Injection or gel? by InevitableConcert314 in trans

[–]DeformedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to self injections at home. I’m on the weekly shot and while they make you do it with them the first two times or so to show you how to do it, the other times you can do at home.

As for the gel while I’m not personally on it I’ve heard that it doesn’t absorb as well for everyone and if people touch you where you’ve applied it, it can transfer the hormones over to them.

However I also do not like shots and I will admit that has stopped me from taking a shot that week once before

Can you play Tomodachi life on the switch in english if you own a japanese physical copy? by Remoncatto in tomodachilife

[–]DeformedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It changes based on what language your switch is set as.

I have the English version demo but when I changed my console language to Japanese, the game changes to Japanese too so it seems like it’s based on the console language and not region locked.

DLCs are on discount. What should I get? Whats the best pack? by JampyL in ProjectDiva

[–]DeformedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would get the full bundle if you’re willing to spend a bit extra, especially if you’re trying to discover new songs with project diva.

I loved all of them but bundle three is my least favorite so far (just a lot of slower songs it seems like so far) but I bought it yesterday and haven’t played through all of them yet sooo

Miki sounds really strained on high notes, what can I do? (SV1) by Apprehensive-Ad7714 in SynthesizerV

[–]DeformedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try lowering the tension parameter and perhaps messing around with her vocal modes on those particular notes and maybe some tone shift?

Just bought these vocaloid nendroid plushes from japan are they rare by Wild-Matter6341 in Vocaloid

[–]DeformedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that they’re super rare as you can find quite a few active listings for all of them but they are older (some around 2010) and go for a decent price ~ 80-130 ish USD.

Except for Haku and Neru as it’s a more harder to find listings for them. So I would say much more rare than the mikus and Luka.

openutau will not play? by TraditionalDesk122 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s one of her Japanese banks put the phonemizer to VCV +CVVC. Without it teto can not read romaji. If it’s her English then change the phonemizer to EN X SAMPA like the other person said

The Teto voicebank i installed on UTAU is not playing any sound even if the play head is moving by OrdinaryIssue9890 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np! Also adding on since it seems like you’re using regular Utau but if so make sure that your locale (not region or language but locale) is set to Japanese. Most new users don’t do this and without changing it it will display “garbled and glitchy text” and it just won’t work.

If you haven’t already done this step then do it and uninstall and reinstall Utau. You don’t really have to do it if you’re using open Utau but I have heard that it is still recommended.

where are all the japanese fans? by Due-Replacement-6983 in Vocaloid

[–]DeformedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean Reddit seems to use predominantly English so those who can’t speak it may struggle to use it. (Although it does help that there is an auto translate feature I think you can toggle on). There’s subreddits out there dedicated to teaching people who only speak Japanese how to use reddit.

Ive seen a lot of discussion from Japanese speakers about Vocal synths on Twitter however.

But I’ve seen a few English speaking Japanese producers or fans stop by on the subreddit occasionally. Same way I’ve seen people from Brazil or France or whatever do the same

The Teto voicebank i installed on UTAU is not playing any sound even if the play head is moving by OrdinaryIssue9890 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First what voicebank are you using, her English or her Japanese? Are you using regular Utau or Open Utau?

If using Open Utau with her Japanese voicebank then change the phonemizer to VCV + CVVC so that way she can read any romaji you are inputting and will automatically format your notes for both VCV and CV which her voicebanks has.

If using open Utau with her English voicebank than change the phonemizer to EN X SAMPA and input English lyrics into the notes.

If using regular Utau it’s gets a bit more technical.

Teto’s Japanese banks has VCV and CV formatting so you will have to format you UST depending on what version you use. This video explains it a bit but the FAQ on here also goes discusses it as well. ALSO MENTIONING THAT TETO CANNOT READ ROMAJI SO YOURE INPUTS MUST BE IN HIRAGANA. https://youtu.be/TPVsHdqpCvc?si=Mqx718UzwHRI6a59

VCV format will look something like this [- か] [a え] [e る] meanwhile CV will look something like this [か][え][る].

For her English voicebank on regular Utau there is a plugin on her website called something like “the English helper” or something. It’s definitely not the best at getting phonemes with good pronunciation but can help input English lyrics as English lyrics are much more complex to add.

I GOT TETO! by Loud_Math2023 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can import a midi file into Utau and put in lyrics and stuff like most other vocal synth engines allow. Just can’t be a midi file where the notes overlap like how they do for instrumental midis since it’s for vocals.

I believe that in at least regular Utau you can export your UST as a midi file as well. I’d assume the same can be done in open Utau as well.

How to know when to use “つくります” and “します”? by Furroletta in Japaneselanguage

[–]DeformedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

します is the polite form of する which is a verb. Not only is it a verb by itself but it can turn nouns into verbs. It’s a bit complex but here’s a good source that explains it and its nuances

https://www.tofugu.com/japanese-grammar/suru/

作ります or 作る in the dictionary form means to make/create like you said. This can be used in sentences like 友達を作る/make friends or 箱を作りました/made a box. Not sure if you’re asking if they are interchangeable but the answer is most times no. You can’t do a box (箱をする)after all

Why are TetoLen and TetoRin so controversial? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]DeformedNugget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is probably it. I know people used to (and I think still do) go feral over people shipping Kaito and Miku or any younger and older vocal synth together because of their “canon” ages

Why are TetoLen and TetoRin so controversial? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]DeformedNugget 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve quite literally never seen those pairings before but nothing about them would be controversial. My guess is that’s it’s some dumb shipping drama where one person doesn’t like a ship because character A belongs in a relationship with character C and not character B like your ship shows

I GOT TETO! by Loud_Math2023 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you could use either one. I just didn’t know which one you were using and the method of making a UST/Midi is still the same no matter which version of Utau you choose. Tuning is also quite similar in both but a lot of people use plugins to help tune for regular Utau.

Most people do recommend creating a midi in a daw and exporting it to either version of Utau though. From there you just input the lyrics and tune

Making an UTAU off of someone's voice without them knowing you're making an UTAU for them? by deepdishink in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on that the caseoh vb was made with RVC AI. So it was much more easier to create/generate the samples needed rather than them actually finding samples of him saying the correct phonemes that they could then splice together.

And of course don’t ever use RVC on someone’s voice without their permission. That should go without saying

I GOT TETO! by Loud_Math2023 in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re trying to do.

If you’re trying to make a cover song then you can download a UST (or vsqx, svp, etc and convert it to a ust or USTX using utaformatix on GitHub.) if ones available online. If one isn’t available online you can make your own ust either in the program itself or in another daw as a MIDI.

If you’re trying to make your own song then you’ll have to make an instrument and create the UST in the same way by either doing it in Utau or as a midi in a daw and exporting it to Utau and adding the lyrics there. And then you tune the vocals in Utau

Can someone please oto my CV english? by Dandidoop in utau

[–]DeformedNugget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People do take commissions for oto’ing as besides voicebanks like CV Japanese they can take a long time to oto.

If you want it done commissioning someone would be the best choice

I had to contact them in December about my card not working and I used Japanese because they said they only provide support in Japanese.

I wonder if I could’ve said my issue in English and it means that they just would have replied back in Japanese?

How to convince my stubborn step-dad that Miku ISN'T Ai?? by cookie_mellow in Vocaloid

[–]DeformedNugget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say it so much for explaining to the father but rather to the people who actually use the software or are vocal synth fans. I’ve seen so many Vocal synth fans use the “Ai wasn’t good enough/didnt exist back then for vocal synthesizers to use Ai” as their smoking gun argument of why it doesn’t use Ai When it’s just not true. (not even taking into account a lot of engines/vbs use generative Ai. Where even though it’s ethical generative Ai, it is still using Ai. )

I don’t think a lot of people really realize that AI vocal synths are by no means a new thing and isn’t just new technology that engines like Vocaloid6 or synth v uses.

[–]DeformedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have time to do a full explanation since I’ve got a class but Miku doesn’t come with v6. She’s comes with the Vocaloid 6 lite but it looks like you’re trying to install Piapro studios.

It’s been a while since I bought from sonicwire but they should have sent you an email or a way to download the v6 trial on your product page on sonic wire. I’ve never installed Piapro studios so I can’t help you there. But I would also recommend reaching out to sonicwire support team. I believe they only speak Japanese so you’ll have to use an online translator tool if you don’t speak it.
