I want to start an UTAU group with people.

[HiddenVenia]

If it's alright with people, I think I'm going to drop out of this. I think it's gotten a little to big for my tastes. =(

 

[baye]

Ah, alright! I hope to work with you again, sometime!

 

[Fawkesy]

Should we take a count and see who all is in this group?
I came in a little late, but I think we should have a list or something~

 

[baye]

Ah, I have a list, I shall post it.

Currently our members are:

ScandinavianSweetie
Snowsongstress
Candymarbles
Mei Okurin
MsStarryDreams
Fawkesy
Harazoki Yuki
TheLoonyLibrarian
EspeonLady

 

[HarazokiYuki]

Just saying again, I am fine with anything you guys pick  << I feel cool

 

[baye]

Alright, I think I've decided. We will do a technology-themed group with class structures, such as mages, warriors, gunners,  heroes, etc.

I will find a nice color scheme and I shall post some options so we can all decide on a relatively correlated group color scheme. Thank you, everyone!

Also, we need to think of a name!

 

[ScandinavianSweetie]

So, we're doing cyberpunk mixed with RPG...? *is a little confused*

 

[baye]

Yes, we are. I was thinking that we could have the same classes as an RPG for characters, and also have them designed in the manner of Cyberpunk. I hope it's cleared up for you.

 

[MsStarryDreams]

Oh my gosh ; w ; this theme makes me melt it's so awesome.
And uhmmm...  . ______ .b dibs on a ranger? (Anything range, gunslinger, archer, etc.) I find that designing rangers comes very naturally to me since I love playing as them so much~ I'd love to design, OTO.ini, record, you name it.

 

[baye]

Alright! I'll let everyone pick their classes. I was thinking of having a nice matching color scheme for our group with different styles of outfit.

I would really enjoy if everyone recorded their own UTAUloid. OTOing it by yourself would be really keen, and there are a lot of us who can check over oto files to see if they're made correctly.

Also, would anyone mind if I set down some guidelines for recording/creating the UTAUloid?

 

[Fawkesy]

Ohhh yay~

And set the guidelines, it'd be nice to know~

Guidelines are fine with me... But I might sound stupid when I say this.

I don't honestly know how to OTO the voicebank..... Hah.... But note that I started using UTAU in December, and 'finished' Yuki last week.... But if someone can help, but need the voicebank, her download has a password (it's "yukispass")... Here's the download:

And her wikia page is...

Oh, and may Yuki's class be Mage or something like that? :3

 

[ScandinavianSweetie]

Can my twins be in this together? (Inseperable twins here) XD

 

[MsStarryDreams]

Cool :D I can't wait to hear the guidelines! Also, do you think VCV would be okay? I'd love to try my hand at that!
Also, I have a really cool idea for a Gunslinger if that's okay!

 

[baye]

Okay, everyone. I'll sign up everyone for the classes they wanted first.

Twins? Well, maybe it could work. Their voices will have to go together very well, though!

Also, Yuki, you might need to look at some OTO tutorials in order to get the hang of fixing the voicebank. I can try to fix it once you've given it a shot.

Here are the Guidelines/Requirements:

VB Recording REQUIREMENTS
1. Record higher and/or lower tones for each syllable you make. I.e: “ka” “ka↑” “ka↓”. It depends on what voice range you are in and what your voicebank needs to sound good.
2. Hold each sample for AT LEAST 1.0 seconds.
3. Normalize all of your samples in audacity when finished.
4. Try not to get a lot of background noise in your recordings.
5. 4 breath sounds should be recorded: a short inhale/exhale, and a long inhale/exhale.
6. All voicebanks should be recorded in CV first. Then after the voicebank gets a favorable release and is recommended for VCV/CVC/CVVC, they will be recorded in that manner. I don’t want anyone doing all of that work for naught. Unless you want to go right ahead and do VCV. I won’t stop you, I just think CV is a bit easier.
7. Please record everything according to Japanese pronunciation rules, unless you are recording another language. This is IMPERATIVE.

VB Using REQUIREMENTS (Also for those who are reusing voices)
1. The UTAUloid needs a new design to fit the concept.
2. They must be OTO’d, or at least partially.
3. The new version of the bank must either be listed as an entirely new bank or an append.

Also, here are the new classes and their UTAUloid users:

Human/Hero:

Mage: Yuki Harazoki

Archer: Snowsongstress

Gunner: OPEN

Rogue: CandyMarbles

Summoner: Fuuko

Medic: Fawkesy

Cleric: TheLoonyLibrarian

Thieves ScandinavianSweetie

Knight MeiOkurin
___EXTRA____

Pirate

Ninja

Cowboy

Robot
___

If you have anymore class ideas, please tell me!

 

[Fawkesy]

I'd like to take up the Medic spot please~
I've always favored healer types <3

 

[MsStarryDreams]

:D Cool, yeah, after thinking about it, VC probably should come fist, plus, it gives me more time to practice VCV = w =b

 

[ScandinavianSweetie]

My twins voices go well together! XD
And can Bairetto be a mage and Murasaki be a fighter/warrior?

 

[baye]

I'd really appreciate it if they were in the same set of class--before we go and get too carried away and add more than one user/UTAUloid to each class, I'd like to fill in the existing ones first. Thank you!

 

[TheSnowSongstress]

i can do an archer~
