[@corruptedteka]

I made Defoko say "takoyaki" and I feel like a parent who just heard their child's first word- So awe-inspiring.

[@starlitsentiment]

ME TOO! i made defoko say that (just to test it) and it felt like that too-

[@ayamothy4628]

That. Is. ADORABLE

[@starlitsentiment]

Also a bonus: instead of having the utau application on my homescreen, i had the file that i saved that made defoko say “ta-ko-ya-ki” in the app. I feel so dumb now T_T

[@lapisdei797]

today i made her say tanoshi ♥️

[@sweetcorpse]

i made her say her own name and i felt so proud

[@weldchickn2270]

ATTENTION: If you type in Japanese and your Utauloid is still silent, uninstall and reinstall the program. I had to do this, so I just wanted to help. I probably made an error during installation.

[@littlecherryartist]

What if another Utau makes sounds and it's just that one utua? Defoko works for but Teto's Japanese doesn't

[@whiteegretorchids8234]

when i type in japanese it puts question marks

[@jaslynn3374]

Hey, I have the same problem and I rlly dont know how to fix it :/

[@jaslynn3374]

You have to set local to japanese. Then it should work.

[@siriusPuwu]

@@jaslynn3374 how do you do that? my computer is on japanese but the program has weird symbols instead of words

[@SilverDemon456]

For those having a problem with no sound, make sure you change the region to japan before installing. I changed it after I installed it, had no sound, and when I uninstalled and reinstalled the program it worked perfectly. Also, when installing, I chose the option that was already checked (the one with the (m) at the end, instead of (e)). Don't know what the difference is since I can't speak Japanese, but there you go.

[@mycommentisgonnaruinyourday122]

It won't always work. Some people download english utauloids like teto.

[@tibethatguy]

(M) is for only the user the computer's logged in on. (E) is for all users.

[@olivialanc9035]

how do you change the region?

[@tibethatguy]

@@olivialanc9035 On Windows 10, go to the Configuration Panel, then Clock and Region (or however the option is called with a globe and a clock icon), then the option inside that with a globe and clock as icon. Then, go to the administrative panel, click the second option. Then, change the region in the dropdown box to Japanese (Japan).

[@morelikecarter]

this is probably a silly question, but how did you open the program? i extracted the zip file and got the .exe installer, but after i click through everything nothing else really happens

[@flan.insana]

@@morelikecarter I'm really late but same, did you solve it?

[@morelikecarter]

@@flan.insana i was able to open it somehow, but it was a while ago. try clicking different things?

[@flan.insana]

@@morelikecarter nevermind I figured it out, I just searched it on the windows searching bar

[@slumchy]

@@flan.insana im gonna leave this here if anyone has the same issue; after unzipping the .exe, what you launch is the installer. the installer will ask you where to download the program (default being somewhere in program files but i heard thats kinda buggy) and after you close the installer, you have to go find the actual program where you chose. the installer should also have made a shortcut on your desktop with the file name " UTAU - 歌声合成ツール "

[@papayagurl9275]

For those of you curious about what the MIDI buttons do: MIDI is when you convert notes played on an electric instrument to notes in a computer program. For example, if I plugged my keyboard into my computer and then pushed one of the buttons (I haven’t tried it yet so idk which ones work, I’ll update this comment when I figure it out) then the notes that I play on my keyboard should pop up on my screen in the order and for as long as they are played. So if I play a C#4 for 2 beats on my keyboard, the UTAU will sing a C#4 for 2 beats. Again, I’ll update this comment once I try it for myself. Sorry if my explanation makes no sense lol

You can get romaji converters or romaji encoded voicebanks so it'll sing with English characters. And the midi function allows you to import a midi file, but I guess that's pretty obvious.

[@hazq3282]

It doesnt import a midi file it connects to a midi keyboard so you can put in notes easier. I think you can insert midi files in one of the tabs in the top left. Although pls correct me if im wrong lel

I wanna know if that works. Cuz then, I think recording the over 100 Japanese characters are pointless if that’s the case.

[@Yuunarii]

You can, but it's not efficient. By recording syllables, you can literally make your UTAU say any word in Japanese. While if you were to record words, there'd be thousands and thousands of things to record.

[@sodaleche]

Hello! ^u^ Your tutorials have been so helpful! Thank you so much~! I need a bit of help.

I even tried right clicking over the note and replacing it manually, but there's no change. Do you have any idea how to fix this? Edit: After fiddling around with it, I noticed that only romaji is inserted but not hiragana. I'm not entirely sure why though. Heeeelp ;-;

[@Yuunarii]

I'm glad to hear that ^^ Hmm.. Well.. For hiragana, if you're typing the lyrics right into UTAU, using your japanese keyboard, you'll have to hit enter 2 times before it's inserted into the note.. Maybe that could be it ^^;

[@oyasumioyasumi788]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have some questions though. 1)When I write syllables like "th", "sh", "ch" (and so on), my UTAU can't pronounce them, instead it just stays silent (I'm using Teto's English voicebank, so i think it's not because the programm can't read roman alphabet.) I understand that these syllables are complicated and they should be replaced with something, but can we get the program to pronounce them? 2)when I want programm to say "r", It automatically translates this "r" as "rest", and does not pronounce the desired sound. How to fix it? I would be very grateful if someone would answer me. (Just in case sorry for my poor English.)

Reinstall it

[@navylavender3956]

Hello, I need help when installing. So after i installed it and all, i didn't find the program itself. i tried searching in ''this PC'' and i still couldn't find it, and i searched for it from the Windows Start, still nothing. i uninstalled and reinstalled, still didn't find it. I previously installed it (but it was gibberish and on another computer) and found it on the desktop. Now i don't. My previous computer is Windows 10. the one that i'm currently using, and i didn't find the UTAU software on it, is Windows 8.1

[@alisharafa6764]

hi Yuunari, I have a problem when I download the utau. When create the new notes, it would be seen like lines are connected each others and can be fully played. But my utau cannot do that. I make some notes but seen like blocks and not connected. So when I played, just only one note that can be played. Is there something wrong with the program and what supposed to do to fix this problem? Thank you. edit: now seen like lines and can be play all, but still not connected each other. I wonder why..

[@angieartistic3605]

My letter M doesn´t work and my notes move differently. As well, when I try to play the notes it only plays one Can someone please help?

[@TheKashiraderKashiraHanazumu1]

Just wanna say Mode 2 is useful for tuning and mode 1 is useful when you're only editing notes/note label like from a くto く etc. right? (Just wanna confirm.

[@Yuunarii]

Uhm... I thought mode 1 was only useful if you want to covert your UST to a VSQ/VSQx ^^; But aside from that, I never use mode 1 :0 Editing note labels can also be done in mode 2 ^^ I'm guessing you want to convert a VCV UST to a CV UST :0 I go over all that stuff in tutorial 3 ^v^

[@TheKashiraderKashiraHanazumu1]

+Yuunarii that's very true! :)

[@TheKashiraderKashiraHanazumu1]

***** also when I'm editing note labels on a Multipitch voicbank I use mode 1 to avoid clicking on the pitchbends. :)

[@btsramen]

IF UR NOTES ARENT CONNECTED THIS IS MY SOLUTION u see the mode2 at the top? when i got it, the word trace and render wasnt there. so, press on mode2. it will appear. and ur notes will be connected!!

[@riyumuu]

I can't get the plug-ins for making my romaji into Japanese... I should have downloaded everything... someone help?

[@godzilla9540]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I KNOW THIS VIDEO IS 8 YEARS OLD BUT STILL! IT HELPED SO MUCH

[@BattosaiKen24]

Hey! Just trying to get UTAU now and found these videos, so if I get other voicebanks I can make them actually sing in English? I'm not fluent in Japanese, even though I'm trying to learn, so the default only singing in Japanese is annoying

[@soph5536]

I am pretty sure UTAU's have English and Japanese singing voices, you can try downloading the english voice and see if your UTAU will sing in english :)

[@HelloStreetCatReposts]

Yup! Of course, some UTAUs don’t have eng vbs but some do. You can also use the Japanese syllables to make English words (for example, if you wanted defoko to say “hi, I’m defoko” you’d type “はい-あいむ-でふぉこ(hai-aimu-defoko)”
