SHINAMI RETURNS

Some of you perhaps saw my return on SoundCloud, but I'm back!

For those who have never known me or people who may have forgotten with time, I'm an old UTAU user (though not around as long as Myst and SRS) who got into UTAU I think in 2010? And I kinda started floating away early 2014 because of life. I have worked on many UTAUs and USTs in my time but I didn't release many unfortunately. Even my pride and joy bank, Leil, has existed for over two years now and was never released. It was interesting watching her go from being a cutting edge bank at her first demo to now just being average.

That aside, I'm probably most remembered by my tutorials I made (THe USTS were of mostly obscure songs haha), and I'm probably the only person who advocated USTs by hand rather than by MIDI haha! I kinda like to think I also greatly helped with the spread of VCV through the English speaking community as before my first tutorial dealing with it there were very few VCV banks and many that existed had awful, incorrect otos. No one really got it. While looking back my tutorial is terrible by our better-educated standards, it was a step to bettering the community which in my opinion is a great thing to be proud of.

Anyways, I'm back and I hope to comtinue to help better the community! After August rolls around I plan to buy Parallels so I can go back to using UTAU-PC rather than Mac's Synth which is awful. I'm excited to make USTs again and also plan on commissioning someone to oto my banks so I can pump out a high quality bank like I've always dreamed of.

What really got me back into the community was Cz's new VCCV English, very excited for that! I already plan to do a bank (who knows how the oto will happen haha!) and USTs are ready for conversion.

Looking forward to everyone again! I will be making a thread asking what's happened since I've left. Hope to see some of you there!

Hi Shinami and welcome back ovo)/

I believe we've met before but at the time I wasn't too active hahah (one day I was like "oh, whatever happened to this person?
It was always nice to see your works and I can't wait to see your future ones! They were always really good heehee-
You may have noticed that the community has changed a lot so it's probably gonna be a shock to see how big the shift was!(hopefully in a positive way)

Haha thanks for the formal welcome. XD I do seriously remember you from years ago though like you said I don't think you were super active, I think it was mostly you posting aroudn the forum. And yeah it has changed a bit. Feels very slightly more barren here? D: Are there less newcommers these days? Or it's probably moreso they're on different social media and I doubt the word about UTaforum gets out too often sigh. Maybe I should like host something here to advertise it or something. I know at some point during the week I'm going to do some art freebies so keep a look out!

And hey Aali, welcome yourself to UTAU! :D It's a very fun and interesting program and I hope you like the community! It's a bit of a harsh learning curve at the start but once you get the hang of it anyone can make great banks and USTs if you put the effot in.
