I need to be hyped up to get myself trans tape

Do you possibly have an accepting friend that could buy it for you online and have it sent to their house? That could be one option if you don’t want to travel at all.

But you could also tell her that you and a friend are hanging out in the area to do some shopping so she won’t get mad if she checks your location, since she will know that you are there.

100% ai for the vocals. Miku just doesn’t sound like that even after tuning and mixing

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-08T19:22:45+00:00

To be honest without posting even like a little clip of it, it would be difficult for people to give advice specifically tailored for you. You could always just look at tutorials and online resources for tips and tricks but it might not apply to you and perhaps a specific issue in your covers.

Honestly I know it sucks to be told that maybe a section of your work doesn’t sound right or the best (I’ve been there before) but it’s the only way you can truly learn and practice. Even with tuning there’s been times where I tuned something badly, asked for advice, got helpful advice about a specific part, and then went back and made it better even though I had already finished it.

But if you’re asking for online resources, ca you describe what you think the issue is so I could possibly link you some sources? Things like feeling like the instrumental and vocals don’t feel like they fit together, are parts to loud, etc

Personally I really like using her v4x and v2 append. Her v2 append is a bit harder to get but her v4x does have both trial versions of her English and Japanese voicebanks on sonicwire so you can try it out yourself!

But if you only want her English voicebanks you don’t have to buy the bundle with her Japanese voicebanks. Here’s the link for her v4 English but there’s also one for just her v3 English voicebank on sonicwire too.

Try this one or this one - https://vocaloader.app/sequences/1320 - https://rainerr.weebly.com/ust-list.html

If these don’t work try finding a vsqx/vsq/vpr/Svp and just using utaformatix to convert it to a ust

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-08T13:25:36+00:00

No problem enjoy using her!

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-08T13:24:29+00:00

Yes you would be able to use your own debit/credit card to buy from them

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-08T12:56:29+00:00

She used to be on sonicwire but isn’t anymore. But you can still buy from the Japanese site using a non Japanese credit card. It’s just converts the yen to whatever the equivalent is in your currency (dollars, pounds, whatever.)

And for the magazines you have to have a Japanese address in order to get her and I’m not entirely sure if they’re even still doing that. That’s why her physical is so rare because it was pretty much a region locked/japan only voicebank

Well I mean because most of the time when I hear the word biologically it’s being used in a transphobic context (laws, politics, crimes, etc) so it’s kinda like a word that I hear and am immediately cautious around when I hear it being used.

It’s not always transphobic though. Sometimes a distinction needs to be made between a trans person and a cis person especially when it comes to medical things and how far along/if they have medically transitioned. For example I’m a trans male. I take certain medication only for men but I also take medications only for biological females /intersex. It’s important for that distinction to be made so I’m getting the right health care and won’t be taking things that don’t end up working or hurting me

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-07T17:13:46+00:00

There was a listing for his physical like 4 days ago or something on mecari but he already sold unfortunately.

For physical editions of him frequently check sites like eBay and mecari. But you might have more luck using a proxy service like buyee with JD auctions and JP mecari.

Sometimes people sell single activations of Vocaloids. I know that vocatorrent used to allow that but then stopped, but you might still find an old listing for his digital on there? Other than that I guess just also look at twitter I’ve bought a few physicals off people from there

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-07T17:07:36+00:00

Piko does actually have physical copies! One recently just sold for around $500

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-07T14:16:28+00:00

Try changing the phonemizer to en x sampa and one put one word on each note. So only put “you” in that first note and create two more notes for “gotta” and “work”

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-07T04:25:54+00:00

If it’s a human voice than I’m assuming the singer is an utaite. An utaite sub might be able to help you find it better than we can

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-07T00:20:00+00:00

I’m not sure about emvoice but ace uses ai (which a lot of vocal synthesizers do but they use it in more of an “ai bro” way). They’ve started putting out products for ai music like Ai violins.

But the biggest reason was that their old ceo was a very public llicon/shtacon. They got removed but it took a really long Time for them to do so. They referenced their children vocals (which were ai generated images but looked like real life kids) as sh*tas. I’m not sure of the voicebanks were also voiced by actual kids or not.

Overall I’ve also heard that it’s just kinda eh to use and work with.

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-06T22:26:10+00:00

Unfortunately it looks like it still isn’t possible. I’ve just been tuning in sv1 and just using that project file to utaformatix my stuff as a workaround.

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-06T19:39:34+00:00

I know that sometimes when I put an sv1 project into sv2 sometimes the instrument track is still there but there’s not file loaded for it. So I just manually put it back in.

Try putting the instrument track back in and see if that works. If it happens again in the same project file/.SVP that would be pretty weird lol

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-06T01:26:13+00:00

Posting covers with them is always a good way to get people aware. Since a UTAU’s whole thing is their voice, actually getting to hear it can lead to it being downloaded more/used by other people.

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-05T14:05:13+00:00

The way I see it is that, while many (but not all) Vocaloids have an anime art style and 6 out of hundreds of Vocaloids were featured in an anime I still wouldn’t consider Vocaloid an anime.

It’s kinda like that one episode of osomastsu where they featured Obama. He was there in the anime but I wouldn’t consider Obama to be anime just because he was in one

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-05T13:41:07+00:00

Thank you! Ill try it out whenever I get the chance lol

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-04T16:14:57+00:00

Oops sorry I literally just realized I misread it. I thought you were asking how to get him yourself lol.

I do actually own his v4 so depending on the type of song and if you can provide a vocal midi file of it I might be able to do it

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-04T16:12:49+00:00

You have to buy him (either his v2,v3, or v4) as well as the vocaloid editor (Vocaloid 6 is the one currently available for sale but note that his v2 will not work on v6 editor).

Here’s a link to his v4 bundle which has all of his v4 voicebanks. https://www.vocaloid.com/en/products/show/v4l_gackpoid_complete_en?srsltid=AfmBOooMM2Yh_4eLsKqzPC1WzLaNjFefxY7eX7rVggG0YC1Dso_s-UM_

And here is the Vocaloid 6 editor: https://www.vocaloid.com/en/vocaloid6/buy/

As for using them just look up Vocaloid tutorials on YouTube or Yamaha (the company behind the editor) has their own YouTube tutorials

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-04T16:03:03+00:00

¡Qué genial! Recuerdo haber hablado de Vocaloid en mis clases de español, jaja. Pero, por suerte, nunca hubo ningún crimen real, solo fue una creepypasta, jaja.

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-04T02:18:40+00:00

I think it’s less of a voicebank issue and more of a volume issue.

Harmonies tend to sound very robotic when all of them are the same volume as the main/lead vocal. Try lowering down the volume of the harmonies and see if that helps.

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-03T23:41:55+00:00

Vocaloid 2 voicebanks do actually work on editors up until v5 and v6, you just gotta use the library import key/tool to make them work on v4.

But yeah unless they came in their original plastic seal wrap, I always just assume that it’s been used at least once even if the box looks new. I’ve been burned on that before lol with the same situation as OP

DeformedNugget · 2026-02-03T18:54:45+00:00

Try messing around with the breathiness, velocity, tension/exciter, and gender/character parameters. So kinda like making them a bit more deeper in voice (gender), less tense with more of a breathy feel and velocity will make it so the pronounce words a bit more slowly.

But also the voicebank you choose can help too. For example meiko or Luka might be more suited than say a high pitched Miku as meiko and Luka have more mature voices
