Utau Recording: Full voice bank and otoing, or demo? Which do you prefer?

Poll: Utau Recording: Full voice bank and otoing, or demo? (11 member(s) have cast votes)

Well? which do you prefer?

  1. DEMOS!~ It lets the Utau community hear my Utauloid's voicebank pre-release. (0 votes [0.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 0.00%

  2. I'm somewheres in the middle. I like the idea of doing the demo so people know what my utauloid sounds like, but what happens if my voice cracks during the time from doing that? I think a full bank would prevent this, but the demos... (1 votes [9.09%])

    Percentage of vote: 9.09%

  3. Full voicebank. I might sound like len for the frist half the bank and big al the second half if I don't get all done. it's just safer that way. (4 votes [36.36%])

    Percentage of vote: 36.36%

  4. Neither. I have my own ways of doing things. (2 votes [18.18%])

    Percentage of vote: 18.18%

  5. Neither. I only use vocaloid. Sorry :C (4 votes [36.36%])

When you are creating an Utauloid, do you prefer slowly building up the bank by recording and otoing notes you need for a demo song, and add the notes you need for the bank as you make the bank sing more, or do you prefer to make the full bank and oto it before you even release it?

Even if you record a full bank. You can make a demo and still have a few kinks to work out in the bank before released. That's my way.
One day I shall have an amazing signature. This is not the day.

Well I've never tried to make my own voice bank because it would sound retarded as hell. (Male voices done by males just do not sound nice in UTAU. No matter how many I search for.) But my logically thought pattern would be first build the entire bank, clean it up, then make some demos, listen to the feed back, make some edits, and then release the bank.

My process usually goes:

-Record basic bank
-Try it out
-realize it's terrible
-fix everything
-make a cover
-realize it's still bad
-eventually have something you're somewhat happy with
-continue releasing songs slowly as you work out more kinks
-eventually get somewhat happy with it and release it
-realize it's still crap and continue working on it

And then somewhere down the line record sounds you need for certain songs and build up the rest of the bank.

I wouldn't want to hear a demo for a half-finished voicebank. That setup really only makes sense to build up anticipation. Unless you have a very large following (Like, the following for a Vocaloid or a Vipperloid) then I wouldn't recommend that approach.
YT Listing and Soundcloud (so that you may assess where I am musically), my vocaloid drawing/redesign thread (So that you can assess where I am, visual-artistically), I'm likely to have not updated either since 12/30/2012 and now you know what to expect from me 8 |

Record cv and vcv lite: around 1-2 hours
oto cv: 1 hour
oto vcv lite: 3-4 hours

fixing everything up, making flags, fix odd samples, and find quirks: a lot of time...
demo: 1 hour
more fixing: undefined

Full bank for sure. I have an awful procrastination problem, so if I don't, it'll never get done.
