The one cardinal sin I have committed with this video is the fact that my most popular video, with almost 3,000 views, includes the mispelling and mispronnounciation of the word "reclist" throughout the entire 6 and a half minutes of this thing.
This tutorial was really help for me! As a first timer using Utau It’s really hard finding some vids on how to make Jinrikis so thank for that ^-^ I have a problem with trying to make covers: for some reason some of the words do work but then all of the sudden it stops even though there’s a syllable word in there I don’t know why that keeps happening maybe you could help me understand it?
What do you mean “all the sudden it stops?” Like it stops making sound when you’re playing it back, or it stops making sound in the final rendered version?
@@Rocaloid The first one it will play all the sounds normally at first but then it just stops all together I thought I forgot to insert the lyrics so I did that but it was just silence when I replayed it back. I wish I had a video so I can show you cause I’m very Terrible at describing it 😭
@@Rocaloid So I tried converting it after follow a bunch of tutorials and it still isn’t working! It keeps stopping at the exact same spot every time and isn’t playing the rest of the lyrics
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not, but if you know how to pronounce romanji correctly then you’re good to go. I’ve heard some voicebanks that use English sounding vowels for a Japanese voicebank and it’s… not very pretty.
The UTAU folder is what holds the software after downloading it. In it you'll find a "voice" and "plugin" folder, and in that voice folder should be defoko. (Defoko isn't important for anything, she's just the default voice that comes with utau and a way to know that you're in the right place.
NO CUZ THIS WAS SO HELPFUL TYSM do you know if you can port the jinriki to openutau once you oto all of the syllables?? i normally use that for utauing shenanigans
I know nothing about openutau, but you could at least try and see how it goes? It probably wouldn’t hurt anything but if you’re really worried about it then you can just make a copy of the folder to test.
Oh, you’re not supposed to save the files into the utau folder DIRECTLY, make sure you have your folder under Voicebanks you’re saving into. Let me know if that solves the issue.
@@Rocaloid i know this is a bit of a dumb question, but is the "Voicebanks" folder that you're reffering to the same folder as the "voice" folder in the utau program files?
Hahaha "so you want to make a jinriki utau? But have no experience in the program?" Yup, you got me 😂 Edit: I had to subscribe 👍 But I have a question! Is there any way to go into an existing voicebank that sounds good, and look at the samples it is based on? So you can see how each sample should be pronounced when you make your own?
@@Rocaloid What role does the reclist play in a finished voicebank? There are so many different reclists for cv and I downloaded an utau vb to listen to the samples in it, and I notice there are samples in there that aren't in the reclist you recommended. For example, it has "ああいあうえあ.wav" which doesn't seem like typical cv stuff? How does utau know what to do with the samples I put in the voicebank, do I have to do some kind of programming when I make a voicebank to tell utau what to use for what, or...? I am so confused
@@instant_mint it’s a lot more simple than you think. If your voicebank has extra sounds, chances are they just won’t be used by Utau. You can have all the extra sounds you want and they literally will not do anything unless you use them. A voicebank is literally just a file folder, it can work with anything you put in there.
Well, I'll ask a question, what happens if the audios of my jinriki I decided to do it with a low pitch? I mean, I changed the pitch in Audacity and then I cut and save them. Am I doing something wrong? because I already otoned them, they don't sound.
They don’t sound low? Yeah, utau (especially the tips resampler) tends to do that. You can fix this with a feature called flags (that you’ll have to research because idk how to use them) but basically they tell utau to change the pitch of your voicebank.
Try using the voicebank without the tips resampler and if it sounds fine, then maybe that’s the issue. I can’t recommend another resampler though, because my computer’s antivirus blocks literally any other resampler i’ve tried
@@Rocaloid lmao The same thing happens to me but on my personal laptop, it won't even let me download UTAU or any other program that is not "verified" by Microsoft. I had to use the familiar to do it
@@Rocaloid Like you try to find a japanese syllable for your voicebank ("wa" for example), you search through the Acapella of the singer or character you are making a voicebank. But you couldn't find anything compatible, any tips for that?
@@endlessveemo well, you could find words that have the sound you want in them. For example you could find “wa” through an English singer saying “wall” or “water” But if you’ve exhausted all options, you can combine the “w” and “a” from other sounds in audacity using the cross fade option. I don’t recommend doing this unless it’s your last option, because usually it ends up sounding really choppy.
What are you trying to do? For a good sample, you have to make sure it's clear and you can understand what's being said. If you have to, you can use an AI website to remove background music. Vocalremover .org. But it's got a limited amount of uses everyday so use it sparingly.
@@Rocaloid I'm trying to find sample that sound clear, have a neutral tone and are the right pitch. I think I might've screwed up by getting a VERY long voiceline compilation of the character i'm making, which contains screaming and all that stuff. So I have to sort through it a lot to find what i need. It's the only voice sample without background sound I could find, that's why I used it. Maybe I'm better off looking for shorter clips and removing the background sound, as you said. (As a side note, the character's voice is in English, so i'm guessing it's just naturally harder to get the sharp sounds you'd normally look for an UTAU)
@@Reiko8467 finding the right sample is not as specific as you’re making it. Firstly, all of my voice banks have English voice providers, and you can make Japanese voice banks with them just fine once you know how to pull Japanese sounds from English words (for example: mu from move, ko from cold, etc.) Also, they don’t need to “be the right pitch.” It doesn’t matter what the starting pitch of the sample is, utau can make it sound the way it needs to. What I would do if I were you Is to cut out all of the screaming from the voice line, as that is unusable, then tackle whatever you have left by listening to the words spoken and seeing if you can find a sample from said words. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. Good luck on your journey!

if you voicebank sounds slurred, select all notes, right click on a note, click Region Property, and set the consonant velocity to 200-300
Omg u put so much effort in these my lazy single called brain could never

Eh, the result is very much worth it in my opinion.

@@Rocaloid
It's not sarcasm :)
@@SuitcaseTheInnocent ah, okay, well I hope your Utau journey goes well :)
there is also romaji which is not in japanese
I used this tutorial to create an utau of my dog. It sounds awful. 5 stars
The problem is, I don't have a UTAU Folder NOR A VOICEBANKS FOLDER. How am I supposed to do that?
The UTAU folder is what holds the software after downloading it. In it you'll find a "voice" and "plugin" folder, and in that voice folder should be defoko. (Defoko isn't important for anything, she's just the default voice that comes with utau and a way to know that you're in the right place.
worth the wait : D il try this as soon as i get my samples together askjsdhskds
Yay!! I hope it’s easy to follow.

openutau should have an option for that, but i don’t know where 🥲
Where does OpenUtau store vbs? I'm on linux and regular utau is very wonky there
Unfortunately I have no idea. Try asking r/Utau (on reddit) or looking on utaform.
its telling me i dont have permission to save the audacity files into the utau folder :(
That’s weird, are you sure they’re saved as .wav files?
Oh, you’re not supposed to save the files into the utau folder DIRECTLY, make sure you have your folder under Voicebanks you’re saving into. Let me know if that solves the issue.
@@Rocaloid fixed !!! thanks :D

Yes actually, at 3:38 it shows how to look at the voicebank settings. There you can see all of the samples and double click one one to hear it.
Just make sure the voicebank is recorded in romanji so you can read what the sound says.
@@Rocaloid Thank you for answering!

yooooooo any tips if you can find a compatible syllable in a sample for your voicebank???
what do you mean by this?

Amazing tutorial but oh god finding good sample is so TEDIOUS, this is gonna take a while....
