me trying to figure out the best shortcuts to program into this stupid controller rn youtu.be/SK9YpwF7ImM

I bought the world's smallest controller to try and speed up the rare moments when I actually open clip studio

"why does it take so long for me to render?" also me: zoom in 400% to render

I need to buckle down and start working on finishing art for Alf but I'm also so busy

Happy Alf-versary! Aphelia is now 14 years young today. I don't have anything new to show today because I've be super busy IRL so instead of any new demos or art, I will just do a thread of all the exciting features to look forward to in the newest model!

Hyperfocused so hard today I tuned an entire cover I can't really use for Alf anniversary because it's not using their base voice color

Happy 4th of July, I'm spending it going to therapy and doing my first driving lesson because I'm an anxious mess who was too nervous to learn how to drive until now 😔

Don't have anything for Aphelia's 14th anniversary on the 7th

We've had two kids of employees hanging out here over summer break and they've been helping out so I got a bunch of treats for them and printed out employee of the month certificates for them 🥺

brave little guy schedules his first therapy appointment in like 5 years (mad because all I could find was online but it's covered by my insurance so can't be too mad)

Gotta explain to two men twice my age tomorrow why you're not supposed to use the business card for personal expenses.

First time having irl beef with the CEO of a major company kinda nervous

I thought I had a health class tonight but it's new Tuesday. 😔

Today I have to learn how to terminate people, do wage garnishments and I have a zoom call with our payroll/hr provider fuck

oh so I also needed to ditch shallow diffusion

oh so I just needed a new vocoder 😔

Very productive day of trying to do vocoder training, looking at a blank canvas and being indecisive about demo songs ☺️

i'm about to go hang in my hammock I just got and draw... maybe fall asleep 😂

may I offer a trade

may I offer a trade

I rendered a comparison between the released and new Aphelia models and y'all ain't ready for how hard I cooked

woe a half assed test because I'm too excited to keep things to myself the people who said alf sounds like a disney princess have done irreparable damage

what kind of resources do people want to see included in a voicebank these days?

me: no fear *sees a video of someone using AI + someone else's English UTAU to make a shitty English Teto bank and remembers I have a non-obscure English bank* me: many fears

everyone's asleep, time to post a test of Aphelia's WIP model

Shout out to my mom who told me what bcc emails are when I was a kid. She knew 20 years down the line that I'd need to secretly loop my bosses into some bullshit.

Listening to my test model after everything's gotten to 30,000 steps and it actually doesn't sound like 100% dookie

I leave one prison for another

fuck now I gotta figure out how to show off 14 languages and 10 voice colors

the good news is that even though I fucked up the merging, I think the tone and quality sound good even though I barely trained it

rise up gang, the model makes noise

Things are training on colab because I don't have the strength to figure out why it's not training with my GPU right now

I hope my computer can handle even a little of local training but I know collab got my back if it won't

we preprocessing babyyyyyy

They found an ibby kibby outside in the equipment 🥺😺

Tomorrow after I'll figure out configurations and get things cooking but this bitch is ready to cook

Goal after work is to do the last 3 songs for Aphelia and get everything all slur cut so I can start getting ready to training the bastard

I keep having work dreams and I wake up in the middle of the night disoriented wondering where my paperwork is. I'm starting to feel it today, I'm so tired.

💀

Finished all of Aphelia's labels, just need to finish the 18 minutes of multi-speaker data and I'm done 😤

Everything on my todo list today has turned out to be stuff I can't do myself so I guess I'll die

Me explaining to my boss the kinds of things I need from him as the company bookkeeper youtu.be/IW8Yb2pV37Q

I have given up on trying to fix the labels for the Russian dataset I have. Soggy minner for one less language but I don't have the willpower

I need to find more ways to decorate my desk at work that's fun but also not cringe because I share it with my boss and his wife is very picky about how things look around here.

Not my boss telling me how much he appreciates me and that I'm such a smart kid who works hard. Why is my computer getting all blurry suddenly

redid the cape and idk if you can tell the bottom is supposed to be mountains and cactus 🥲

30 minutes of Aphelia data to label, 30 minutes - 1 hour of multilang to label depending on if I do both languages I have

When you clean your desk on Friday and come back to it cover with piles of side quests (paperwork) that your bosses left you on top of catching up from the weekend + processing payroll
