DX   And it sucks because I hadn't heard the song before you requested it and now I really like it and I definitely would like to cover it, but I CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE FILES!! :'(

And on Calalini,... I looked it up and I was hesitant because Kaai Yuki's voice creeps me out a bit, but that song wasn't too bad. Anyway, I downloaded the files for that and I can get started on that cover right away. :D Well I had started on the Sonika cover of Calalini and I was working on it in FL Studio 12 when my computer shut down on me (probably a thermal shutdown). And I hadn't saved in a while and I was almost done with putting the effects on Sonika's voice that would remain the same throughout the whole song and then I was going to do the ones that change throughout the song, and then do like a final check with volume and stuff and then I was going to be done.

So I was mad that I lost like at least two hours of work because I hadn't saved in a while, but then when I turned my computer back on and tried to open that project again, I couldn't because I haven't unlocked FL Studio 12 from demo mode yet and the demo mode doesn't let you open saved projects. I had used FL 12 to try to get used to it and figure out its differences from FL Studio 11, which I have the full version of. But because I torrented FL Studio 11 and unlocked it with a RegKey, I can't seem to unlock FL Studio 12 from demo mode. So I tried to open the saved file with FL 11 and it said "An error occurred while reading the FLP file" and it couldn't open it.

So basically now I have to start over from the very beginning. So I'm wondering if I should try modifying some of the parameters and pronunciation in the VSQ to make Sonika clearer and easier to mix. But the VSQ is one that I downloaded so it's kind of like the way it is now is the way it's supposed to be, right? But it was written for Kaai Yuki, and she sings in Japanese, and Sonika sings in English. So really, I'm not sure if I should modify some of Sonika's voice parameters and pronunciation (making it kinda less authentic, but not /really/) to make her easier to understand and work with, or if I should just leave things in the VSQ the way they are and try to make her clearer with effects and stuff (keeping it kinda more authentic in terms of what is actually coming out of V2). I'll probably just try modifying parameters and pronunciation and see where that gets me, and if I don't like it I can just go back to the way things were. That would just mean more work for me though. -_-

And I still don't have the .zip files for WILDFIRE!!
