Welcome to the UTAforum!

UTAU is a Japanese voice-synthesis program used to create singing vocals for music. It is much like the more popular, commercially sold Vocaloid products, but UTAU is freeware!

Elementary Mixing Tips for Vocals; Well it was written for Engloids but works for UTAUs too!

In his next entry into his Koda's Kolumn Series of articles Koda-P covers elementary mixing in all your favorite audio programs. It is by no means a comprehensive guide, thus the "elementary" title, but it should help point aspiring producers in the right direction. It was originally written about Engloids and Vocaloid vocals but it applies to UTAU too. Creating a song should a a BIT more than exporting a UST and combining it with a backing track!

While normally I would repost article here but in this case Koda really outdid himself making his latest entry a 5 page, 6 hour (to write), 2,000 word epic. I will post the introduction and you can read the full article on Engloids.Info with its embedded audio samples and all.

Time for another kolumn article. My boss (a certain lover of hentai) says I gotta write at least something about mixing down VOCALOID vocals. You know, so the average Western Joe has something to reference when trying to making their originals sound as professional as possible. I hope this quick and dirty crash-course will help inspire you to go out and make your VOCALOID music sound just as good as all those Japanese producers do, with all their audio-technological black magic and whatever they pull to get so good! ^^

Okay. The first step is to define “mixing”. The technical definition can get pretty intimidating, but we’re gonna make things easy for this guide by defining it as “making the vocals (VOCALOID) and the backing track (your off-vocal music) sound good, but distinguishable from one another”.

While it’s easily possible and many VOCALOID Producers have gotten multi-hundred-thousand-view songs despite doing it (see Yugami-P’s Alice Human Sacrifice), it’s not the best choice to slap on the vocals and crank up the volume. After VOCALOID spits out a WAV file for you, it’s your job to take care of a few things before you can call your song “well-mixed”:

As usual comment on it if you have feedback.

Suggestions for what you would like covered is also good.
