Is it good or is it bad for a utau voicebank to sound or be like ....

Yeah,.. a voicebank... when i look at other voicebanks and you quick on the sample it sounds robotic and short
and when i look at mines it's voicey and long ,.. and is that a good thing or a bad thing , i heard longer is better but i'm not sure like a short aaa that may be like a few seconds versus a prolonged,.. when i play the utau it sounds whole lot different than the samples which are Voice as it's voice... as in human,.. in utau it sounds like a regular utau but... there has been some problems... like... i'm not sure if it's plugin related... but i have a plugin that's okay but recently not too recently though i had thought i had Eradicated the whistley air noise sound that was predominant in my second attempted at a particular aimed vb because at first, i really just tried from how my voice was that day,... and my voice was really soft and quiet absolutely no air sound or problems,.. no specific sound in it..like how it should sound , not male but not to much high feminine of a voice it's mellow and soft almost like a whisper but isn't only problem it had very few sounds so couldn't sing a full song chunks were missing like kyu or kyo , but.. next attempt i had accidentally decided,.. to attempt a Gender purpose vb it ended up Male although it was very i don't really know messy like if you go to my profile and look at my items you can find the very first vb and hear for yourself the errors,..or i guess i could attempt to share it,..

the second attempt to make it sound well same voice and sound represented by the same character consistency i was able to keep and the way i recorded it the second time around was muffled as in i literally took thick layers of tissue and recorded that way muffling my mouth while i spoke to record,.. and the Vb wasn't muffled or unclear,.. or anything like that the tissues didn't really have any effect other than softening it up one time
but needless to say i had replaced and rerecorded troubled files like は /て・で that how obvious issues like on te my voice sounds like i'm dying like eeehh basically it cracked and de turned out the same way

but replacing the files didn't really mess it up it worked fine but い is where the problem is that i'm well aware of now they are whistley and i'm not sure if it's because of a ust i used or a plugin that kind of i noticed that the air noise had now be there which was not in the vb originally it was completely OKay before

why do i keep getting random air sounds on い and it's not on all い notes when you load usts that worked well before,.. it seems in a random order on some words ie is air noise, and other it is ie ,.. and it's not just higher notes it's anywhere ,.. the most songs are within it's singing range how can i fix the air noise

sustained samples have more to work with, as long as they aren't held to the point the voice is fluctuating through out. if you are having an issue where the is sound unlike the source files, are you using a particular wav tool and resampler? in addition for troubled files, the one(?) listed appears to have the naming for a glottal stop or vocal fr y て・で(te de) and は(wa).
regarding an air noise this could be influenced by how the breath or frq is being handled by a resampler.
do you have more samples of these issues?

The longer your samples, the more material you'll have for higher quality results. The tradeoffs are that you may accidentally prolong your consonants (which won't fit fast songs very well), and that you'll take up more space on your computer with bigger files.

why do i keep getting random air sounds on い
Especially when you're making CV voicebanks, that's just how the vowel tends to sound- very out of place compared to the rest of the vowels. I recommend, at the least, recording VV strings (VCV style samples but with vowels only). That way, you'll get natural transitions from vowel to vowel, which should help the い blend with the voicebank more.

well originally i had a lot of those issues in the past where the very not first second time i created a vb/utau it was completely compromised with all those air sounds and statics which is why i don't use it although the wav files seem fine but when played they are really messy as well as the current one with the relist,.. i had done to avoid the air and static noise i thought i succeeded but i failed maybe two or three months ago was when it had the air noise and before the file was fine, but more samples i only really have two copies of the same utau vb and.. the two stages,.. origin copy first record lots ofs air and static second one is almost normal when you download it is as is fine and functionable but has a few error notes like ha, and very few others, i haven't replaced it isn't recent but if you want i could give you the dl link for either one

that works. would Urei's bank be the "2nd"?. I'll go check.
well, it's the first of the vb i was working on the very first time i ever tried everything worked fine different voice/recording than Urei's but the one you can see is the first attempt at Urei , but i have the link to the second voicebank wich is the same utau but a completely different vb i haven't released it yet , but here's the link i haven't updated the vb i have the oudated version where ha is just fine no problem files etc.. but if you want the orginal with all the errors the one you can find in showcase the links here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1of48vf-PqxTitR4lWApFmxk33DNWJSD_

2nd most updated the one that started having the same issues https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dvPvjVL9TkWKhQ9_hJJ3VgRc6YoriCkN?usp=sharing
