    Momo momone only sometimes works for me. Any way to fix it?

    Some of the voicebanks (about 5) are VCV only, use at your own risk and no CV layered with it.

    What does a Japanese Vocaloid's singing sound like to native japanese speakers?

    As in any other language, it depends on how much work you put into making the crossfades and syllables sound realistic. I otherwise have not gotten a straight answer to this question, mostly because I don't know how to ask it correctly.

    Utau Idols?

    Isn't this what the VOCAMERICA type shows and any "chorus" videos are, or can be?

    We need to start talking about the future of UTAU's engine development before it's too late

    I'd rather have something run in the PC too, but the more households I know about that don't have them because of tablets and phones, it becomes more understandable. Personally, my way of making music is dependent on the existence of QWERTY keys.

    As long as you can download the rendered output, or save in some way.

    Is Utau dead?

    Trying to figure something out without the instructions is part of the fun, sometimes. (Actually, it's how I learned the music and software words.)

    Sounds that interfere with recording.

    I took up using this stuff because I can't find good time to record a vocal. I came here to paraphrase an important tip. If you know your microphone's pickup pattern well, you don't need dead silence to record. The first step is to point your microphone at the thing you want to pick up. For...

    Is Utau dead?

    Try to get younger friends involved if you can. This is in the eye of the beholder, but as far as making a new voicebank, unless you're doing something super-novel and specific, it's unlikely that someone will check on it unless you've managed to blow away the competition. And in art and...

    Vocaloid Superiority?

    Yes, I'm honestly saying UTAU is the superior instrument and has been for a while, but it's easier for an unskilled user to get a good sounding result quickly in Vocaloid. The examples of Vocaloid voicebanks made with help from the UTAU community make me think of too many cooks spoiling broth...

    Vocaloid Superiority?

    Sure, UTAU was broke kid's Vocaloid in 2008. Nowadays Vocaloid rips off features from UTAU.

    Vocal Therapy, tips & advices needed

    There is no substitute for having a doctor and voice coach familiar with your particular situation. It is unusual to have vocal polyps at a young age.

    You know that "unwelcomed" feeling?

    The best thing you can do is not be what is turning you off. It can be tricky finding people to communicate with when we're using software that is designed to make it easier to create on your own. I'm pretty sure nobody is intentionally being cold, so it becomes a big matter of perception, and...

    We need to start talking about the future of UTAU's engine development before it's too late

    JACK isn't that bad once you're used to it, but the sentiment is understood. You don't really need it to do what we do. This is all very positive news, to me; as not only will we be able to run the code in a virtual environment by then, I'm sure some of us will keep legacy computers just to run...

    Opinions on Selling UTAU-related Stuff?

    By letter of law, yes, the law is broken, but in reality, as a plaintiff you'd need a lawyer willing to take your case up front and cover the court costs for you, and you'd have a lot to lose if the litigation fails. I'd say "what kind of a jerk does that anyway" but I already know this stuff...

    Share a weird dream you had

    When I was in high school I had a dream that I was in the back seat of my girlfriend of the time's mother's car, my girlfriend in the front passenger seat, her mother driving, and she drove over the edge of this bridge https://goo.gl/maps/Stu7mTEAVwm for no reason. We all drowned in the river...

    Anime that you wish had another season?

    Any slice-of-life that stops when you can tell the manga keeps going. Too many to mention. What the hell, Attack of Titan.

    If/when/how did you introduce your friends or family to Utau?

    I don't share my music with my family, and after it became a touchy subject (my own fault, really) they won't ask about it anymore. I won't share my music in an unsolicited manner besides a social media post. Edit: They're more concerned about how my daughter is doing and about regular family...

    Resolved Defoko

    "Defo" for default, "ko" for the typical "子" ending of Japanese girls' names. It was given by NND video watchers. She was later given the proper "Utane Uta" (The sound of singing singer) to fit Crypton's convention, like most of the early voicebanks.
