Mkay. I download a reclist for Romaji, will be using later. However, I'd like to know a few things. One, is Act1 just one language? Two, MIDI's, how the heck do I import them? Same goes for VSQ's. I recently downloaded Aido, will be using him later. I also want help on making my own, so yeah. Man, I'm confused. |

Namine Ritsu is a trap. Ruko Yokune is both genders. Sukone Tei is a troll. Reason why I love UTAU? It's more internet-like. :3 | |

lol Let's see here: 1. Act 1...or any Act for that matter is left to the discretion of the creator. It can be whatever you want it to be. All Act 1 means is that you don't have any other voicebank out for that UTAU. Act 1 is the first voicebank you create for them rather it be bilingual or not. Acts after that rather they be 1.2 or 3 or whatever are improvements of Act 1 and usually have better pronunciation, nicer samples, louder/clearer voice, add a language, etc. Again...they're at the discretion of the creator. 2. To import Midis and VSQs make sure your computer's system locale is in Japanese and open UTAU. Then go to File(F) and then Import(I). Find where your midi is and import it. If it's a VSQ then make sure your file type is on VSQ. 3.Making an UTAU...oh boy. I think you'll need to be a tad more specific. Like do you want help with creating the voice or the character or...what? XD Edited by IrisFlower, Oct 16 2011, 04:31 PM.

OK here's a quick tutorial <3 Making and utau: step one: Recording: record your samples , in this case it's cv so you have to record every single syllable separate. Be sure to have clean, background-noise-free recordings. The vowels should be about 1sec to 1,5 secs long and all others not longer than 0.8 secs, but it's no problem if you don't hold onto that. Step two: Putting the folder with all recordings into the "voice" folder in utau and make the oto.ini. There are different ways to do that and you can find many tutorials. You basically have to cover everything that shall not be in your recording with blue, the consonant should be covered with pink, the red line must be at the point where the consonant ends and the vowels starts and the green line is at the start, before or in the middle of your consonant; it varies because of the different consonant types^^; like that: ![]() If you are unsure, I can do that for you in exchange for a drawing as reward :3 Then you can already use your utau, but it should also have a few other things: a "readme" txt file with character information and/or terms of use; a "character" txt that contains these lines: "name=(name of your UTAU) image=(image of your utau, must be bmp, 100x100 big and in your utau's folder).bmp author=(creator's name, in this case your name) sample=( a sample, if not chosen, the program will play a random wav. file).wav web=(your or your UTAU's website)" and an install.txt ,that must be outside you folder but inside the .zip with your voicebank, for an automatic installation by dragging the .zip file with your vb on the open utau program, : "type=voiceset folder=(name of your UTAU's folder) contentsdir=(name of your utau) description=(optional description of the content)" Then you're finished =v= If you need help with specific things then ask them directly instead of writing"i need help with making an utau"^^ Edited by Berin, Oct 16 2011, 05:17 PM.

-high fives Beri- Yep she basically got the gist of it~ As far as recording goes you have a few programs to choose from. Don't let people tell you the program matters because it doesn't =_= OREMO is just easier to use and can help keep your pitch the same however as far as quality goes all programs will net you the same result. |

Grah. Mkay. I got it mostly. I was mostly wanting to know what the whole ACT thing was. And like. Yeah. Recording, I've got that down. And setting the locale in Japanese? Will it change several things? |

well you don't HAVE to change the locale...I didn't at least. If you don't change the locale or do what I did, utau or several functions won't run |

The only thing Japanese locale has done to my computer is put my clock into military time and turned my back slash into the yen symbol at some points. |
