Hello, Nynthixia here
Since almost the half of August has passed, I have some news to say. Some were expected and others less.
1) #kzn
#kzn arrived on the 7th in the evening, this corresponded for Japan to their 2 AM. She is now activated on the computer and well installed. Her deadlines being June 30 and February 26, you'll have to wait a bit before a public demo with her. However she will be featured in the album that is currently in production this month and that is set to release at the end of the year.
2) A surprise guest...
On the 10th in the morning I decided to get Sora (both VBs) on the VOCALOID Store. For now I only used her Natural VB, not the Cool one yet. Her deadlines are on July 26 and September 25... Which means she will have a public demo for upcoming September. For Sora's song, don't be surprised, but her song was done after the song that will be for Bibi (release on October 4) and after the song that will be for Ritsu (release on October 12). So if you see the codes going back and forth it's normal. Same for the material changes...
3) VEGAS 20
VEGAS 20 was also bought on the 10th in the morning. It now supports VST3 but for reasons of CPU consumption I decided to keep FL Studio as intermediary for mixing down the capellas. Especially since VEGAS has still issues with some plugins (hello Phasis from NI). Concerning the songs:
- all songs that are deadlined for August still use VEGAS Pro 19.0. They were done generally on June.
- Sora's song deadlined for September 25 is using VEGAS Pro 20.0; all the other songs deadlined for September still use VEGAS Pro 19.0., they were done between June and July.
- For October deadlines, only Zunko's deadline is using VEGAS Pro 20.0, the others are still using VEGAS Pro 19.0 (Bibi's song was finished on the 5th, Ritsu's on the 7th).
- all deadlines from November 2022 will be using VEGAS Pro 20.0 (until release of v21 of course)
4) Albums confirmation
"Sinking to the Darkness": 25 tracks. Features GUMI, Kiritan, Itako, SEKAI, Momo, Tei, Sayu, Kaori, Tianyi, Xingchen, Totoko, Saki and KAFU. Release on August 20, 2022.
"Ancestral Destiny": 25 tracks. Features Feng Yi, VY1, Wistaria, Lily, Akari, Karin, Tsuina, Meiji, CUL, Xingchen, MAYU and SEKAI. Release on October 22, 2022.
CD36: Called "Disconnect from Reality". The tracklist has between 19 and 21 tracks (will depend if I shift RIME's tracks to the CD36.5). Will feature at least #kzn, Sora, Ritsu, Zunko, Bibi, Oniko, Itako, Sayu, Weina, Chis-A and Rikka. Rikka's song will be the last Truth edit, which is a quite special one... Release set for now to December 17, 2022.
5) #nynthilore
To understand some of the details for the latest songs of the main lore series, I'll have to redo a series of nynthilore posts on Twitter with the C series. More info about the major project characters are doing in the series, but also new observations. Dates of release for these posts will be random, so don't wait for them, just see whenever one goes up to learn a bit more about the background and what is being used in these songs. Especially remember to understand the song Rikka and Karin share for the series you need some info from the B series posts to better understand. And since most of these songs are in private song slots, you get few info about the background quickly, so these posts are essential to better understand what is going on.
Nutshell:
- arrival of #kzn, no public demos before February, private songs for October album
- arrival of Sora Haruno, public demo on September 25
- VEGAS Pro 20.0 is released - Bibi and Ritsu's songs were done before this release and before Sora's acquisition
- next album on August 20
- release of new main lore series posts to better understand the background with sparse dates
See you on the 16th for "Bleak Crystal" with CUL
