[Class Project] How to Make an UTAU Cover (Using OpenUTAU)

[@teran89331]

What class was this for!? The mental image of a teacher grading this (with the paimon "Hehe, Te nandayo!?" exploding & all) is hilarious! Hope you got a good grade on this (also thanks so much for the tutorial!)

[@AlicePhantomhive]

This was for my Commercial/Digital Arts class! I don't think my teacher was thrilled about my topic of choice but it was what I felt comfortable with. Thank you for enjoying this silly little thing 😂

[@teran89331]

I see! A project like this makes a lot more sense for that kind of class in mind, lol. Thank you very much for the response! @@AlicePhantomhive

I think in the first step we can just use any DAW and create MIDI item, then we just need a synthesizer plugin, and then export midi item as midi file In my case, it will be ReaSynth plugin which is pre-installed in REAPER DAW Thank you for the tutorial i really need it

[@AlicePhantomhive]

In reality, yeah any DAW would work but this is something you can access without downloading any complicated software to your computers. This tutorial in truth is basically the same for any vocal synth program but I chose OpenUTAU since it was the only one I can have access to everywhere and I chose OS as my DAW because it's probably the only one I know of lol (and its easy access online with cloud saving) As far as plug-ins go, I wanted to avoid that topic because it's a bit advanced for some music creators. I just wanted to make something that was simple and easy to understand by people who are just getting into the vocal synth community. I hope this makes some sense and I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial 👍🏻

This is the most helpful video i found, thank you so much

Tysm This is helpful!!! I’ll try making a cover later 🥲😤🔥❤

1:38 protip if you're using openutau and you need to make a japanese voice sing in english there's a tab under the phenomizers that is EN -> JA it doesn't work perfectly, but just type in the word into the note and boom

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Thank you for this info. I knew it existed but I didn't want to get into in-depth things with this video cause I wanted to make it as easy as possible

[@whae-t]

@@AlicePhantomhive just go to JA then JA cvvc & vcv it does the same thing but auto configures it to be vcv if the vb is vcv

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Thank you, again I'm well aware of this already 😅

[@avi_mation]

All this time I've been typing in Japanese syllables to make english

this is art bestie

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Thank you bestieeeee

[@li_03]

ive been trying to figure out why mine wont sing for ages pls what do you mean by "something added to the end of it" ? 😭 at 5:06

[@AlicePhantomhive]

So for example, if I were to input the kana for "zu" (ず) using Ruko, it won't recognize it. Usually when you go to click on the note [and it gives that drop down menu] I always choose the one underneath the original kana (in this case the one under ず)

[@li_03]

@@AlicePhantomhive ahhhh ok! thx!

[@ms1-Alex]

Is openUtau suitable for covering ADO songs? Like an Italian version of Ussewa?

[@AlicePhantomhive]

There is a way to change the phonemizer to Italian, yes. There are three different ones phonemizers to choose from. Good luck!!

Hey salut ! Dis, dans ta mania, tu as des chibis mignons sous formes de stickers, tu saurais retrouver leurs sources s'il te plait ? Aussi le tutoriel m'a donné envie de créer mes propres sons Vocaloid grâce à OpenUTAU. Merci à toi !

[@fox3000foxy]

Aussi, belle utilisation de VoiceVox pour la seconde partie de la vidéo.

Bonjour! Les tampons proviennent du jeu "Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage". Un générateur de tampons bien connu est st.ayaka.one/. J'espère que cela vous aidera!

[@sparkyndoggo7937]

I've been trying to figure out how to get the vocal track to sound right but I can't figure it out (everything else in the video is useful though)

[@AlicePhantomhive]

it takes time and a little extra manipulation with it but i believe in you

[@costcokaho]

can we import usts into open utau or is that only for the original utau

[@AlicePhantomhive]

@@costcokaho you can port ust's into openutau. You can also import Midi and apparently vsq for some odd reason-

[@kanadeyosaki7632]

My open Utau doesn’t even look like this… guess I’m not good enough.

[@AlicePhantomhive]

To get dark mode, go to tools > preferences. Under appearance, you can change it to the dark theme. Actually, OpenUTAU released an update recently that can let you change the track color too and I think it's pretty cool!

[@kanadeyosaki7632]

@@AlicePhantomhive Oh! I’ll try this! Thank you!

[@niasoulheart2917]

@@AlicePhantomhiveI tried that to, and I can export audio,, but I can’t make the Utau/ Sukone Tei make her own sound and tune her.. my lay out still doesn’t look like that with all the sounds and pink lay out on the side.. it looks like the one I have in my short.😅 Did you use some sort of mod or something..? If you don’t mind me asking!

[@kanadeyosaki7632]

@@AlicePhantomhive yeah! But but how with all the notes like that? Mind only lets me export audio..

[@AlicePhantomhive]

what do you mean? im a bit confused?

[@nuzhdatsya]

wait i don’t understand step 1 😭😭

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Ok so step one is prepping the file. By prepping the file you need to use a DAW. I'm using onlinesequencer.net with an account since it's a free program. At the bottom of the page there is an option to port an audio track (in this case the audio track being the original song w the lyrics) so for whatever song you're making a cover for, you would need to change the bpm. once you change the bpm, you can choose from the instrument list (I default mine for electric piano) and then compose the vocal track by listening to the original while trying to match it to the piano roll in whatever DAW you're using. If you're still confused, feel free to shoot me an email or dm one of my socials

[@rurokuP]

online sequqncer wont let me play all of the track and its so annoying

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Yeah it's a bit annoying but put a note further down the editor and it should solve that problem 👍🏻

[@rurokuP]

@@AlicePhantomhive i will try thank you🙏🙏🙏

[@AlicePhantomhive]

Ofc! Lemme know if you have any other questions and I'll try to answer them 👍🏻

[@MAXRAY-bw9kv]

what is yiour tts Japanese softeare?

[@AlicePhantomhive]

It's the program I made the tutorial on, OpenUTAU. Please see the description for more information on the program.

[@MAXRAY-bw9kv]

@@AlicePhantomhive thanks can you tell me the vb for that Japanese tts ?

[@AlicePhantomhive]

The voicebank I used was Sekka Yufu. I don't recommend using her, however another voicebank that sounds similar to her is Sukone Tei.
