some notes are static-y

[arik10125]

I'm very new to this. The forum & UTAU. All i've done is install oremo, install UTAU, and make a (few) CV voicebank(s).

My first vb didn't sing any syllables, and everything sounded like harsh TV static. My second vb had the same issue, but I could hear "wa" in some notes.

I've heard that it's not good to record using a built-in mic, which is what I was doing. I got a USB mic that's outside my laptop, and made a new vb. About 25% of the notes sung are the actual syllables, ~25% are static-y but you can hear the syllables (they're very quiet), and the other 50% sounds like a mix of TV static and running water (and they're not as harsh as the first vb).

I have ruled out that it's not the ust I'm using, or the program, as I ran through the ust with the default vb and it sounded fine.

I don't have, nor really understand, how to use other audio programs, such as audacity. I don't know why some of the syllables, like "da" are static but other syllables like "ki" and "mo" I can hear. Help!

I know nothing about oto-ing, but something going this wrong, maybe even I can smell what's wrong.
Unless someone else who actually knows their stuff appears, could you pack up the VB and let me smell it (look at it)?

Hello! Do you know what resampler you're using?

No, not really. I didn't use a resampler.

I thought i'd be able to upload the vb onto here, but it says it's too large.

>didn't use a resampler
what
UTAU would most likely refuse to do anything without a resampler being used, if you're testing out your voicebank. In fact, as an experiment, I even tried to have UTAU run a different EXE, but it would just launch that EXE and nothing would happen.
(This is REALLY why people need to contribute to LearnUTAU, so people can get a grip)
In short-
A resampler is what UTAU is using when trying to render your data into a file. A resamplers job is to take the samples, usually with their specific files, take the note data you put in, and then work out a bunch of stuff to create the sound. I assume you're just using the default resampler in this case, given your demonstrated lack of knowledge.
>Sounds like it lacks an oto.ini file.
thx hulder would you like to contribute to LearnUTAU your knowledge will be very much appreciated

Deleted my prevous post as I just saw that you've uploaded the voicelibrary and didnt wana make hasty conclusions.
After looking at the voicebank it definetively lacks an oto.ini. file. So whats happening is that as UTAU plays the note it starts at the begingin of the wavefile, where theres silence, and it gets amplified by the program resulting in static noise.
There are many tutorials one can search up on how to configure an oto.ini file for CV voicebanks. So I suggest looking there or finding someone who wil configure it for you.

I see. I'll look up how to configure an oto.ini file for it then.

Someone's doing free oto'ing somewhere here I believe, I can tag you in/link the post if you'd like.

Can you?

Yeah ofc! Let me grab it rq
Edit: found it. he's vv got at oto'ing so maybe he'll be able to fix your problem and get you a polished voicebank at the same time <3
