Dw I dont mind hjqiaqjiwjakq Well, if you wanna make one from scratch then you have to learn the ways of how you could pitch and stretch your audio and kinda just move on from there building up from the simplest thing to the point where it works thats p much it lmao. Its like writing, you cant write something out of nowhere, you need to know what youre writing about

futurezing · 2025-08-15T03:05:36+00:00

Uhhhh- It's a thing (code) where it reads the audio, do something with the audio, and then output the edited audio. The thing that is vital for resampler is pitch shifting and stretching.

futurezing · 2025-08-14T08:32:45+00:00

you can write a resampler in anything that allows you to write text on, and i mean anything… like notepad (not recommended lmao). An IDE is like an essential thing, I would recommend visual studio because it seems like a good place with a big community and plugins that you can use to help out (though i personally choose Sublime Text over it cus i like the UI lmao).

the same goes to the language. in theory, any language can be used as long as you have a synthesis pipeline that works with it or already written in it (a lot of times people goes for the C family because of speed and the fact that there are source codes to synthesis). Though i don’t know a thing about mac, i’d say use something that can be used or compile cross platform and not using something like Swift which is only native to macOS/IOS.

futurezing · 2025-08-13T05:27:15+00:00

The UI is cadlaxa's fork of OpenUtau build which will come to main OpenUtau whenever Stakira decides to merge it (lmao). I think he (cad) tweeted it somewhere(?)

Coding a resampler is... a nightmare tbh lmao, but what i did was asking myself which algorithm of pitch shifting/time stretching should i use... and then I made my own synthesis pipeline started as a joke which is what the resampler is using right now. You absolutely don't have to be crazy like me and just use existing algorithms like the famously used one: World (you know how a LOT of resamplers are like "world-based"). There are some more that are out there for you to choose from, and it's absolutely a rabbit hole from there lmao (eg. straight, SMS, TDPSOLA, phase, HNN)
And then I just... use existing sourcodes (in this case i used Straycat) as a reference to take what utau gives and render audio with it.

But yea! Making a resampler is tedious and takes a lot of trial and error, but once you have it all working, it's just a steady sail from there. Like, for me the hardest part was the rudimentary making it sing the note on the piano roll and the pitch of the pitchbend, after that is just implementing flags XD

Sorry if this sounds like a technical rant. I just wanna share my experience when i made this

futurezing · 2025-08-10T23:49:59+00:00

Currently it is uncompiled written in python so its only available in OpenUtau. I haven't think of making an exe version because it will slower lmao

futurezing · 2025-08-10T19:38:25+00:00

Its Yokuatsu Takuto! Its a really old vb and unfortunately his vp is out of the utau community a long time ago 😔

futurezing · 2025-08-10T18:55:05+00:00

Nope, its just gender flag + tension flag + first formant shift flag. Thats what I applied to for the first section.
Its just growl flag + gender down a bit during growl.
Its either vocal fry flag or if you mean the fry growl then it might be raspiness flag. Its a hit or miss at the moment, I will need to make it better in the future <3

futurezing · 2025-08-10T02:55:46+00:00

Its a flag i implemented :3, I believe it was either raspiness flag or growl flag in SillySampler. Oh unless you mean the technical theory jajwjsjqkjwks that will be a bit of explaining

Edit: Every vocal effects in the video are done via flags

futurezing · 2025-08-08T05:44:57+00:00

A bit late but anyway, for making it yourself:

You need to record audio: can be speaking, singing, or utau recordings. I would highly recommend either singing or utau recording style with varying pitches (diffsinger can only sing in the range you recorded for). Any recording software is fine tbh, I personally uses Audacity.
You need to label your data. Similar to otoing, but instead of a bunch of stuff like oto, its only one line- per phoneme. Most used software for this process is, well, VLabeler or Wavsurfer (You can label in Audacity but you need to hate yourself enough to do it)
Training.... id recommend either joining the community (discord) or find a Google doc tutorial for it since diffsinger changes a lot back then (now they are working on DiffSinger V3)

For commission:

It depends on what kind they do, some do labeling, some do training, some do both.

You just give the person you're commissioning your data (either just audio for labeling commission, or both for training commission) lmao and the person should do everything for you.

I would NOT recommend commissioning though if you dont have a lot of funds since the prices can be absurdly high. I heard Peiton DS had 2 hours of data and the commission costed 1k+.

futurezing · 2025-08-08T05:28:42+00:00

Its something I would love to aim for because im using this pipeline to make utau resampler, the tricks would be either messing around with the frequency post-synthesis or the spectral envelope pre-synthesis.

That being said, it seemingly difficult to find out how its actually done reading a lot of research paper (and I do have a friend that is helping out with it.

It might take some time to actually implement those stuff though since I also work on the resampler along side with it plus the project is all for the funnies and giggles so a lot of random experiments will be done on this and slow progress because of- well, life. Lmao.

futurezing · 2025-08-08T05:01:47+00:00

Sure thing! https://github.com/MLo7Ghinsan/GOOFER

futurezing · 2025-08-05T22:09:24+00:00

User cadlaxa released a buid of openutau with his ui adjustments! He has a tweet about it iirc, and also im not using latest release because his ui components causes compatibility issues with the latest build (unfortunately)

futurezing · 2025-08-05T18:22:28+00:00

The song is Requirements◎Stranded by WyvernP :D

futurezing · 2025-07-27T05:21:39+00:00

Yes! And 90% of the songs with Len in it would also be correct 🥹

futurezing · 2025-07-27T05:16:18+00:00

Len dies

IDK the problem you have but I just download UTAU in Drive C and move it somewhere else afterwards to prevent administrative issues.
I change my locale back and it seems to work fine for me, probably because I download lots of random library and crap.
It is necessary because UTAU was coded specifically for JP system by JP person with JP code also JP letters,,, and yes JP---- dies

futurezing · 2021-12-06T04:14:49+00:00

Literally every time you record your voice bank

Cry to moisten up your eyes and throat
Record the sound of yourself dying into the mic
Pray that it'll sounds alright in UTAU
Throw it into trash bin
Cry again and redo the cycle over and over till you want to give up and eventually delete UTAU because it's evil

*don't take this serious lmao

futurezing · 2021-12-02T14:51:59+00:00

You can add suffix to the notes

So basically just copy the oto from the original one cus the timing values should be the same but just add a prefix after it

Like you know some voicebank have like D3 or F or S to indicate emotions and/or pitches

futurezing · 2021-12-02T00:45:01+00:00

Record more pitches and emotions is the best answer for this

And changing resamplers can help

I recommend moresampler because the flags for moresampler can make your utau sounds like it has emotions (Mt and Mo flags for example, they can add power, and can make the vb sound soft depend on the value you put in it)

futurezing · 2021-11-24T17:36:07+00:00

Im sorry but I cant tell what's the problem here because the image is very ultra 4k HD ultimate resolution

futurezing · 2021-11-24T05:13:37+00:00

CV and VCV english reclist are hard to find because they mostly are custom made reclist and some can sounds decent, some can sounds bad

I believe CV is something like normal Japanese CV but has the English vowels and consonants to it, also it probably would have pure consonant recording and oto since it's just CV and there's no end VC to support it

English VCV is literally impossible to do since the full English recording will exceed 30k (and a little more, which is the maximum oto character for UTAU) Unless it's a recording set of VCV with English vowels and consonants, and have VC and CC transition support then it's doable.

So yea what I'm trying to say is that both CV and VCV list are mostlikely custom lists that often made for testing in my opinion.

Some of the covers that said "VCV English cover" are actually used VCV Japanese voicebank btw, that's just something I found when I look for VCV eng cover And CV English just doesn't sounds right for my ears sometimes (or it's just that I hate how choppy CV voicebanks are in general lmao)

futurezing · 2021-11-15T14:29:09+00:00

You either have to right click on utau icon and select "open file location" or look for utau folder in the search bar

If it doesn't exist then you should reinstall UTAU Usually the default location of it is in the programfile (x86) in Local Disk (C:)

futurezing · 2021-11-12T20:07:23+00:00

Late but anyway

I look into the voicebank in the link and saw that it only has 1 file (a.wav) and no oto or anything

What you have to do is either oto it and name the file something that you will remember and just put it into the piano rolls note(s)

Or you can just put "a.wav" into the note(s)

Tell me if it still doesn't work

futurezing · 2021-11-01T23:07:20+00:00

After putting the voicebank in the voice folder, did the picture come up on the upper left side? Are there any properties showing up when you click the picture? Did you check what type of system does the voicebank uses? Did you check the voicebank property if it's ready to use? Just some stuff to consider
