Trust me, I've researched pretty much everything I need to research, from basic Japanese/English phonetics to every single vocaloid tutorial I can find. (Except UTAU 😞) I'm thinking about getting UTAU, but idk yet. I'm going to be covering stuff, & I am a native English speaker. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices: Daina or VY1v4. I should proberably research how to edit vocals on Audacity a bit more, that's the only free software I can think of. Is switching from UTAU to vocaloid easy? They aren't the same, but I'm assuming after learning the ropes of UTAU vocaloid would be easier to get the hang of. I've used UTAU so much that transitioning from UTAU to VOCALOID was almost natural. Granted, the only time I've used the VOCALOID software is when I downloaded Meiko V3 POWER's trial which came with the V3 Lite editor. UTAU is a lot more straightforward, basically you'd have to actually look for the equivalents of the pitchbend and envelope settings in VOCALOID instead of them actually being in front of you right when you open the software.

Like I said, the only time I've used the VOCALOID software is with Meiko V3 POWER's trial. So, if any of you actual VOCALOID users could correct me on any mistakes I made anywhere, that'd be wonderful.
