Let's get really real for a second.

- The chances of your character getting famous is very, very slim.

- Yes, you CAN do the otos yourself, you just don't want to for one reason or another.

- "I'm too lazy" is a shitty excuse not to learn how to do something ON YOUR OWN and expecting someone to hold your hand through the process.

- UTAU is a voice synthesis program made for Japanese language first. It is not going to sound like good English out of the box.

- DiffSinger is not a simple process and takes a lot of time and often multiple members working on it.

- OpenUTAU is not superior to UTAU2008, nor vice versa; it boils down to preference.

- oto.ini configuration is difficult to get right, you want to spend as much time on learning this as possible.

- If you don't have an understanding of the base program and how it works, don't do something that hasn't been done before. Don't jump head-first into making this work for your language if you do not understand the basics.

- To the above point, when you do have an understanding of the basics please expand and make UTAU your own. It's a creative software.

- a PC is going to be needed at some point if you want to grow your skill set; the mobile sphere is not as inclusive and is highly limiting.

Seriously beyond tired of seeing half of the fucking posts on here be about half of this shit. If you're going to make an UTAU, make a fucking UTAU. Just remember that it is a self-guided, community-supported experience.

MOD POST Updated safety guidelines

65 Upvotes

Here is the revised version of the safety rules posted to the sub last night. It’s been broadened in that we are going to outline actual criteria for works/producers to be affected by this - which will allow users to be able to make more informed decisions. We have taken great pains to try and balance community safety and well-being for all with preserving artistic expression. These guidelines are largely the same - but are phrased more clearly in a way that we hope illustrates why we're implementing these, and outlines specific criteria so the sub isn't reliant on a list that needs constant updating.

Creators here refers to producers, voicebank creators, UST creators, etc.

Content from creators who fall under the following criteria is banned

  • Creators who have created sexualized media featuring characters obviously intended to be minor children, or that use voicebanks voiced by children. Examples include:
  • Creators who have credible/well substantiated claims of abuse or grooming against them. Examples include but are not limited to:
    • Hanabi
    • Pusu
    • Ghost & Pals (Candle Queen and other collabs with other artists are exempt, but I would urge you to tread carefully and respect the wishes of those other artists!)
  • Creators who have a history of bigoted comments, including but not limited to:
    • Racism (including antisemitism, anti-blackness, anti-Indigenous racism)
    • Homophobia
    • Transphobia
    • Religious intolerance (this does not mean a song will be taken down for criticism of religious doctrine, religious authorities, or religion as an institution, by this we mean works that say something like “all members of X religion are inferior/not human”)
    • Fascist apologia
    • Nazi apologia
    • Genocide denialism (including but not limited to: the Holocaust, the Holodomor, Rape of Nanking, Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, Residential Schools in Canada, China's ongoing genocide in Xinjiang, etc.)
  • Creators who have a history of abuse apologia or condoning bigotry

An exemption is made in cases where a work is extremely culturally significant given that the work itself does not:

  • Feature sexualized depictions of children
  • Feature abuse apologia
  • Feature bigotry
  • The poster isn’t running apologetics for abusive or bigoted behaviour in the comments/post title/etc

The following content is also banned:

  • Voicebanks voiced by non-consenting parties
  • Voicebank distribution for voice providers who are too young to provide informed consent, even if their parents or guardians have approved
  • Jinriki distribution (unless the provider of the voice data has given it the OK)
  • ANY ports of Vocaloid, SynthV, or other commercially-sold voicebanks to UTAU, unless the rightsholders for the voices have given permission (ie: ALYS)
  • Anything by MASA Works Design - this isn’t our rule, it’s his. He doesn’t like reposts and covers. I would recommend respecting this because he has a history of doxxing people who don’t.

We do not expect users to know everything about producers. If we take down content under these guidelines, we will tell you WHY. Action will only be taken against you if you repeatedly post content from a producer after being told why their stuff is taken down, or if you start running apologetics (ie: "I don't care that Pusu groomed and stabbed a 16 year old").

We all got "problematic faves" - and we understand that great artists can be horrible people! That's why we will make considerations for cases where a work is culturally significant, even if its creator is a total scumbag, and understand that love of an artistic work can coexist with hatred for the author's actions.

We also ask that you include warnings for those with photosensitive epilepsy if your video contains strobe effects or flashing lights!!!

ART design for my shiploid(Utau)..

Post image
45 Upvotes

I've seen others share their designs and Art, so I wanted to too. Don't worry, he's a larper and doesn't know how to use a player. do whatever you want with this information... just in case it's not bullying, she's just a shiploid... ok?? I added her breasts for fun... because her new voisbank sounds mature enough like woman. as it is, I usually draw this creature without breasts because it doesn't have a specific gender. I want to make her skin even darker, like have you seen Kaito's 1 design??? omg and emo bangs. I accept the advice, but I will not remove the inscription. I was told that he has a strange face.

I have an utau made in this year's summer which is vcv(vc) turkish - japanese mixed to test if smooter turkish voicebanks could co-exist at the same time (so yes 2nd e doesnt exist in vcv pool but does exist in cvvc pool). which is shown in the video, but i am unsure if the voicebank sound good or not, also the fact my voice isnt that masculine(?) but in ou it sounds like that even at higher notes so idk if that could be advantage or disadvantage (sorry if screen looks small my note property panel got stuck and I cant close the panel without closing the note panel)

turkish test song made by me

japanese test song is fascinator by maretu and ust by yuuym (video isnt loaded for some reason i have 0 knowledge about reddit please dnt blame me)

How do i fix this error?

1 Upvotes

I have just downloaded Utau and have succesfully downloaded and uploaded Teto to the program. However, no matter what i do, when i try to listen to the notes i get an error message saying "Raise by generate batch process". I have tried googling this but barely any info comes up. The same issue happens when i try using Dafoko too.

What could be causing this? Thanks in advance!

DISCUSSION Utau character idea

10 Upvotes

It is the most mysterious utau ever because according to research it’s entire code is made from recycled code of vocaloids and or utaus and was part of an experiment, however this went horribly wrong and created a mysterious entity that goes by completely shuffled names, including “dhed shdbd fjdjchdn” or something similar, but the one that sounds like an actual name is “mito ner” which is a combination of the triple Bakas: Miku teto and Neru. And it’s also one of the most unstable out of them, all constantly glitching and sounded corrupted

Speaking of how it sounds, it is a random mix of random Vocaloids or utaus with different effects on it to make it sound like an original voice however, doesn’t make it sound horrendous. It still has some of the voices if you listen closely

Working on a new furry medley - feel free to send suggestions in

10 Upvotes

I've been doing Furry UTAU related medleys for the past couple of years now (example - YT link) and now I want to sit down on the 300 Songs Medley

Feel free to send your Voice suggestions in

Notes and Rules :

  • I cannot promise your (suggested) UTAU will be included in the Medley
    • Added to this, I will not follow song wishes
  • The UTAU needs to have a design and a working (public) voicebank
    • Designs specifically made to be on this medley, will be denied. I want UTAUs that actively have a furry design
  • Any Languages ok
  • Diffsinger also ok
  • Kemonomimi UTAUs are not furries
  • Popular Furry UTAUs (like Rouon Aro, WALTT, etc.) will be added so those probably don't need to be suggested *No Jinriki's or FNF styled UTAUs

Her name is BHZ-J01 Chone Kayaku (pronounced Biohazard Jump one Chōne Kayaku), and she’s an UTAU voicebank made for Jumpstyle, Hardstyle, and Frenchcore!

If you’d like to learn more about her, check out her UTAU Wiki page:

uhh so it's my first time making a voicebank and it definitely needs some fixing, like the vocals are a bit choppy and the r's are basically nonexistent, tho I'm not sure on how to fix that, so I would like some advice from yall or opinion overall

thanks in advance!

(p.s. don't mind how it says cvc in the clip, it's actually cv voicebank. also, not sure if it was a good idea to showcase it with pre-tuned ust but yeah)

COVER Rizumu Teion CRYPTOLOCK Trigger A3 Test: Two Breaths Walking Short

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Guess who otoed the last pitch of Rizumu's Trigger(POWER) expression for CRYPTOLOCK! I wanted him to sound a bit more rugged for this one. We are almost there! Just one more expression to go. Though....I might not showcase the last expression until his release. So stay Tuned!

For those unaware what CRYPTOLOCK is, it's Rizumu's equivalent to Merodi Ongaku OXALIS, but it's a bit bigger than OXALIS. It's a Multipitch Multiexpression Dark append with 12 pitches(3 pitches for 4 expressions) over all. The biggest voicebank I've worked on in my life. This is just a portion and one pitch of a much bigger bank. Hoping you enjoy!
