so im trying to get gahata meiji's and kasane teto's voicebanks to work.. ive unzipped the files correctly but im not sure how to get them into the program. ive seen people say to put the unzipped folders in Library>Utau>voice, but that doesnt exist on my computer. i have the english-patched version if that makes a difference! THIS ONE!

You can store the voicebanks wherever you feel like it. Those people made those folders for easier access. To get voicebanks to work in UTAU Synth, add the extension ".utauvoice" to the folder name. Then you should be able to open them.

In UTAU, go to Tools>Option (O)>Bank Regist

Then hit the "select" button and look for your voicebank. Exit out, and then reopen the program and the vb should be there

um, sorry if this is a silly question, but which folder do i rename? is it the first one you get when you unzip the file or the one inside it, next to an install.txt? (this is from teto's vb)

The one inside the folder, next to the install.txt. The outer folder is useless.

If you're using a Mac, the folders "Library > UTAU > voice" do exist on your computer. If you can't find them, they're probably hidden.

If you open up your User folder (the one that looks like a little house, and is generally named whatever your username is) there should be a Library folder for user-specific applications. If the Library folder isn't visible, left-click on the window to get a pop-up menu. Select "Show Library folder," and you'll get a menu of options to select or deselect, including "Show Library Folder." Select this option, and the user-specific Library folder will be made visible. Inside of it is the UTAU folder, and inside of that is the "voice" folder.

You can also open the "voice" folder via UTAU-Synth. Open the program, and click on the character icon in the upper-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear, showing you what voicebanks UTAU-Synth currently knows about. Down at the bottom of the menu is an option that says "more..." Click on it, and the "voice" folder will open in the Finder.

Also, just for future reference, you can (or should be able to) use any voicebank without turning it into a .utau folder. Open UTAU-Synth, then click and drag the voicebank folder you want to use to the chars icon in the upper left corner. Release, and a message should pop up, asking if you want to use that voicebank. Say yes. The voicebank you drag-and-dropped will be loaded. If you look in the "voice" folder afterwards, you'll see that an alias for that voicebank folder has been added. Any voicebank you load in UTAU-Synth this way will have an alias automatically generated in the "voice" folder.

Hope this wasn't too confusing! ^^
