LJ actually said it wasn't; just a few adjustments to the tuning was what made it sounds as though t'was rerecorded

[@QuackZack]

Mostly notice from the new vocals that the robotic "buzz" from their voices are majorly improved. You can actually hear their voices instead of an aggressive autotune and it sounds like they're actually singing instead of buzzing out syllables that 'sound like words' which would be hard to decipher without lyrics. It's not perfect but it's a huge improvement. (PS: It's still pretty hard to understand McWave)

[@enigmatic3194]

​@FantasmaNaranja as someone who knew about this in its first version, I agree. Except for Melodii during Grease Poppin'. The old one goes with McWave's vocals well, sometimes. Best example is "flippin' and frying to keep myself from dying". But the old one can make melodii hard to understand half the time. The new one is the opposite of the problem where she's kinda more expressive (in a song that's just kinda lowkey) despite being able to understand her a lot better

[@patrickbernardidefreitas402]

For those who are curious the VOCALOID voice banks (which version of software they were originally released) used for each character are: Cinnabay: Amy (Vocaloid 5) Biggie Cheesecake: Cyber Songman (Vocaloid 4) Jamtime: Cyber Diva (Vocaloid 4) Rensa(Not in the video because she's from a new song): Gumi English (Vocaloid 3)¹ Melodii: Apparently Chris (Vocaloid 5), but I didn't hear a resemblance They all most likely were all used in Vocaloid 5's engine, since all of them are compatible with it. PS: They're compatible with V6 too, but it wasn't released on the first demo and for now we can't be sure if they've switched to it, since none of them sound like Vocaloid AI (from the list, Gumi is the only one who has it) and there are no new V6 voice banks used too Now to non-vocaloid characters: Nami: Human voice actress - Meggie Elise Synthz McWave: Speech Synthesis from FL Studio, which if I'm not mistaken it's older than Vocaloid itself so the quality can't really be improved by much like all the others that you can tune it to sound more natural Mc Bean Machine(green puyo): Human voice actor - Jordo Prince ¹ Gumi English has only been released for Vocaloid 3, Vocaloid 6(AI voice bank). She'll be released for Synth V that has multi language capabilities as an AI voice bank tomorrow(December 20th)

[@annellecoraline]

Yea, now you can understand melodii much better

[@laceflower_]

My takes: Cream cheese icing's new version is much better across the board Melodii's old voice suited nami.wav better, with the shorter sustain and slight bitcrushing giving her a more lofi vibe. Jamtine's voice could go either way, it was just already very fitting to begin with. I think a like the new version just a lil better Melodii has a bit more energy and stronger delivery in the new versions of stir & mix and grease poppin i know that contradicts what i just said about nami.wav, but w/e its about what sounds good and that's both subjective and not strictly logical

[@mrmissingno10]

I like jamtine’s new voice cause she actually holds the notes now instead of it just stopping in the old version

[@VynalDerp]

Icing's new song is much better for sure. Some lines are still a little hard to hear properly, but it's much better than the OG. I definitely prefer the old Nami.wav by far, for both melodii and nami. The songing isn't bad, and it's definitely more clear, but imo that doesn't match the vaporwave vibe nearly as well. Melodii kinda sounded like she was singing with a mouthfull of water... which fits, honestly. Jamtime is a mixed bag. Some lines were better in the OG, some in the new version. Could go either way, although I think Melodii's singing is a lot better. I'm also not sold on grease poppin'. I mean, Melodii's singing is much clearer, but now the contrast between their voices is great enough that it just feels a little off for me. It's not bad, just different, I suppose. The new songs are great though. Since they're built from the ground up with new voices, they absolutely nail them perfectly.

[@Gatorboy5678]

Idk I didn’t really like Jamtine’s voice in the new one… Which is unfortunate because that was my favorite song previously.

[@Koopacake]

I think people's preference for the old versions is jusg nostalgia/being used to it. The new version are objectively much better: understandable lyrics, better volume levels, much more skilled tuning. I think Stir and Mix and Nami are somewhat understandable they weren't that bad before, but even then i still think the new versions are improvements and show a better understanding on how to use vocal synths.

[@maidenrelish5906]

is objectively good, but it is useless if you don't take into consideration the original version created by the author, which was created on purpose as in the Mc Wave song, which despite being more consistent, the voice of the beginning matched perfectly with Mc Wave's voice due to being the same software.

[@Sandmann629]

you should google what objective means

[@Koopacake]

@dontstealmycontentplease an objective improvement, then, technically speaking.

[@turnham4327]

Idk, as someone who only recently got into vocaloids (within the last year or two) I still prefer the old version. There's an objective technical improvement in the new version, but I feel like the focus was on making the vocaloids sound as good as possible, not making the songs themselves sound as good as possible. Either way, the effort they had to put in to improve the sound quality had to have been pretty insane

[@Tesl8n]

If you've been a long time vocaloid fan, one of the things you notice about the genre is that what's considered aesthetically "good" has shifted over time to be more naturalistic and human. Older songs tend to be more robotic, buzzy, and unnaturally high-pitched, while modern vocaloid songs tend to downplay those elements. There's obvious exceptions, but I'd say that's the general trend I've felt in vocaloid music, including in the stuff I enjoy listening to. One big factor there is that the more humanistic tuning is in fact more skillful and difficult to achieve. We have more of that skill now, almost two decades out from when Miku was first released, than we did in the early 2010s. Another big factor is that the newer versions of all different varieties of voice banks make that kind of sound easier to achieve - the samples are better and the software is better at stitching them together now. But difficult execution does not fundamentally make a more aesthetically pleasing work. I know of noise albums that are super technically difficult, but which are way less fun to listen to than your basic 4-chord pop song. I think it's undeniable that the newer vocals in Scratchin' Melodii are more technically skilled - it takes skill to remove the buzzing, and the new ones are for sure more emotional. And if that's your aesthetic preference, then sure, but there are definitely people who prefer the robotic, inhuman qualities, for reasons that go beyond just nostalgia. Losing those qualities changes the *feel* of the songs, changes the aesthetic base, and I understand why people prefer that. Personally, listening to this, I think the additional clarity & emotions in the lyrics are a welcome addition, but the new vocals consistently do this thing where they hold on the notes for half a beat longer than the old vocals did, which makes the whole thing feel less... sharp. See Melodii's vocals in the comparisons at 3:58 and 4:16 - the "stoppin'" and "poppin'" are held longer and slower, to the point where they feel like Melodii's is slurring their words. "Coastin'" and "roastin'" do not have that quality, though, and they're equally as sharp making that line one of the most straightforward upgrades in the whole video. I also think there's just a little too much emphasis on improving the emotiveness of the vocals, and it could be toned down like 10% to a happy medium that doesn't distract from the fact that they're singing. There's a bunch of moments where it feels like Melodii's response is almost inquisitive, instead of declarative - in a call & response song, you want the call to be inquisitive and the response to be declarative. Question & answer sort of vibe. This is the worst in Stir & Mix - arguably, that's the most expressive of all 4 of the OG songs, and dialing it up to 11 here hurts the song as a whole. That said all of this discussion hides the real travesty - the new backing track for Cream Cheese Icing is *so much worse* .·´¯`(>▂

[@archiemourad]

A great take. Personally, I much prefer the clarity and expressive nature of the newer vocaloid systems, however I completely see what you mean about note length.

[@archiemourad]

It's rare to see a logical and objective take on this platform, rather than "New version so suck". Thank you.

[@masterhound5093]

TBH, I agree with the notes being held way too long... ruins the sharp, quick feel of Greese poppin. But I feel that it's not just the backing track that makes cream cheese icing bad.. I feel it just needs a rework. I do like being able to understand the lyrics (which is what the best part of the old version did well when DJ did that switchup) but at the same time I feel that they ruined that part in the new version for the sake of understanding lyrics... I liked that it went quickly and you had to actually listen in to hear what he was saying

[@Blikke1]

I really don't like the new Cream Cheese Icing. It sounds off. I prefer the old backing track too. And the new vocals for the "You might groovin', smooth and always movin'" section cannot beat the old one. I know the new voice is objectively better, but there's just something missing within the annunciation of the new voice.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new vocals. I like that the new vocals have more clarity than the older counter parts but, in some ways the old voice added more character to the songs by being a tad more robotic. It really depends on which song is being played and what section of the song it's on for what's better. I don't really know how I would blend the two versions though to get it to hit the way I'd want it to. I will say though that I kinda hate the way they completely changed cream cheese icing though.

I think the new vocals are great! I do kinda agree on Jamtime’s song sounding a little better in the older version (though Melodii themself sounds great in all the changed vocals). For me it’s mostly the “I want him to be mine,” section that got a downgrade with the new vocals. Cinnabay and Biggie however had a *major* improvement to their song.

I actually like both of them. The 2022 robotic voice sounds good, but the 2023 voice sounds like someone’s actually singing it. I like the 2023 version more(not by a lot, it’s extremely close), but the 2022 sounds pretty good.

[@owenhedderick296]

I really agree because she sound weird when she says “making cookies for my love I stir and mix” and now it sounds like “making cooies for mayh love ai ster and mix”

HOLYY THE TUNING ON THE VOCALOIDS IMPROVED SO MUCH

Old: More emotions New: Understandable Lyrics

I disagree completely when it comes to grease poppin, though I feel like that might be universally considered an improved one

[@TrustfulLoki85]

“Hey dj you’ve gotta admit I’ve Gangnam style and always hit”

[@Chips_cooked]

thank you so much for doing them in each scene because unlike other vid comparisons, they would just play them together so the only difference i can see is their animation and not their voices cause they’re mixed together i also felt dizzy looking back and forth to see the difference so i appreciate that you did them individually ^^❤

Holy moly these songs improved so much!

1:50 *wait this isn’t it what the fuck*

[@FEAR_ME_BISHES]

I love how the update makes the words easier to understand and the characters voices and colors more full of life (Ps I will argue to my grave that the jamitines song just hits different)

I really like Melodii’s new voice in grease poppin’. The old one didn’t even sound like them and I’m glad those vocals got replaced

[@VOtvr]

namis new vocals are so good1! (iykyk)

[@keisui89]

ive never heard of this game but it reminds of parappa , definitely gonna look into it more as i loved the parappa games

[@ShieldStop]

At first it sounded weird but after listening again i think it's an improvement. They still have the fun Voca sound, but they put way more emotion into it. It makes the weirdness into a style choice instead of a quirk of the tools.

[@lalanjaa]

The voices are much more understanding

[@uchicken_]

I totally prefer Melodiis new voice, it sounds more consistent and cute

[@StreetyAnimatezBruh]

At least melodie doesn't sound like a demon in the Ronald Mcdonald song

[@Leo-oo2cv]

i honestly think i like the old versions of stir & mix and grease poppin, but cream cheese icing is def a major improvement

[@evanplayzyt7934]

I want the old vocaloid of stir and mix back pal

[@toasterwaffl]

The older ones are more charming and stylized. The new ones do sound (more) like real people singing, but there's something that just flosses the crevasses in my brain with the old vocals.

[@R4TS1]

Honestly wish they didn’t make melody’s voice deeper than before. She actually sounds like a child in the before ver, but the newer version sounds more clear.

[@jambon2730]

I love how they did not only improved cheese icing but also the song itself

[@onedaywe.llallbeghosts]

gonna be honest, i like the old stir n mix better, but i do love these songs! pretty good job

[@TheWorldsLargestOven]

Are you a part of the OSC?‎

[@RaiBlu10]

THE FIRST SONG HAD *SUCH* A HUGE INFLECTION IMPROVEMENT-

[@RaiBlu10]

Also the last song had melodii as this strange and creepy text to speech instead of their actual voice.. which is really weird..! so I’m glad they changed that.. never gonna play this game.. but still.. lol

[@OmniVirusHS]

I will miss the old mixes and vocaloid because I've listened to them for so long, but Melodii sounds like themself in McGroove's song, and their lyrics are definitely alot clearer.

[@pensuls7595]

I like how they're more clear and easier to understand

[@EmperorofThings]

The new ones arent bad but something about the old versions + the vocals of the old versions hit different

[@Thatchanelyoudontremember]

I do have nostalgia for the old versions, but I just love how the new versions sound! a major upgrade👍

[@puahsandy1213]

Ok for real honest here, I like the old jamtine. Her voice in the old one just pops more then the new version, also melodies voice also has changed by more blurry to more clear, but I like the old melody voice still in the jamtine song. it just makes it more pop, Even if it's not clear. The voice just mix in better, and it just sounds better in my opinion.

[@CrazyNebulob5577]

I’m glad they changed melodii’s voice on the last one

[@CozyToast07]

I have mixed feelings with the newer versions, I preferred the art style and for some songs the old voice sounds alot better. But some of the songs needed different vocals.

[@hoo9177]

The old voice for jamtine seemed the most off for me, it felt more..boring? or it just lacked the sound of excitement and uniqueness of Melodii's and Jamtine's voice. For the old ones Melodii seemed to match her opponent/partner's tone. For example is; Synthz McWave's song, She matched his somewhat monotone/more robotic voice and it had a charm to it! Now it felt off? Idk how to describe it. But the OLD Sweetz Siblings really needed a change. The old one was very inaudible (to me)

[@temmiehoi688]

I can finally understand "How exactly long has this butter been out to sit?"

[@Star_BowXD]

In my opinion, Nami’s old style is kinda better than the new version

[@kyleerivera3087]

I love the new voices, but I do prefer Jamtine’s old one
