...Although something that's bothering me is.. I can't help but notice that all of the American English Vocaloid4s sound so... nasally... I wonder if it's because of the new editor, script, or just the voice providers... Just my opinion tho. I heard some people say that the editor is to blame because it doesn't handle powerful vocals well(kinda like how powerful Japanese vocaloids sound more robotic I guess).

Yes, Vocaloid is known for this.

It has trouble with bass sounds in particular (Big Al being a notable example of the engine not coping well). Its also often the wrong pitch entirely. This is why many Vocaloids need further editing once the samples are recording just to correct things once they are in the engine.

The worst offender was the original V1 engine who made Vocals much hoarser then they were.
