    What do you feel that you need to work on to be better in the UTAU community?

    I'd really like to pump up my ability to create more often. I feel really slow compared to everyone else and I'm trying real hard to not get discouraged! >.< Especially since I often feel down about my work ethic and how much I compose... I also want to be engaged in the community again...I...

    How old were you when you found UTAU and Vocaloid?

    I was in middle school when I really got into and discovered Vocaloid and UTAU. It likely came off from looking at a whole bunch of Touhou stuff and finding Vocaloid stuff mixed in there. Back then I was a huge fan of the Macne banks haha. Alas, I couldn't make my first voicebank until high...

    Vocaloid Superiority?

    I dislike pitting Vocaloid and UTAU against each other, since both engines have their own drawbacks and triumphs over each other. At most, I like to consider it as a commercial vs indie developer issue: Commercial development (Vocaloid) has set standards, so that even the worst work is at some...

    The Original Song/Producing Discourse

    That's a bit of a pessimistic way to consider young artists in the community, isn't it? I know you say that the more mature musicians will move on, but why is younger artists expressing themselves in this way depicted as a bad thing? Though granted, you frame it from more of a perspective of...

    The Original Song/Producing Discourse

    Ah yes, that's another thing I forgot about...comparing ourselves to the Japanese community. I think one of the most difficult things about not comparing ourselves to the Japanese community is that right now, there are so many big things happening on our side of the world. Western users now...

    The Original Song/Producing Discourse

    I've noticed a lot in the UTAU community, and the Western vocal synth community in general, that there is a great amount of discourse on producers, producing, and song writing. There are some common issues that crop up from time to time. For example: The amount of "edgy" music being produced -...

    Was it hard to find a name for your UTAU?

    Trilli's name is just kind of a repurposed reference to a musical term, the trill, which as a woodwind musician is pretty relevant to me. Later I learned that Trilli is also Tinkerbell's name in Italian whoops. Clarina is literally just making the word clarinet into a feminine name. An UTAU...

    Cheating?

    A base oto is good for taking some of the tedious extra aliasing and other stuff out of the way, but generally you should make your oto fit to your own recordings, not the other way around. Even when you record to a bgm and specific tempo, no recording will exactly match a base oto, since...

    Looking for any and all CVVC voicebanks!

    My UTAU's latest JP release is CVVC. Not my fave bank in terms of sound, but she's pretty compact. Here's a download. And a vocal sample.

    Why do you think CVVC isn't so popular?

    If you're not great at otoing, your CVVC won't sound good. Learning CVVC otoing can be a great step for understanding different oto styles (especially if you're interested in doing an English bank later on), but it's still fairly difficult to get right, especially on the first time. This can...

    An UTAU vs an OC.

    I tend to think of OC as just really any character I create, so for me it's like squares and rectangles: All of my UTAU are OCs, but not all OCs are UTAU!

    How would you feel if someone you don't like used your utau?

    Mild appreciation, cringe, and move on.
