Just wondering what your thoughts are on this subject. How do you make a foreign UTAUloid sound smooth and well... just good? I've tried recording an UTAUloid in CV, but it sounds reaaally awkward. Any suggestions?

What language are you recording? Are you talking about making a Japanese voicebank for a non-Japanese UTAU? Or a different language entirely? |

I want it to be only in Italian. Without Japanese stuff. I've recorded +140 different sounds, but they can't "mix" well together. Edited by Suiseiseki, Nov 6 2011, 11:58 AM.

usually the best way to record a non-Japanese UTAU is CV-VC. At least it works pretty well with English. I already made a reclist for German and Latin and it looks like that: you have strings like "kakekikokuk" for consonant+vowel and vowel+consonant parts and "ansa-ancha-anta..." or "atka-atla-atma-atna..." and so on to have consonant+consonant samples so that the transition between the consonants is smoother Edited by Berin, Nov 6 2011, 12:10 PM.

I guess the best way would be to find all or as many phonemes used in the Italian language as possible and record them? I don't know how the Italian language works honestly...maybe there's a reclist somewhere? Languages have different sounds that they use as well as different pronunciation. CV will only sound oh so smooth with so many languages, others CV will probably not work at all. |

Already, you'll still have to record some Japanese sounds as they're both used in it and in Italian I think about vowels, loads of phonemes Like the combinations più = kinda like pyu As Iris said, do the list of phonemes to record After, I can't tell as I'm not working following on purpose a model in particular for languages '_' For French I'm doing it by myself Spanish, I'm adding important sounds like rolled Rs, jotas, C/Z.... English some sounds like the Rs (even if Victoire will be the only one having them for the moment as she's supposed being the English-tard amongst my UTAUs), sounds like in "more", th sounds etc... Plus, as some sounds are justly both used in languages or quite close to each other, I think I'm rather working with a mix of sounds For example with English, it would stay be a mix of English + French + Japanese Sorry if it was useless but what's how I see this .//." Anyway, I don't really think I can follow a model at 100% ... |
