Weird popping noise?

[xzh3r]

I'm trying to make a voicebank but certain vowels make this really strange popping sound. Every other voicebank I have sounds completely normal, without the strange sound I'm experiencing. When loading it in Audacity, the waveform looks like this.

Any help? I'm extremely new to UTAU so any help is appreciated. Sorry if I'm dumb.

Use a pop filter, a sock can work, try to connect the mic correctly

I'm sampling from Friday Night Funkin songs, so the clips should work

do the clips have that popping noise prior to using them in utau? it seems like a recording issue. if the popping happens during a moment of silence, just use audacity to edit out the pop.

The clips never had that popping noise prior to putting them in UTAU. It doesn't even play the clip, it's just the popping noise. It's not all clips either, it's only certain clips. It can be E, I, O, whatever. I'll send a video of it in action.

Here it is. Notice how it takes a longer than usual time to make some of the noises, and others it's really fast? and the popping noise too.

I just watched it again and it sounds way different on Streamable. It's still a weird noise however.

You can oto (configure) your voice bank to work around the popping (depending on where the popping occurs).
Go to Tools(T) > Voice Bank Settings(S) while your voice bank is loaded to access its configuration settings.
Clicking "Launch Editor" will bring up the little window at the bottom where you can make adjustments using your mouse.

Closing the little window will set your adjustments, but to officially save them to the oto.ini file, you have to click "OK".
It will save the oto and close the configuration window.
(I say this because I tend to click the wrong button and lose hours of work; so painful!)
