I didn't mean to sound so negative on Vocaloid. For what it's worth, I'm a producer who used to make songs with Vocaloid (Gumi English) and switched to SynthV this year, so I'm speaking mainly from that perspective. Vocaloid can still make great songs. I'm a big fan of all of the NEXTLIGHT artists (picco, Twinfield, etc) in particular. Certainly not trying to dunk on the fandom or artists. However, I do think that it's a lot more limited in what it can do. The voices in Vocaloid sound quite synthetic, and there's only so far you can go if you're not going for a stereotypical "Vocaloid-sounding" vocal. IMO, Synth V can get pretty close to the Vocaloid sound with Eleanor Forte, but in addition can also produce some much more realistic-sounding vocals, especially with Solaria, Eleanor AI, or the newer Dreamtronics AI voicebanks. People are making music with Synth V! Check out AIKA who has made some amazing songs using Synth V.
