I only did this for fun, Steel's UST really impressed me. If I did it for srs I'd edit this to death (and hey Leil has english Rs and Ls), but again, just for fun. Though fortunately this song showed me the single string I accidentally skipped when finishing Leil (n yi n ye n yo). yikes thanks
And she doesn't suit the song great, she can't do those low notes + vibrato without grossness ensuing.
and realized just now that i'm blending the translation and romaji versions of the title hah i dunno why it's just how i think of the title

was fun to randomly mix on audacity because i only use reaper when for srs

Oh and I'll upload Blue Tears as soon as I get the video done. ...which may take forever because my job is sapping my time and energy ugh

Oh and also at some point I want to take on the 1.5 Hour UST Challenge, already chose a song and everything, just need the time to do it. ;;

tokio funk is a pretty cool song

just noticed the moon irony

Stopped here because hey I can post this in the 1.5 Hour UST Challenge thread.

SO TONIGHT I FOUND THIS SONG AND DAYUM EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS AMAZING
THE PV, THE TUNING, THE MUSIC, LOVE IT
AND I'LL BE A COOL KID IF I MAKE A UST OF SUCH A NEW AND POPULAR SONG
NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN WAY TOO HIPSTER
and if i do a ust of this then i don't have to make arts because pretty pv (sob relief)

Hakupo 2.0 is on main with tn_fnds while old Hakupo will be harms. I thought tn_fnds was being the awesome bomb until chorus and drowning Hakupo. I guess I'll just render the chorus with EFB-GT, fresamp14, or resampler. And didn't do harms for chorus yet, I can't tell if they're three part and I'm too tired right now.
DIDN'T GET FAR BECAUSE those pitchbends are SO HARD i can't imitate it well enough ugh
also imma do fancy vshifter dynamics edits to make vibrato be super cool

I WILL DO THIS
SO I CAN BE FIRST
though it's late tonight (3 AM) so tomorrow

*sweeps all other duties under rug*

[WIP UST] Crescent Moon [Tsukishiro Hakupo]

I know this song has appalling lyrics, and Cola absolutely hates this song is is likely mad at me, but I really enjoy it. :'D

It's incredibly catchy and, while the lyrics are sad and gross and complement the squicky sounding music, I think Kikuo is rather genius in what he went out to do. This is an incredibly creative song and one of my favorites of his (of course everything he does is great).

anyways
Bored on UTAU-Synth, was playing around with random USTs. I actually got my data back today but I'm really intimidated in installing Windows on a MAC, I don't know how and I worry about antiviruses and uwahhh.
Woulda played with Kimu maybe but I don't have her bank on this computer and she isn't complete anyways.

gomenne gomenne (EQ fun with Leil)

Felt like doing a me compared to my UTAUs thing again, last time I did so was ages ago with Kaisho and Kimu VCV. 

Order is me, Kaisho VCV 0.1, Kaisho CV 2.0 base pitch, Kimusume VCV, and then Leil VCV. Also Kimu + Leil sound kinda bad, shoulda fixed the flags.
I tried to base the pitchbends on how I sang it, and did the editing with Leil, hence it sounds perfect on her. And Kaisho's VCV are so old ughhhh and Kaisho's CVs are CV and not oto'd too well and I don't know. kaisho needs some redoing mmhhmmm
my recording's quality isn't too great, i neglected grabbing my pop filter and my room is a terrible recording studio

So yeah, no one sounds like me really. Leil slightly. *shrugs*

Shinami vs her utsus

EDIT EDIT as of May 10: woah woah woah wait did someone big like this and everyone is noticing it now? XD I'm so weirded out but grateful to everyone who think this really quick thing was good!
I expressed before that I'd do a full tutorial, but I've put it off, so maybe I'll get it done on Monday (Cola is coming over to hang out!). For the few who are commenting about Kei banks having aspiration, I breifly mention it at the end, and if/when I get to a full tutorial I'll be sure to mention it more fully.

/edit

Someone on Utaforum didn't understand what I meant by aspirated consonants, and I couldn't find a video on YouTube that was short on it.

It's early-ish and I need to get ready for work soon, so I sound really tired hah. Dunno if D or G are actually aspirated in English, better to be safe then sorry.

EDIT: ahahahah why do people like this so much i recorded it so quickly after i woke up. Might make a more comprehensive tutorial like Olivia is unless you already are in which case I'll watch for it.

How you should be pronouncing Japanese consonants

like i said i just wanted to ramble into my mic in joy over it being back in commission

To summarize, before Summer Semester starts I really want to:

-Release Leil (hah)
-Finish Overlap UST
-Make tutorials
-Update Resampler Directory ugh ene
-Start a YouTube thing

and also i feel bad over kaisho's third birthday (gosh so long) and may contemplate rendering her remaining files of her high pitch for her tripitch cv vv bank and ship them off to cdra with money for otoing

My Yeti lives! (Rambles about plans also)

Now it's copy/paste/edit time! Yay! I'm hoping I'll get this done tomorrow!

I finished the art too, this is what the AMV I found will be on with the art: http://imgur.com/yOeXlX6
It's lazy in some spots, but I'm done with it finally. Better than the Laru art I did last time at least. (and goly gosh I'm now realizing it's getting close to a year since i uploaded a video wat wat wat well more like half a year but still)

I'm going to have to beg for someone's mixing services when I get the video done, and I'm going to check out the MAC's version of Movie Maker - if it doesn't have transparency and there isn't anything free to use that doesn't I'll have to ask someone to put the base of the video together (I can put in sound + subs, just not combine the video and pictures).

if you feel like offering that would be great orz

but excited, this sounds really good, yes. i think i'll use teto for shuffle since i haven't used her before, no freaking clue who would suit warriors and voice yet so suggestions would be cool

[WIP UST] OVERLAP [Waon Ikuto (Overdrive)]

AGHHHH UTAU
DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN REMEMBER ME 
PROBABLY NOT
Long desc. ahead describing why I disappeared and what I'm looking forward to doing!

(As a side note, second song is sped up because it passes the copyright check that way hahaaha ;; )

So much has changed in the two years I've been dormant! And it was for good reason - work + school and then eventual big family problems just left me with little time to read and play games let alone fiddle with computer programs. Plus Synth is garbage (Don't get me started on bank incompatability, no resamplers, USTs can't bridge OSes very well, etc uuughghu). 

Though so much has changed! I'm still trying to get into contact with Hentai and Myst so they can fix my Utaforum account so I can make a thread asking for a summary of the last two years. XD I'm guessing it's the same problem as the last forum move, my Tutor status makes it so I can't do anything as it isn't in the system correctly.

So much has changed though! :o People have left and come in, rose and fell from fame, there's Ruby being made by UTAU people and just wow guys so much has happened! I'm probably going to buy Parallels for my Mac at some point because UTAU-Synth is utter garbage. 

SOOOO what got me all excited about UTAU is Cz's new VCCV Engilsh reaching completion. A lot of songs I wanted to do stuff for were English but this new form is just so clear it brings me confidence. And I'm an full time working adult now so when I record my own bank I'm definetly paying someone to oto my bank for me, haha. If her promise of fairly easy recording/otoing is true you can count on multipitch english from me!

ONTO THESE USTS.

 I made these in the past week~ So currently they're using Engrish placeholders until I get voicebanks for VCCV. Halt will be replaced by Cz but Hakupo...there is a serious, huge lack of powerful males in English and if Aido doesn't get a Full bank I don't know what I'll do. Engrish it up maybe? :/ Come on people! If you record a strong male bank heck I'll pay for someone to oto it for you!!! I'll make a design and spearhead it by placing it in all these emo mid 2000s songs I want to do!!! ; w ; (you can bet that thanks for the memories is up next)

i missed you utsu
hi people please don't hurt me

I'm baaaack! Super excited for VCCV English really haha

>in my defence i didn't know what i was doing
>no oto
>no tempo
>no timing
>mode 1
>bad pronunciation
>this bank perished in a computer crash
>good
but hey making usts from day 1 eyyyy

+10 brownie points if you recognize this song and know what kind of weeaboo i was

Immedietly after this came https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhScPSd6JfA much improvement, still terribad but yeah

My first ever attempt at utsu

I mean her accent is very heavy, but some extreme convel helped with that (300 on those T's sometimes), also your voicebank isn't very user friendly man, took a bit of work to make her smooth and understandable in Japanese! And it's called CVVC not VCCV noob!

(JK JK JK please don't kill me)

Everyone on Utaforum was making her sing Japanese so I thought I'd join in on the joke haha. It did take a bit of work ugh, I imgine it'd be easier with the CVVC plugin on UTAU PC, you could use it with a Japanese CVVC bank then just edit into her English. But yeah with the addition of the DD consonant which sounds just like Japanese R at times Japanese is very doable with a slight accent using Czloid!

EDIT: FFFFF TS IS AN ENDING CONSONANT ONLY, CZ PLEASE RECORD TS SAMPLES (only problem I have run into)

This is how you use Czloid, right?

tokyo hungee silent town

So I wanted to test the tone of the pitch I recorded (this is B3 for Leil) and slapped in the base oto, nothing was touched up at all. It's gloriously hilarious. I think my favorite part is where she can't stop breathing (which is "- o").

ahhh i can't wait to have real samples to show of her multipitch (is getting oto'd plus finishing recording)
until then just have funnies

playing unoto'd pitches on tokio funk = LOL

So only Czloid and Yami (and Akane but she's soft) have full voices right now and no one suits this song yet. :'D I constructed what I have so far with Czloid, though leaving some room for touching up/fixing when I get a voice I like. I wanted to play with Yami but he crashes Synth soooo hard, I have no idea why, he manages to sing the chorus but the verses are crash-a-thons. I regenerated all his FRQs and stuff so it must be the WAV files? Synth is cruel.

I'm mostly looking forward either to Bodytemp's Marasmius or Miramiee's Asane Hana to sing this haha. Now just to wait. 

The very end bit is Konpeki no Sora to show why I'm waiting for a power voice or a more than one pitch bank - diversity of tone and strength on the top notes! I'm looking forward to a VCCV English UTAU who can hit that.

(and improve the lyrics. also synth has no options to touch up/optimize crossfades at all, apologies for grossness)

Lyrics if you were curious (they're only like 50% understandable orz):

I was running on an broken heart
(Note to self: it's supposed to be empty not broken)
Not a trace of gasoline
Trying to dim every single spark
That could hurt, that could burn all of me

If you hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay, we'll be forever
And I surrender, surrender
(Should be Then I surrender, gosh shinami)

Surrender WIP UST

Tried to start a UST. Only after a million pitchbends and slightly screwed up harmonies later did I realize THE NOTES ARE TOO FAST ; A ; *gives up* And I was going to make her sing with Rerasan QnQ
Added echo to make it purdyyyy


Jutenija UST fail

*goes to delete old uploads*

IF ANYTHING IN THIS MIX MAKES YOU GO "WHYYYY THAT'S HORRIBLE", PLEASE TELL ME

yaaaay done pitchbending that rap section made me want to die of frustration
Onto the video (which will also take forever sob)~
Hope everyone likes the actual video as much as they seem to be liking the Soundcloud uploads. XD

[FINISHED] Never [Haruka Nana + Cinnamon Ani Usa]

I KNOW THERE'S A VSQ
I DON'T WANT TO USE IT SOB (though I'll probably reference it for the amazing monstrosity at the end)

TIMING IS SO HARD
MY BPM IS PROBABLY OFF
BUT WHATEVER WITH CAREFUL EDITING IT DOESN'T MATTTTERRRRR SOB
THIS IS MY FAVORITE NICO MEDLEY MANNNNNZ
HARMONIES WILL BE ADDED LATER

01 - Black Rock Shooter - LADATA
02 - Heavenly Star - Czloid
03 - Do-Dai - Isoko Ruby (strong), 銀歌スバル, KAMIREI

Singers are being selected, for the most part, randomly (after screening to make sure they suit the song of course). Anyone know that Japanese one (Subaru)'s last name in romaji? I couldn't find out. ;; No hiragana in her readme, and romaji-fier sites are spitting out something I know is wrong.

IF HEAVENLY STAR HAS ANYTHING WRONG, AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT DOES, TELL ME.


*goes to sob at why I'm doing this*

i'm pretty much commiting suicide by doing this

I'm an UTAU user and creator of Kenage Kaisho, Bion Kimusume, and Leil. I frequently make USTs.
