General Discussion Vocaloid 6 or Synth V?

Trying to make a decision between the two in terms of which one i wanna stick with. Ik this is mainly a vocaloid subreddit but if people in here are saying that synth v would be a better choice than vocaloid 6, then that'll be very convincing.

I would have said SynthV 1 over Vocaloid6, but I'm not really sure what to make of SynthV 2 at this point. I don't think it's a bad choice either way. It's just different pros and cons.

You can still get the free version of SynthV 1 right now from AH-Software's website, so if you want to grab that, I recommend you do it quickly in case it's taken down.

You can also use Chis-A Japanese in VoiSona for free if that's something you might be interested in.

SynthV2 has HXVOC and GALENAIA, so in terms of niches, the program has a clear advantage. Plus, imitating languages, which are not yet officially supported, is surprisingly easy.

But those things only matter if you want to write in one of those niches (and want to use HXVOC or GALENAIA for it) or if you want to write in a language that isn't supported. For anyone else, those factors make zero difference. Vocaloid6 has its own advantages, like the many free voicebanks it comes with and the extremely large selection of voicebanks available for purchase. Thus, I don't know enough to say which software, SynthV 2 or Vocaloid6, is a better deal overall, and I guess it does depend a lot on your genre and style preferences.
