- I have been thinking this over since I saw tweets saying OU was hard to use, or that it just sounded worse than UTAU.
So, I thought I'd make this to help out!
I am using a new editing program so I apologize for the unmodified audio

Please be polite and considerate. Thank you for your understanding.
If you're new to UTAU or thinking of moving to OpenUtau, and you're wondering what this program offers, here's a list of features OpenUtau has that UTAU doesn't:
mac support
64-bit only system support
audio file import support
multiple singers at once/multi-track harmony support
ghost note support
many languages in interface
no requirement to change system locale (though I do suggest doing this anyway, it isn't strictly needed)
phonemizers
AI banks (ENUNU/NNSVS) natively supported
standard/modern piano roll editing
pan slider
2 voicebank file locations
encoding adjuster for voicebanks
built-in frequency regeneration option
above 8-bit integer limit oto entries (basically it allows the use of large/complex banks)
multiple resampler support
curve expression support (with worldline-r)
automated append support
piano roll portraits
one-click note removal
open source (if you dont know what that entails dw about it)
ongoing, automatic updates
some of these are possible in original utau with the help of plugins, but not many

FINALLY! I CAN'T FIND ANY TUTS FOR OPENUTAU ITS ALWAYS JUST UTAU AAAAAA TYSMMMM
O'm gonna be an utau master-
Super nice tutorial! I literally just got curious about UTAU, started today with 0 synth experience, and following this tutorial was super easy and I got decent results :D
I’m so glad to hear this!!
I was making it with total beginners in mind, but i didnt really have anyone to ask to make sure it was the right approach.
I’m so happy to hear it was useful!
English subtitles with Whisper (thanks hako) and edited by me are now available!
Thank you so darn much! I needed this, I am so greatful. I appreciate your work with all my heart.💓
awesome! there's been a small but growing niche subset of retro chiptuning specializing in simulating vocaloid/utau using the composite sine mode on yamaha's FM series of chips. for the longest time we've had to manually tune the thing ourselves using a tracker interface but someone's gone ahead and made an openutau converter to streamline the method. this has been a great starting point for me, thank you!
Whoah, that’s actually so cool!!!
THANK YOU!! I literally couldn’t find a singe online video or recourse explaining this 😭
Of course, no worries! Thanks for the kind comment :D
If you want some more info, there is a Openutau Wiki, you can actually access it from the menu inside openUtau, or find it on google
It’s a bit more technical though
i love this and the tuning tutorial you made pls make more videos like this theyre so helpful
Thank u ;-;
Its like learning a new lanugage. Still don't know what's going on
bless it took me like 3 years to get to this point
tysm!! i was looking to get into vocal synth stuff and was super confused, this helped a lot!!
THATNK YOU FOR THE TEMPLATE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE GROWL FOR LIEK A WWEEK I AM SO HAPY THAT IT HAS GROWL BEAUSJE IDK HOW TO MAKE FLASGS THANK YOU
im just wondering how they managed to write decent looking japanese characters with a mouse in mspaint
also good tutorial
О МОЙ БОГ!!! СПАСИБО ТЕБЕ! ТУТОР КОТОРЫЙ Я СМОТРЕЛА БЫЛ НАСТОЛЬКО ВОДЯНЫМ, ЧТО Я НЕ ПОНИМАЛА А КАК ВСЁ ЖЕ СДЕЛАТЬ ВОЙСБАНК. ЭТО ОДНОЗНАЧНО ЛАЙК!👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM СПАСИБО ЗА ВАШ ЭНТУЗИАЗМ
Thank you for this! If you could make a video explaining how to set up voice colors that would be great, I haven't been able to find clear information on that...
I probably should, but in the meantime there is some more specific information on the wiki. It’s a tricky subject because it relies / depends on the specific voicebank’s setup often and has a few annoying scenarios that can crop up
tysm!! this was very useful :B
is this still applicable to current openutau?
Some of it, but some parts not so much. I’ve been away from my pc for a little bit now so i’m not actually sure what exactly, sorry ^^
hi, modern open utau user here, most things in here are applicable.
22:47 okay so i have a problem here. wehn i press space, nothing freaking happens.
either my openutau is broken
euither my singer doesnt work (teto)
or my space bar is now working (which it definetly is)
can someone help me with this?
edit: also my openutau is white and its blinding me
To start with the most important issue, you can find the dark mode in preferences (lol) but seriously, make sure that you’ve chosen the right phonemiser. Recently, teto’s managers released a version of her specifically for openUTAU! So you might find that easier to use.
If you are trying to use normal teto, use the japanese presamp phonemiser. If youre trying to use teto english, the delta english phonemiser is for you.
Other issues might be the audio setting in preferences (right at the top)! Hit test to make sure you can hear it.
Then make sure your lyrics input is correct (romaji/english words)
@@123happily no like, nothing actually happens when i press space, it worked for once, it was working, it didnt work after that tho.
edit: it worked again, then it stopped
also i was using the openutau teto
i added the english teto on the side, im trying with openutau teto rn tho
edit 2: ✨I give up✨
sorry for wasting your time
@@lotusaku. maybe it was connecting and disconnecting from your headphones? im unsure what the issue could be. you could also try a different voice bank, like ruko. also, make sure that the note you wrote is in hiragana/katakana, because for most voice banks they are aliased as such, and cant read latin script.
@@tacobellrat Haha, i appreciate the suggestiong but, i really gave up on Utau and stuff 6 months ago (you can tell from my previous reply), i figured it wasn't my type of thing and decided to stick to drawing and animating. 😅😅
@@lotusaku. ahh mbmb! well i wish you luck
thank you for your tutorial!
no worries! glad you found it useful!
Btw the description's template link is unclickable for some reason :c
it just makes the link shorter with some dots and the link is "cut" at half of it
youtube revoked my links in description priveleges, and the only way to get them back is giving them my government ID or a 30 second video of my face.
Would say im sorry but its out of my hands.
here's a working link: drive.google.com/file/d/1SUFljnmNVcv_TFybB2FE3Miy6Vy5MM6L/view?usp=drive_link
@@123happily Thank you, I will try the link in a bit
Hello, thanks for the tutorial! Sorry, I don't understand how you manage to connect the notes with a pink line (27:33), I can't do that
I just clicked on the edge of the note, to make them snap together.
If you can’t see the pink lines, check the toolbar above, the button to show them might be turned off
@@123happily Thank you, it works now, probably back then they weren’t close enough to each other
is there a way to edit the tone suffix just like in the UTAU software to remove the tone suffix in all of the lyrics in batches, cause its very time consuming to manually edit every note
Yes, there is actually :D! It’s in the ‘batch edits’ menu on the piano roll. I think it was added after this tutorial :)
Do you have links to the resamplers that you use? Or just a good resource to find more of them?
Honestly it’s best to look for each one individually (often a list will have a broken link or something)
The ones i mainly use are f2resamp, moresampler, TIPS, macres and sometimes spaceworld
hello!! i'm not sure if you said this in the video or not, but do you know any places to get good english voicebanks for free?? thanks !! awesome tut btw :)
Most english voicebanks (and any language banks) for utau are free :D i’d have a look for any list that correlates a bunch then listen to songs with them, or otherwise reddit and utau forums have threads discussing people’s favourite banks
@@123happily thank youu :)
My openutau play button doesn't work at all, help?? I just want to use a teto vb....
Im moving from Ace Studio and this is so complicated compared to Ace (×_×)⌒☆
Have a check if you are using the right phonemiser (JP VCV & CVVC should be good for any english bank!)
Also make sure the lyrics in the notes are in romaji and one ‘mora’ or syllable per note.
Finally, maybe check your audio output settings.@@Luxxcia
17:47 i've tried downloading the teto jp openutau library set from the website and mine just has 9 .svpk files?? i'm not sure why it's done that T-T
i gave up and tried the original utau files and it worked- not sure what was happening before
@@StarlliTV the openutau download section on that website is really misleading!! you probably ended up downloading openutau or something... i'm not sure. in any case, you have to dodge the big download button and scroll further down to get the bank lol
I actually unzipped it in downloads and it works?
It's not like I never had any problems with the program though.
Would you please provide a more specific description of "not going to work", so that I know whether or not do I have to reinstall?
It's possible that the system permissions are different on your computer, in any case if it's working I wouldn't worry about it.
If you start to get issues though, maybe relocate it to a better place.
@@123happily Thank you for your reply!
For creating a voicebank in OpenUTAU, are the steps mostly the same as the tutorial you mentioned? Trying to figure out what steps I need to follow per the video and which ones don't apply.
I’d honestly follow that other tutorial pretty closely. Voicebanks for utau and open utau are overwhelmingly the same, so if it works in utau, it’ll work in open utau ! :D
@@123happily ooh okay thank you ^^ I'll remember this once i have my new PC setup. I Downloaded OpenUtau for my current one, but my program won't run no matter how much I click (I'm on Windows 11). >
THANK YOUUUUUUU T_T
No problem!!!
I know I’m late, and I’m not sure if you’ve already said how to or not, but how do you create a vb for openutau? Do you have to make it separately or can you make it in the software?
You make it separately, and luckily its the exact same process as making one for standard UTAU, so there are plenty of resources out there already (much better than anything I could make!) Especially yupphire’s series on the topic. Best of luck with it!
@@123happily thank you!
I have everything working but it won’t play when I press space
Check your audio output and make sure the notes are phonemising correctly :D
@@123happily I fixed it earlier. Apparently the problem was the voicebank, because when I switched from Teto to Ruko, it was perfectly fine.
25:40 what is the click button?
i *think* its alt and click (and drag)
not entirely sure
OK, so I have this problem where I try to edit parts, but some instruction popup on how the tools work blocks everything while I'm trying to edit. I can't remove it and it's become OpenUTAU tinnitus
You have to read the popup. It tells you how to remove it. This is intentional so people learn how to use the program instead of asking online but unfortunately it ends up like this sometimes lol
I'm using Windows, the classic resamplers still don't work. It's been since the first program releases and even the chance of choosing a classic or the default OpenUTAU resampler is not working. Does your template fix this? Do I have to be in the Discord to find a fix? I apologize if my question is annoying, I watched the whole tutorial just to know if there was something that I was missing... I learned some things but it's not helping with my issue and I don't know what to do.
maybe head to the discord and i or someone else can help you,
Sounds like an issue that needs screenshots to see to fix.
Potentially you might not have any other resamplers downloaded? you have to get them online
@@123happily My issue on GitHub has screenshots and I have the resamplers installed. At this rate I'm going to join the Discord (didn't join for very personal reasons).
Oh hey! It's the fuwa siblings! Hey do you have the discord link? 😢
My utau keeps crashing when using WorldLineR with the PowerVB I made, any reason why?
yes! In short terms, worldline-r is incredibly crash-prone. In longer terms, there's probably an 'invalid' oto entry somewhere in your bank.
try using a different resampler and seeing if any errors come up, then you can look at that oto in particular.
alternatively, try to find which phrase (set of notes) it crashes on, and look at the otos for those notes :)
the "select singer" button doesnt work, my ust file looks different, and theres no sound, i dont think it even plays. help??
you may have to download and install a singer :)
Voicebank download will give you a .zip file you can just drag and drop onto OU (and you can delete the zip afterwards too)
it says i have teto, with the picture on the ust and stuff, i dont know much about this type of stuff and easily get confused so i dont know@@123happily
hey ! I have a bit of a problem-
I managed to install UTAU and a voice bank, made a little test, but I can't play what I did
It really weird and I can't figure out the problem, please help ;u;
I’d check a few things:
Make sure you’re got the right phonemiser selected, if its right you’ll see the envelopes along the top of the expressions window / below the notes. If they’re missing, something with the phonemiser is wrong. For any japanese bank, i recommend the presamp VCV & CVVC phonemiser :)
Otherwise, check your audio output device that its the right one/working :)
the template link is incomplete, would you re-paste it please?
fwiw, this wasn't my fault. TH-cam removed the ability to have links in decriptions unless i sell my soul- i mean- send them a 30 second video of my face, which i am NOT planning on doing.
So here's the link!
I can't pin comments either, otherwise I'd put it there. drive.google.com/file/d/1SUFljnmNVcv_TFybB2FE3Miy6Vy5MM6L/view?usp=drive_link
@@123happily Thank you!
i cant play wit space in ou
could be a few things wrong, make sure the phonemiser, audio output, resampler, wavtool. bank, and lyrics are all good
oh ok
where did u download this openutau??
the link for the template in the description isnt working :'(
Yeah that’ll happen unfortunately unless i give youtube my legal ID or a 30 second video of my face… which is not happening. I’m sorry about that!
You can make your own or see if you can find moresampler’s manifest (a text file that lets you import all the relevant flags as expressions)
@@123happily ohhh lmao thats okay!
HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What if you have your own voicebank and wanna put it in openutau? What do you do?
It should work ok! Any voicebank that works in original utau will definitely work in OU. That’s why i recommend the voicebank creation video linked in the description :)
Openutau is actually more forgiving than original utau in terms of voicebank setup, but its worth getting a bank working for both!
@@123happily tell that to some other mf voicebanks? Because idk how to get the voicebanks i just made into openutau
@@MMDAnimator2004 Easiest way is to zip the voicebank and drag and drop it into OU!
If that doesnt work click ‘singers > install singer’ and select the zip. OU will then do the rest of the work for you
@@123happily trying to zip them
(nvm) how do you get dark mode? My eyes hurt lmfao
It's in preferences :)
@@123happily thank you so much for answering, i have been scrolling comments to find someone who ask this same question, thanks for asking too😭😭, finally i can work without my eyes hurting
hiii pls make an updated synthv basic installation tutorial ♡ ♡
No, I don’t have any interest in the program anymore and there is plenty of information online for how to install it. It is a lot easier than it used to be anyway
