Tips on making my UTAUs sound better?

[Natsucchii]

I can't get a new mic just yet (i can soon hopefully) but clicks and other sounds are RUINING my voicebanks (according to @heynotloid , who is an absolute genius when it comes to stuff like this, and myself too (imo))

Post processing + re-recording glitched samples. Also, try to record in a space with very little echoes or random noises.
Heynotloid, not to offend anyone, has pretty high standards and I wouldn't say your voicebanks are ruined by clicks or self-noise unless it's causing FRQ issues/your VB is unintelligible. Sometimes clicks just sort of happen if you have a lower-end mic.
Funny story: vxPIERO had some really weird background noises in his samples and I found out that was because my desk is so low I was hitting the shelves with my knees on accident. Don't do that (lol), make sure your recording area is free of anything you can accidentally bump into.

Some of the sound might be because I kick my wall sometimes and my computer fan is kinda loud sometimes.
I might try using denoise and bad samples.

Don't denoise aggressively, it can hurt audio quality- have you tried EQ? Suzuki Hoshi's recordings are a bit unclear and using an EQ to boost the high frequencies could vastly improve the quality without purchasing a new mic.

Ah, so like a high-pass filter? Or just EQ in general? What EQ is best for higher frequencies in Audacity?

Any EQ works and they all do the same thing. Just drag the top frequencies up a little and lower the bottom ones.

I also just used Click Removal and am trying to amplify the samples a bit.

Tune the vocals. (I'M A AVERAGE VOCAL SYNTH TEACHER)

The click issue is caused by a bad microphone. Sometimes the "clicks" can actually be saliva sounds. I used to use RecStar, which generated clicks for some reason. Clicks are also generated if the program has lag when recording and freezes, causing audio malformations.

This user is asking about recording, not using.

I understand that, sometimes OREMO freezes up, but I used Audacity to try to make the sounds better.
