ok so... to start off, my 10th anniversary using of utau is approaching soon in late may/early june! this also means it is nearly my utauloid's 10th anniversary! id like to finally get her act 3 together; its been a WIP for nearly 7 years.
to put it simply, i was still in school when i began working on act 3 and was never able to stay consistent with it for a few reasons. a few times i did record all the samples but... they often were never the quality i wanted. they werent anything terrible, but just were not what i wanted, even with editing.
so my first question is... is the quality of the voice samples that important? of course the recordings need to be past a certain level of clarity, but past what level would you consider it to be "this is great but any better would just be the icing on the cake" ? more or less, i am very self-conscious of the clarity of my recordings and while i know i can basically never reach ritsu levels, something like milk is my dream. i unfortunately only have my laptop and phone microphones to use; while ive wanted to get a more ""professional"" mic exactly for this reason, i have not be in the situation nor environment.
secondly, i really want to get my utau's 3rd act done. i need some assistance keeping up on it and... probably oto'ing. maybe even artwork...
ultimately, i really want to get my bank done. its her 10th anniversary and ive had covers in mind for ages! ive also had other banks planned but feel i need to get this one done first. i could use some tips on quality/clarity, staying up on myself recording multiple pitches and appends, and keeping up when i reach the oto phase.
maybe i should just do it, regardless of quality? im not sure...
