Making an utau takes a long time

I've been working on my new UTAU voicebank for months to be honest. xD But then again it's VCV and there are 4 VCV banks included with it so
and coming up with a nice design and doing good artwork takes some time too.

I say don't rush it.. rushed stuff tends to not be your best work ^u^

i can make an utau bank in 30 minutes, recording + OTOing.

It takes me years. I'm dead serious. The bank can be 99% done and it won't be released for a very long time.

Leil was 90% done in December 2012. It's February 2014, she's been ready for release for half a year though I do need to rerecord one string, but she isn't out yet. And that's not as bad as Kimusume VCV, which is now getting towards two years of being almost done but not out. wow i suck at this.

Recording/otoing itself, I can get that about 90% done in a few months. I only do 7-more VCV at the moment though.

Go faster than me, that's all I can say. Months=good, years=bad.

mine took me months, mainly because my laziness haha.
Otoing take most of the time, and I'm very lazy if I have to rerecord.
When I create my first Utau, character designing took a whole month.

Like Olivia said, It's okay to take your time. It's not something to rush anyway.

Pfrrttt yes I know all about this. My laziness hurts. xD
I still use my first recordings, and after four years I still haven't recorded a VCV.

But nowadays, I think it's really hard to come up with a good name and character design, its good to take your time.

it takes me about a week

Honestly...Iris's Japanese CV didn't and doesn't really take long to release. Recording and oto-ini wise.

Her English is an entirely different story, but I'm gunna leave out the year or so after I announced I wanted to give her English capabilities cause I wasn't even working on her English bank then. I was but it was only for like a month.

Then CV VC English was made/refined to the point of others being able to use it and from June 2012 to late December 2013 I worked and slaved away on her voicebank ;; And it was one "Yeah she'll be out in a few weeks/days" after another and the artwork and gaaah I felt horrible until I actually got it out.

Bottom line is take as long as you want just don't promise people things until you are 100% sure it'll be out if you're like me and feel guilty about that kind of thing.

What kept me from releasing her English was just overall wanting to give people a quality bank and it was a lot of work ;; Lots to record and lots to oto. And then I wanted the bank to have nice art and kept having art block whoop~ Making banks, good banks, is hard and a lot of work but once you do get it done the feeling of accomplishment is pretty damn nice. Especially when people appreciate it not gunna lie.
