UTAU vb breath issue

[h4nz is the best]

I have a few breaths that I put in for my voicebank but whenever I try to play them, utau just crashes...

Are they OTO'd?

Are they OTO'd?

yes

 

[Nanika]

yes

Did you record a vowel before/after the breath?

Did you record a vowel before/after the breath?

No. I think it's because I oto'd it weirdly. I'll try and fix it then come back here

Well, It's actually recommended to record a vowel before a breath!
But yeah, it could also be to OTO.

I've done a tutorial for this kind of thing. http://fav.me/d8q9icg

(The tutorial is little bit old but works, just oto like this instead like in the tutorial)

And.... if you didn't know. You can also use breathes OUTSIDE of UTAU. (aka. add breathes in "good" places in mixing)

Using breaths in UTAU is a bad idea even when they do work.

I'll have to disagree to that above statement- breaths in UTAU can actually sound really good, you just have to place them on the note that they need to be placed on (depends on the specific breath) but -
First one is breath recording
Second is the breath played in UTAU on a B2 with 50BRE and the envelopes like a trapezoid

Based on my experience, UTAU Synth (although I think it works for UTAU PC too) crashes everytime I record a quiet enough breath sound straight from oremo. But when I open it in Audacity, crop it a few times and export to wav to be used in the voice bank, it should run properly. Moreover, when I record a vowel in the same string as it, it will work perfectly fine.
