^ A lot of the time, at least for the Voicebank libraries templates, whenever I try to ask about vocal traits and issues, it's met with the same problems or people don't really know how to describe it. I'm personally like this: I can't describe a voice very well, so I can't add much on that either. I basically sit here knowing which voice belongs to who and can tell them apart most of the time (mostly applies to Tianyi and Xin Hua when they're singing at the same time), but I cannot describe what makes them different and why. It could also be a problem with translations, I don't know. XP

What I have been noticing with SHN's last two releases (Xingchen and Longya) was that they haven't been adding too much detail on the product pages anymore. Maybe a little about their voicebank qualities but not enough to add on here or it's just a very small amount... They also didn't add the range or tempo on the product pages. That's something you need the physical copy for. I actually had to ask someone on VO for the range and tempo for Xingchen and post a screenshot for it as proof lol. And Longya is almost at my house, so I can easily do that for him as soon as possible.

I'm not exactly 100% sure about Longya's qualities based on what I can hear. I've seen people say he seems articulated but I can't recall if that was someone from the west or the east (and it makes a difference depending on whether or not this person at least knows the Mandarin language enough). All I can basically say is that he's a mature male vocal (and it's mostly because I can't put my thought into words about describing a vocal lol). I would have to ask for the rest or keep listening to him and hope I can translate my thoughts into what I want to say.

One thing I kinda notice for now (so don't add it quite yet I guess) is that he's not as powerful as he could be for things like rock genres. At least, not by default. People might have to mess with him to try to get the voice they want when they write the hard-sounding songs. I mean, considering how they were going to make a Power voicebank for him and set it aside might enforce that idea, but again, I'm not really that sure. It's kinda like how KAITO V3 could have been better with a Power vocal in there, but got 3 scoops of vanilla instead (Straight, Soft, Whisper) so he (possibly) wouldn't perform as well in these genres with these voicebanks compared to a more powerful vocal.
