My Alias wont work.

[Hayley-Wilson]

I already know that when you record the samples, it's best to put in an Alias, so the UTAU can sing in both Romaji and Hiragana. However, my Hiragana Alias wont work. The romaji works perfectly fine (which is what the samples are saved as).
Help?

Update: For clarification, I'm using windows 7 and am pretty much brand new to UTAU.

Are you using applocale?

 

[Hayley-Wilson]

applocale..?

 

[amaterasu miya]

I take that as a no (if you were using applocale then I would understand why it wouldn't be working)
Are you using a VCV UST?

 

[Hayley-Wilson]

I'm afraid I don't fully understand the whole VCV, CVVC stuff..
What I'm doing is recording the japanese sounds such as a, i, u, e, o, ka, ki, ku etc.. then using them in UTAU.
However, when I paste in the hiragana character into the Alias box, it wont recognise it on the UST.
It'll happy play "a i u e o" but not "あ い う え お"

I only really started using UTAU a few weeks or so ago...

Have you tried typing the hiragana into the alias box instead of pasting it?

 

[Hayley-Wilson]

My laptop refuses to let me.. I can set it to the japanese locale, but it wont type the hiragana..
(that or I'm doing it wrong..)

 

[amaterasu miya]

To type the hiragana, just look at the bottom right hand corner of your screen, other should be 'EN'
Click it, then go to 'Japanese' then (still in the bottom right hand corner of your screen) there should be an 'A'
Click it
Then click hiragana.
Then type what you want and hit 'enter' on your keyboard
That's how to type in hiragana. (If you use Japanese locale)

 

[Hayley-Wilson]

Nope.. didn't work. It let me type it.. but it still wont play it..

Your UTAU program may be corrupted

 

[Hayley-Wilson]

Just my luck really.
Although, it will play Hiragana if I save the file as it.. so I may just make the voicebank twice with slightly different names.

 

[amaterasu miya]

Good idea.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be of any help
