Quite honestly, I'm sure Gachapoid users may have a different take if they've also tried out Luka's VBs. Or vice versa... you never know...

Either way, trying to steer us back to the topic at hand...

I've finally decided to play around with her HARD demo bank this evening, after all the procrastination and loss of time since stating I'd probably do it. WHOO BOY... Luka V4x is one tough cookie to work with in my opinion. She has a lot of rough phoneme transitions, and getting her to sound decent on my end is going to take a lot more time than what I have at the moment. Kudos to those who love her enough to have the patience to properly tune her new banks... I know it's very well possible to make her sound nice, but it takes a lot more work than what I'm even used to with both IA and CYBER DIVA combined, just to make one verse sound naturally flowing as opposed to choppy and awkward... and on rare occasions, a little bit too breathy on certain notes. (And here I was hoping it wasn't as rough as people were making it sound like. I just hope I can crank out at least one cover or sample of some sort before the trial runs out... I mean, geeze, I still like Luka, but this bank is surely going to work the heck outta me in figuring out what tuning methods work best with it.) (@A@) Lol Yeah, I guess I could feel that. ;-D

As for the trial, I concur. It's a big mess. >_> She's just so choppy, and it really sucks. Everything I've tried in terms of tuning has gone down the tube, so I commend you for trying hard on it. x'D Though hearing other producers tune her, it's still not too fabulous. MJQ and AKiGlancy stand out, but neither one of them particularly impress me. IDK. Have you heard any that impress you?
