Uploaded more or less for the sake of uploading, and for VO's karaoke thread. I really don't plan on doing this over or fixing it, so yeah...

Tears [Ai Otsuka Cover]

So lately I've been trying to make a Korean CVVC reclist for UTAU and these are the results so far. Its still missing a lot of recordings, so I had to jerry rig some of the recordings together/substitute recordings. I still don't have any w/y recordings, so they're replaced with their non-iotized/non-velarized counterparts. eg, 랴/rya->라/ra, 봐/bwa->바/ba. Also still no j/ch recordings, so those are replaced with t and/or s. the VB is on one picth (F#3) so a lot of the lower notes sound funky. I'm using TIPS because it seems to reduce volume drops and stutters between notes, and I have no flags. Modulation is set to 20% through most of it.

Basically with this I'm just trying to see if the recording style words or not, where I have redundancies in the reclist, etc. So let me know what you think of it so far, where the reclist could be improved, where my pronunciation could be improved, etc.

[KAI] I=Fantasy [Korean reclist test]

I now have all the basic syllables recorded. Now I just have to record all the y/w syllables, the VV recordings, and then everything times, like, 5 more pitches. OTL Also new from last time I re-recorded all the ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ samples.

For comparison's sake and just for lols I sang the first verse myself in place of the second verse. Hopefully the final product should sound more like that after i get more pitches in. but right now it sounds really thin and scratchy down low and really froggy up high.

Rendered with TIPS. 


[KAI] Never Let You Go [Korean reclist test #2]

Currently a 5 pitch English Arpasing VB, but this sample doesn't use the highest pitch.

When I'm Gone (Arpasing Test 6)

Sorry guys, still recovering from sickness so i haven't been able to record (or re-record) anything yet :/ But here's some proof I'm still alive. Neither When I'm Gone nor Circles did much with the lower recordings, so here's a sample with his lower range.

I think I'm finally getting a hang of editing consonants with Arpasing. Also, I've determined that the derpiness comes from the middle pitch (F#3) which was the first one I recorded. You can hear it in the prechorus ("if loving you was my mistake...") So i might re-record a bunch of stuff on that pitch. idk. We'll see.

Pushing Daisies (Arpasing 8)

Of course after the last track this only naturally followed.

And only slightly derpier than my actual rapping.

When You Make Arpasing Rap

I've been wanting to do a cover of Mind Brand for a while, and I reecntly got in touch with rev, who made Karasu so i figured why not?

I do plan of finishing this, but also its gonna take forever because this song is so boring to tune and has so many harmonies.

Also, first time using VCV so yay?

[湯鬱声からす rebellion] Mind Brand [1 chorus WIP]

It only took 5 years, but he's finally being released. Any of you who also follow me on SoundCloud may have seen samples of this VB when I first made it, but now it finally has a design and so he's ready for the world! :D

(That also means these recordings are literally 5 years old so yeah.)

Also I changed the spelling of his name from KAI to KYE, but its still pronounced and written カイ in Japanese.

Some technical info on the bank: its a 5 pitch CV bank recorded on Bb2, D3, F#3, Bb3, and D4. Romaji filenames with hiragana aliases. It has extra ty, dy, ng, and v recordings (though I apparently forgot some on some pitches. so oops). There are 4 isolated nasals: n (used before n, t, d, z, j), m (before m, b, p), ng (before k, g) and ん (at the end of lines and everywhere else).

Flags used here: g-5 Mt10 (I didn't wanna low gen him, but otherwise his CV and Arpasing banks don't match (the Arpasing line is flagless))

I really recommend moresampler, but he sounds good with fresamp as well.

Also featured in this video is KYE's upcoming Arpasing English VB. I plan on making a VCV VB as well, so stay tuned you guys!

If you guys DL him and do anything, I'd love to see it!

[KYE] ヒバナ [UTAU Newcomer]

I literally just can't mix anymore. Everything I've mixed lately has sounded terrible. I sorta just gave up on this one.

Originally I was doing this to test out Karasu_Hollow, but he was too breathy for this song sooooo this happened instead.

[Yuutsukoe Karasu_Blair] Hello/How Are You [1 cho cover]

10 points to the first person to guess who's on the right and who's on the left (I don't think its that hard without music but I guess i know my voice and KYE's voice pretty well. plus I'm the one who panned them XD)

Tonight was not a good night for recording. (more to follow)

Accidentally In Love Comparison

How's My French? (Un Monde Sans Danger)

No, not really. English is my first language. Really just uploading because I recorded it, so why not? My pitch isn't as good on this one as it was in the French version, though :/

How's My English? (A World Without Danger)

I don't even know. I can't seem to get anything right with this VCV bank. this is my third attempt at recording it. I deleted attempt 2 cuz it was... really bad. Here attempt #1: https://clyp.it/nn02engn

Originally i didn't like the first one, but the mroe I try to redo it the more I'm like, maybe that's the best it'll get. 

Let me know which one you guys like better. 

Just keep in mind attempt 1 (on clyp) is monopitch (F#3) and this one is bipitch (F#3 & Bb3)

ugh.

How to VCV??? (Time Machine)

I hope you're happy Kendy and sleepysheep

WinterdrivE ACTUALLY tries to christmas (Santa Baby Cover)

FINALLY got him released. 

So this is the original niki version of -ERROR. I'd already mixed this before I found Omoi's and i figured i should upload it somewhere, so here it is.

To hear the version with Omoi's arrangement, and for my full explanation and of course the download link, head on over to the YouTube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRxCUDehLfw&lc=z235trdhwobehad1m2hd0tj20fpz0s14kcm5tc4epj00u00c2

[KYE Arpasing] -ERROR (niki ver.)[Voicebank Release]

I felt like I should upload a proper sample of KYE's upcoming VCV, so here's one. 

Some extras to look forward to in this VB: 
-Separate glottal stop VVs
-Ending voice cracks
-Nasalized g consoannt
-Separate VV aliases for [V ん], [V んn], [V んm], and [V んng]

Feel free to give any feedback on how he sounds!

[KYE VCV] Soundscape [1cho Preview]

So I wanted to see if it was possible to combine KYE's VCV and Arpasing VBs without any super noticeable changes in tone or any weird choppiness. And the answer is yes! at least in this song.

UST by トラタ

KILLER B (1 Cho) [Combining Japanese and English UTAU]

This voice for KYE: Yea or nay?

Please by all means give feedback on what you think about my voice here. i don't typically sing like this and its kind of hard for me to maintain a consistent tone.

I Know What Voice I'm Gonna Give KYE Next O_O (KILLER B again)

Got bored and this happened. Recorded this all in one take, but its the third take i recorded. I think my pitch control is slowly getting better! (This has no pitch correction)

Also, i wanted to let everyone know that I made a second SC account @WinterdrivE2 . i'll be uploading to that one when this one runs out of space, so go follow that account too so you don't miss anything!

Here's another short test I did with SynthV, focusing more on using Tension & Loudness to create expression.

Also, make sure to follow my second SoundCloud account, cuz this one's almost out of minutes: @WinterdrivE2

[SynthV Eleanor Forte] Lost In Thoughts All Alone (1cho cover)

Only the main line is rendered from SynthV. Everything else is done with a VST. I figured out how to use Little AlterBoy as a harmonizer, so naturally this happened. Its effective, but suuuuper annoying, so idk if I'll ever finish this.

[Eleanor Forte] Hide and Seek [Imogen Heap]

OMG he's finally here! check out the Youtube link below for the full description and cover and, of course, the download link!

Also, this SC account is running out of space, so I'd really appreciate it if you guys could pop on over to my second account @WinterdrivE2 and give me a follow over there!

I've decided I'm no longer doing vocal synth and I will focus solely on producing high quality rips from now on.

Super Mario Sunshine - Secret Course (Galactic Version)

【きりたんNeutrino】恋になりたいaquarium 【1cho】

Its currently a 5-pitch CV bank, but I intent on adding 2 or 3 more pitches before its actually released. this is just a preview/demo of sorts.

Please, let me know what you think.
