Talk:VOCALOID3/@comment-4850286-20130628160037

I'm researching computers because I'm going to get a new laptop, and Ubuntu seems like a very nice OS to use. However, I'd like to get Vocaloid 3 in the future, and I'd like to know if Vocaloid 3 is compatible with Ubuntu.

Google-searching didn't give me much, but it did show me that someone did achieve that here: http://binbashed.blogspot.com/2013/01/thewine-running-vocaloid-3-singing.html

However, there is one part that concerns me, and that's the sentence the writer used: "Interested in using Vocaloid 3 in Ubuntu? So where I can get Vocaloid 3 installation packages including their voicebanks? Simply to say, "Go Google It!"...hey...it's just like one of the Vocaloid songs!... "

I can't tell if it's encouraging you to go to the official Vocaloid site, or encouraging you to download Pocaloid. So though the writer was able to have Vocaloid in Ubuntu, if I bought Vocaloid legally and followed his instructions, I am unsure if I will obtain the same results.

In any case, I'd like a second opinion on this, about my original question "Does Vocaloid work on Ubuntu?".

Thanks.
