Sooo, hey there people!:wink: (hope ya like long-ish posts lol)
I'm neil, but you can call me miawerz for the sake of a screen name :sing:

I've known UTAU for a long time (well, maybe not that long, I don't really remember lol. I knew UTAU through Vocaloid and the very first interaction I remember I had regarding vocaloids is about when luka was released and I can't remember the date back then lol)

Regarding UTAU, I really like the idea of creating your own character that has a voice. I'm totally an artsy person so I like designing character's and stuff. I like music too (who doesn't) so I really liked to get involved in this stuff. I was going to join here last year but then I didn't cause I want to make content first lol.

I tried to make my first UTAUloid last year then I was overwhelmed with these CV's VCV's CVVC's etc. Ended up making a VCV for a first utau lol (cause I thought since I'm still gonna record a lot of stuff so why not go all the way xD ) It's pretty much an on/off process since school drains out my existence and I can't record when my family's in the house cause I get anxious when recording cause I find it awkward when they hear me recording stuff. Nevertheless, I finished making two utau's!:smile: (I rerecord everything and finish all the oto hell last summer break lol (in my country summer is about march-ish to may-ish)

Here they are, Yuuki and Yuki (veeerrryyy creativvvve names lol)
YuukixYuki.jpg
Yuuki, the male counterpart, is somewhat my natural voice with just a bit of voice acting and Yuki, the female counterpart, is actually my falsetto with voice acting trying to be a cute girl lol
Their demo will come out shortly (well, depends when will i finish the vids on my ancient laptop, but I already finished the songs).
They are both Japanese VCV (and for experiment I recorded english sounds like l's and rolling r's but still in VCV format)
Sadly, I'm not releasing them yet. Cause I think they're still so low quality, well for me, (I've recorded samples with my fricken samsung phone mic, I've tried my best equalizing, compressing, noise removing the samples but I still think it's not hq, you might even hear vehicles in the samples lol)
Also, I'm not that satisfied with their voice types. They are intended to be a young powerful male vocal and a soft middle-ish female vocal. It's already there but I think it needs to be... better, especially Yuki's (my voice isn't quite stable while recording samples for her lol it varies pitch too much lol. First cause it's falsetto and second cause I'm trying so hard making myself sound like a girl lol, cuz I'm a guy if ya don't know. The voice itself isn't that worse. Kinda sounds like a low quality meiko or ritsu but I'm aiming for a luka, you'll hear it at the demo vid) Yuuki on the other hand, still needs a bit more power.
I'll probably rerecord (at that time, it would actually be the 3rd time I record these vb's, the very first ones I actually uploaded some very short demos of them on my soundcloud account which I forgot the password lol and features old crappy designs I made for them) them sometime in december when I'd get a new laptop (as a christmas gift lol) and buy a new higher quality mic (could anyone suggest a somewhat cheap yet decent quality mic :3 )
at that point i'd probably release them (and hopefully the oto generation of moresampler supports romaji files) and who knows? english voicebanks maybe, but right now I'd probably make covers and originals(?) I mean I could write lyrics and think of a melody and stuff but I can't really much do anything with the actual full instrumental stuff (I could play chords on guitar and very basic piano but that's just it). Also I'm still a noob at using the actual program lol. Tuning's something I need to learn and understand fully lol. And I really don't understand how to mix lol (been struggling wuth thst since I tried to make a cover and mix my vocals with the instrumental which turns out sounding really bad lol) .... but i try :wink:
Regarding what the character's personalities are, Yuuki is a cold tsundere lol and Yuki is a somewhat popular-ish, very likeable-type personality but actually has self-confidence issues, and that's it.


So that's it, I apologize for the long post lol,
I hope my experience here would be fun and also hope to meet new friends and people :3

Welcome to UF~ Hope you enjoy your stay here!

Wow... you recorded a VCV on your first try. I don't think I would have survived recording all of that lol but that's good. I like the designs for Yuki and Yuuki they're both so sexy wtf. Maybe you can post a preview? I look forward to their release and maybe I can test them or something when you're going to relesae them.

If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask.

Good luck! ^-^

I'd release their demo later this day (it's currently around 6 am here when I wrote this) cause I still need to endure college and probably make the vid when I get home (or maybe do it right this moment if only my laziness isn't a problem lol)
If you want, I'll just notify you when the demo's out :uhuhu:
[doublepost=1466545848][/doublepost]Thanks for all the welcome messages guys:sing:

If you're looking for a good quality cheap mic, look no further than the ATR2500!
