Try lowering the notes by an octave (12 semitones, not 10). If that's too low for the VB, it may be better to lower it by less than an octave, but keep in mind that if you move the notes by anything other than 12, you'll have to change the pitch of the instrumental to match. eg, if you lower...

If it's clipping it's most likely one of 2 things: The audio you're recording is simply louder than the maximum Sound Pressure Level that your mic can handle. This is limited by the hardware of the mic itself and the only way around it is to make the sound that's physically entering the mic...

Unfortunately you're just going to have to rerecord them properly if you want true vowel transitions. The whole point of recording stringed vowels is to capture the natural transition between them as you mouth moves from one to the other. No amount of audio editing will be able to truly...

What viran said. You have a whole bunch of silence at the beginning of the oto, which is cutting off the note before it. With CV VBs, you generally don't want much if any silence at the beginning of the oto (depending on the type of consonant)

What resampler are you using? Not every resampler uses .frq files, but UTAU will only show you .frq files. For example, if you use TIPS, it creates and uses .pmk files and UTAU will not show anything because there won't be any .frq files if they haven't been generated by a resampler that uses...

It depends on the language and the reclist used for the VB. Generally speaking, lyrics are not entered as whole words, but as phonemes. Typically phonemes come in pairs, aka diphones, but may come in other combinations as well. Eg, instead of inputting "love" as a word, it would be input as [l...

There's not really any kind of agreed upon standard for what should or shouldn't be included for extras, so really it's up to you. Imo it's most useful to include spoken things that are likely to come up in songs, since it's meant to accompany a singing synth. For example, numbers, "hey"...

So, I was just testing mkototemp to see what it might be, and the only solution I could find was to add literally any single character to the start of every line. I'm not sure why, but it seems to expect that there will be an unused character at the start of every line (probably due to the...

I'm not sure I understand the question. [ya], [a y], [ye] etc is what a CVVC oto should look like, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

You can change your locale after installing utau, however you cannot open utau with anything other than Japanese locale. You'd need to change it back to Japanese prior to using UTAU. For what it's worth, nothing modern should be affected by your locale. Locale settings are mostly a hold over...

it really depends on the voicebank and your preference. If you want to use stretch, then use stretch. fwiw, I don't find the looping effect that noticeable in your sample on most syllables. Te was the only one where it sounded noticeably off, and it sounds like its probably an actual oto...

While the e flag is an option, you can also edit the moreconfig.txt file and change synthesis-duration-extension-method auto to synthesis-duration-extension-method stretch, which will make it stretch by default if you want to go this route. The Me flag will force looping if you want to force...

Just as an extra note, once UTAU has been properly installed with Japanese locale, you can change your locale while UTAU is installed as long as you don't open it with a different locale. Your original post made it sound like perhaps you thought you needed to reinstall it any time you change...

Is your UST set to the correct tempo? For a vast majority of songs (certainly any song produced electronically/on a computer), as long as the tempo is correct, the timing of the bars/beats in UTAU will line up perfectly with the music Like, you can turn it off, but you shouldn't need to, at...
