2nd #YouTube Copyright Claim this week. This time for one of my #VocaloidPanel Recordings. Muffled background audio leaking from the Karaoke Room next door for 2 minutes let them claim and insert ads on the entire 45-minute lecture.

LOL YouTube Copyright Claim.
Not that I monetized the video, but I guess someone else is adding ads to my #UTAUcover now.

Honestly I have been using Koss PortaPros since I was in Middle School.

I had a Sony Walkman, later a skip-less Portable CD player. In High School a Creative Zen MP3 player. I used this style of headphones with each.

Phone makers can pry the 3.5mm jack from my cold dead hands.

Yes, I still use wired #headphones, even outside if the house. In this case Koss PortaPros under my GFL patch hat.

Open back designs leak a bit of sound but still allow me to be aware I'd nut surroundings. They also sound great and don't get my ears hot.

Despite their losing streak I still rock TL gear everywhere I go. Esports jerseys, the good ones at least, are suprisingly comfortable. #selfie

The Blue Snowball is currently on sale for $40. Honestly not a bad price, I actually prefer it to its bigger brother the Yeti, and I have owned both for a time. It's not bad as far as budget USB mics go: https://amzn.to/39ttEFS #recording #gear

Got more recording gear for that #podcast I haven't recorded a new episode of in 6 years. I am not casting, but I am still buying hardware lol.

Got this lot of 2 Behringer MDX2600 Channel Strips, includes 2 channels of Compresser, Limiter, Gate, Expander, and Dee-esser all for $36.50 per unit. Went halvsies with a local friend who is a streamer.

We kept saying we would do a podcast together so if we ever do that collab I guess we can support 4 guests. #recording #gear

Proposed #pattern modifications for the #Defoko #UTAU themed "#cosplay" Happi Coat.

Slightly different from the traditional pattern, needed a flat back with no seams for a clean heat transfer, added embellishments on the sleeves, but overall still a pretty simple pattern for ease of cut and assembly.

Still not sure for final heat transfer art or lettering. Open to suggestions.

I think a cool design for the back to be heat applied would be like a #BigAl "biker emblem" style logo.
Maybe something like these but with a microphone in the center and like "Big Al" & "#Vocaloid" as text.

Proposed #pattern modifications for #BigAl #Vocaloid themed "#cosplay" Happi Coat.
I think it would work, wouldn't know for sure if I tried it.
I think the lettering and artwork can be done with heat transfers once the coat itself is done.
Thoughts?

Happi Coat "Cosplay" Patterns & Visualization Tests
Inspired by @MystSaphyr and this free pattern:

I found a plastic bin large enough to store all my recording gear and fit under my bed when not it use. It holds my 4x4 USB Interface, my cables, pop filter, mic foams, and even my isolation shield when fully collapsed.
I store my mics individually in their own individual cases in my mic drawer and my mic stand has its own go-bag. I guess technically my setup is "portable" now? I am calling this my portable podcast/recording studio!

ROFL one of the last places I expected both the #Vocaloid namedrop and the even more niche intentional #AlterEgo misrepresentation.

Payday today so all my bills are caught up & http://UTAU.wiki vanity URL is renewed. Settling for Instant Ramen tonight instead a fresh bowl but Curry is my favorite flavor so I don't mind. #UTAU #UTAUwiki #curry #ramen

#UtaForum Server Migration Completed.
The new server's IP: 147.135.4.3
Your DNS should update in the coming hours. If not you may need to Flush your DNS manually. Alternatively you can force an update by editing your hosts file. WikiHow Instructions on Flushing DNS: http://wikihow.com/Flush-DNS #UTAU

Normally you don't want Shared Hosting, but I did a lot of research and our new host is well regarded and their shared plans actually have a lot more resources provisioned than my entire low-end VPS. Assuming they are not grossly oversold performance may improve!

I don't expect the new plan to have any problems as we are low volume, but if it does, I can throw some money at it and get a mid-tier Reseller Plan from another host.

Thanks for your patience during this transition.

Sorry, this transition was mostly financially motivated. I have been paying for UtaForum's hosting out of pocket but costs went up and it became unsustainable. I moved UtaForum from a low-end VPS @ $32.50/mo to a high-end shared plan @ $7.50/mo. This move should save $300/yr.

Server Migration Notice: #UtaForum has been put in maintenance mode as I prepare to migrate the server. When the migration is complete I will unlock the forum and reply to this discussion thread. Service updates will be posted in this thread and on the @UtaForum Twitter.

Sorry, #UTAUwiki domain expired. Money is a bit tight after anime con and unexpected medical thing burned through my cash reserves. I get paid on Friday and can probably renew it then. If not, we got 1-month grace period to renew it before we risk loosing the domain.

Until then the wiki can still be accessed by our non-vanity subdomain URL: http://utau.wikidot.com
