once I am actually going to go trought electronic isntruemnts I wil lsee if there is any warrant ot adding any of these as actualy instruemnts instead (ie "Moog")

haha ther is an instrument credit as UTAU from before :D

fairly few, only on one page, so i cna see a few "search hint" ones i cna add again.

i'll asl oadd those aliases for mthe wikidata entry

this shoudl hlep peopel finding this easier atleast :)

oh! wait is "Autotune" too?

:hmm: i wonder if https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11338907 is a better fit for us actually

there is athe two components : software and actual synthesizer

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sin... has vocaloids and utau

speech synthesis is more an abstrack wikidata item : think

ie "speech-generating device" *uses* it

but hell why not both :D

(reosarevok, your imput on this tomorrow woudl be valued :D)

Ok, wall of text is too wally, what exactly should I answer :D

note that many of the uses of voice synthesizers in music are actually the talking ones, not singing ones - e.g. there are a lot of songs with samples of the old macintosh speaking voice

oh no.

well first was the thing aobut why we don't have the abiity for labels to have some more "artist-like" relationships

(so we have some stuff that is entered as both a label and an artist becasue artist cant have such and so role)

erh label can't have*

the other was which wikidata item of the mentioned ones would be best to use for our "vspeech synth" "instrument"

(also, in what order is vocoder and voice-synth related)

reosarevok: ˆ

eh

reosarevok: ^

We could have those, if requested properly

whoo

I mean, hopefully not "label played violin"

But maybe "label produced" or whatnot

uh. lol

kepstin knowsa bit more

this case was.... mastering

label doing mastering seems logicla to me.. but

If a solo artist switched from releasing music under their first name to under their family name should those be considered distinct artists?

Oh... he didn't switch he releases music under both

rooke: i guess only if the msuic is like a differnt thing

if those are different "musicla *things*

They... sound like the same style to me

hmm

and you say that he rereleased the odl albums in the new name or?

label doing production-engineering makes more sense than performance, is my point

or are the musical releases always spearated

rooke: link? :)

reosarevok: well obviously

I think that was the exact point here?

who said performance? :P

https://ichika.bandcamp.com/ and https://nit0.bandcamp.com/

reosarevok ^

CatQuest: just making sure :)

reosarevok: remember you're talking to this cat who is annoyed at that stuff just like you ;)

rooke: so the person's name is Ichika Nito?

yeah

are both releasing at the same time?

i mena both bandcmap things

There has been overlap

hmm

I might try that

maybe you can contact thme and ask what is their intent

:D

Yeah, I was going to suggest just asking

They seem pretty active in social media, so they might answer

Anything released by ichika has a copy right by these guys: http://www.ta-wa-ra.com/

fwiw https://ichika.bandcamp.com/ seems to have a kidna theme with the cover arts so may be a separate project

yeah then theres a third bandcamp with a single album for some reason too lol

oh no.

i'd say ask them :)

weee

for sure I'll do that

👍 keep us posted :D

but I really must go make food i am soo hungry :D

My gut feels like the move is to change the ichika entry on musicbrainz to "inchika nito" then just all make them the same... especially cause whenever he's featured its as ichika buuuut I do not know

I thought you left for food ages ago bud

dinner akes a bit longer ot make than that ;)

now i go <-

So the deciding factor is if he considers these different musical projects?

Pretty much

Like, would he consider them all part of the same discography?

Why can't everything be as clear cut as snoop dogg vs snoop lion ;_;

Or are some "Nito singles" and some "Ichika singles"

so i guess the mastering question comes down to - is https://www.cloudbounce.com/ a mastering engineer, or is it mastering software and the person who uploads the track to it is the mastering engineer? :)

If they are disjoint then the move is to create two distinct artists but link them to a person entry?

One of the times were MBS-4753 comes in handy is when cover uploads get cancelled/downvoted even though there was nothing wrong with them.

MBS-4753: Cancelled/removed cover art does not get deleted from IA servers https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-4753

chaban: indeed. and I also have a jesus' script that links to these things in the edit itself. very handy (and a reason I don't want 4753 "fixed")

This editor would surely fancy some votes: https://musicbrainz.org/user/redflaregraf

They messed up soundtrack recording-work relationships, e.g. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/71273621

Batch approving work disambiguation stuff. You don't need to vote on those :)

:/ I'm not sure iagree with this

"John Williams' soundtrack for Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is set to "Soundtrack", but the Imperial March should not be, since it's not itself a soundtrack, just part of one."

was it yindesu?

what says reosarevok out stylesloth?

It's absolutely correct

Calling that a soundtrack is like calling a song from an opera an opera

I mean, sure, the word has some relation to this specific piece, but that's not what it is

but what the hell is it then?

well iguess "march" :P

but still

I've seen people doing this so often: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/71250707 I'm going crazy.

huuuh? won't the recordings just get the new durations?

vinxi wasa good newbie though. very well explained the issue 👍
