, you can adjust vocaloid parameters for the entire track easily without any hassle, you can draw pitch directly, its just so fucking good and i use it for every v4/v5 cover i make

VOCALOID 6

this is really a rare usage for me, i have never really liked the way vocaloid6 sounds. vocaloid4 has way better quality to me, and its just harder to control the vocals in general for v6. mostly use this for tests/short covers that only make it onto discord servers & dms.
v6 sucks.mp3 vocaloid6 test.mp3

Synthesizer V Sharp

Please refrain from downloading cracked software. - Kanru Hua
jokes about it aside, i think svsharp is great and probably better than using regular svstudio. don't come for me kanru.

VoiSona

it's really bad, but it's okay. i've made a few things with Chis-A and i really like the fact that it's basically free cevio. sound quality kind of sucks, but at least it has better pitch control & higher quality sound compared to v6.

CeVIO AI

slowly preferring it more than vocaloid but its hard to use sometimes and pretty much need to correct the phoneme timing 50% of the time. my favorite vbs are kafu, ci flower, and ia
