Talk:RUBY (VOCALOID4)/@comment-27092909-20151212154830/@comment-68.101.179.78-20151223221544

I'm not saying Sonika is a better voicebank than Ruby, obviously. The way I worded it was off; I don't mean to say she's a bad Vocaloid based on my opinion, but it doesn't surprise me that not much is going for her. I'm sure Ruby is more likely to appeal to just the fandom, but I myself don't mainly listen to Vocaloid. I have ears for actual singers and when I use Vocaloid I go for making them sound more natural. I take my time when tuning even the least problematic voicebanks because there's not one that doesn't need editing in it's own way

Not everyone using Vocaloid is within the fandom, and they're not just made for fans of the software, they're marketed to actual music producers. Syo was even dumb enough to question why people who aren't fans of Vocaloid use it. It's voicebanks like this that keep the actual producers away, leaving you with people who can't even tell what makes Ruby unappealing cause they only listen to Vocaloid. This is part of the reason it's unlikely Vocaloid will breakthrough as the actual software it is anytime soon.
