Good and bad memories with UTAU?

[Misha]

Good Memories:

Hachi's first original thanks to Yesi ;x;
Hachi getting fans overseas. Gosh I was so happy when she was used in that nico chorus.
Meeting my tomodachi in Texas <3
When Hachi won best female jfhsjalapsjfhhdhsj
Seeing Kei-chans art of Hachi. It always looks so perfect ;___;

Bad Memories:

Looking back on my act 1 and seeing how god awful it is. How could people have actually liked it OTL;;;
Stupid bouts of drama that flare up once in a while

 

[aplusod]

Bad;
Way back a little more than two years ago, computer crashed and lost all language files and UTAU wouldn't work at all.
Realizing how much I sucked at art and designing and drawing and anatomy and coloring and and and...etc. Dear god that stuff was terrible!
First VB of Shizu I made... Such bad pronunciation and oto! Urgh, should have joined a forum or two first...
Fist VCV I made... Dear god I had no idea what I was doing. (I knew a little more than my first CV oto, but still...;; )
Trying for the last year to get one of my few irl friends to re-voice Aroku. And failing.
Realizing I haven't gotten to know anyone these two years (besides Deska, but that's only because it's irl), besides one or two little things on Twitter. Or reading everyone's tweets, which doesn't really count. :v
And various other minor fails.

Good;
Getting Deska into UTAU. Being soooo close to getting another friend into it, although at least I've gotten her sorta into VOCALOID... Only a matter of time, haha. (But I still can't get either to make their own UTAU. orz)
Realizing I've never been the cause of drama, or even part of it.
Finally joining VO and UF and such.
Getting some positive feedback on Shizu. Of course, I've a ways to go still...
Three or four people actually using Shizu without me signing her up. (And the number of downloads is usually more than I expect. Haha.) (And I'm throwing in the few people who've drawn her, and the few who have used her in fanfic~ Thank you so much!)
Getting a hell of a lot better at drawing. And pronunciation and listening to pitch and such.
Being sorta part of a fandom for once, I guess.

 

[Yue Nagareboshi]

Good memories:

• The day I met Yesi-chan, BV, and Artemi
• The day a JP user used Yue on a Christmas Carol Chorus 2 years ago
• The day I got the notice a lot of people from JP and OS supported me on the Arisa Mitsuko problem
• The day I learned how to make usts and feel productive (recently)

Bad Memories

• The day that the Arisa Mitsuko problem started. It got harrasment from every forum on earth were Mitsuko was a topic. (Yes, on Earth. I was attacked on Spain, Brazil, and LatinAmerica
• The many times I lost Yue VB due problems with my netbook. The first time was before his release, just on Megurine Luka's first birthday. (Yue's crush with Luka XD)
• The day I had to go to Social Service last year and I lost the contact with many UTAU friends, to the point where I feel the relationship with them is not the same anymore

 

[AnMeiChan]

Worst memory is when I got a dislike on Oka's birthday ;_; It really disheartened me, but luckily that was the only dislike on that video.
Other bad memories include when my computer that I recorded all of Oka's syllables on died, and when I realized that all the OTOing I had done was wrong, so I had to start all over orz

Best memory was the first time someone else used Oka C:
Other good ones were when I first covered a whole song with Oka, and when I got my friends to record some voicebanks :D

 

[EspeonLady]

Bad:
-Rushing Fukasa, and so many bad samples were had.
-The one kid that made intentionally bad videos with Fukai's ACT1.1 and art.
-Taiyo stuck with trilled R's forever.
-Negative Feedback forever.
-That one time my computer crashed last April and I lost Fukai's first attempt at ACT1.3. Tears were had.
-When I first joined the fandom and I came off as a huge, clueless weeaboo jerk., and spammed everyone inboxes for halp.
-People telling me I should just quit UTAU
-No personal computer, had to use the family one with the crap processor.
-Sitting back at watching all the UTA-drama that was had.

Good;
-Making like, two friends
-Helpings people
-Improvement, feels good yo.


Meh.

 

[LupinAKAFlashTH]

Bad: Divide by zero.
Good:  Everything else

 

[irei1as]

Bad:
-Having to use resampler.dll for the dot/comma problem. My ears still hurt.
-The first comment ever in one of my videos was from a random troll totally unrelated to UTAU (with the crappiest porn as their uploads!). It was kind of depressing.

Good:
-Trying English in UTAU. Maybe I'm not very good at it but it was very fun. And I loved when the voicer liked it.
-Actually, it's very grateful when you use some other person UTAU and they like it! Even if I'm not very skillful and I can't obtain near all the voicebank potential.
-Fun with the UTAU program in general, too (specially after the dot/comma fix). I really do love freeware! -What a weird statement-
-People in this fandom is usually nice. I guess I've been in way worse fandoms, haha.

 

[MioDioDaVinci]

Oi vey, where to start...?

Bad Memories:
- Nearly loosing Salvador's bank when my hard drive was replaced.
- Waiting five months for someone to .oto Salvador's bank. (I ended up doing it myself.)
- Showing my UTAUs to my family for the first time. I didn't know my father was so racist. My sisters were rather accepting, but dear admin, my father. He was rather... upset that I was making "squeaky little voices squeak in some darned language neither of us could understand." I dropped UTAU for several weeks after that.
- All the time I spent with Crevan's beta. I was so obsessed with making her perfect and sound as human as humanly possible (pardon the pun) that I made at least twenty mixes of about sixteen songs. And I still wasn't satisfied.

Good Memories
- Uploading my first duet with Salvador and Ayano Avaron on Matryoshka. I felt so proud to have finished a bank all on my own. C':
- Hearing my first UTAU make a noise for the first time. Admittedly, it was a scraggly little coughing-dying noise, but still.
- Meeting so many amazing people. I swear, each and every UTAU user has their own little quirk that makes them bloody brilliant. ;u;
- Getting little comments like "I like her voice" and "They sound nice together." I think my heart explodes a little each time I read on of those. It is for this reason that every other Friday I go on an UTAU commenting binge and comment on all the UTAUs who have gotten little to no recognition the time they've been uploaded. I would use more banks but it's difficult enough trying to create cover art for mine alone. I go a month or two between uploads. OTL

 

[mangosiryan12]

I'll start with the bad one:
-my utauloids sucks
- no mascot, just voice
- I broke 5 microphones in recording

good:
- has many utau user friends
- I meet my waifu
- my utauloid has now appends
- people uses my utauloids~ thank you guys..

 

[Roze]

The only bad UTAU meory I ever recall having was when I accientally deleted Yuumei's good ACT1. I was devistated..But it did give way for me to rerecord and be able to have Yuumei's awesome ACT2 so..Maybe it was good, too. xD;;

 

[Asuka]

Bad memory:
When I couldn't figure out why my UTAUloid kept on singing one song and only that song.
I made her sing Double Lariat once; then the program crashed. When I re-opened it and tried to make her sing any other song, she would always since Double Lariat. This also happened to any other voicebank I downloaded... =A=

Another one that is happening right now is that I can't figure out why my UTAU keeps on having these pitches like it was badly recorded. It just happened recently and I can't figure out how to fix it. I'll probably have to re-do the voicebank... >___>

 

[khisui]

BAD
- suddenly screaming UTAUloid who make you jump out of the window. I had wrong settings back then..
- OTOing problems
- about 20 recorded and ruined voicebanks..

GOOD
- the first own original song. I started to cry for the happines..
- Nice people

 

[glaciachan]

Bad:

Using UTAU for the first time with a MIDI and wondering. "why does this sound so rough." Oh, and the first time I tried to mix. HAHAHAHAHNO.

Good:

The first time someone used one of my UTAU's. I was nearly hyperventilating in excitement. Yep, I'm a dork.

 

[StarlightsShadow]

Bad:
First using UTAU...
Mixing problems.
The fear of people hating my work.

Good:
Made me realize I want to do something in music.
Makes me want to become a great composer.
Now has a love for the VIPPERloids.

 

[RadiateJoy]

When I was a newbie I would accidentally spam...A LOT

 

[Shinaichivocaloid]

Bad:
-When I first started someone (not naming names) harassed me into shutting everything down and made me feel so bad that I quit for a long time.
-When someone stole my UTAU and claimed it as her own (it's still up even though I reported it)
-The first dislike I got really hurt my feelings
-When I got so paranoid by someone else s opinion that I almost shut down all of my accounts (I feel stupid about that now)

Good:
-Making so many amazing friends in the community
-When someone commented for the first time saying that thy loved Megan
-When someone I didn't know used Shinaichi in a video
-When I convinced my friends to make UTAU's of their own.
-The moment I finished Megan's bank and knew I had finally done it.
- Making my first ust.
-When people use my UTAU and comment saying they like it
