kiki I need help. how do you do your vocaloid shit
Uhhhh so I got the program (vocaloid 4) and then I got some voicebanks (like miku) and then I found a vsqx (vocal sequence) file. It’s not free so I recommend starting with OpenUtau
OpenUtau was pretty hard for me personally since there was a bunch of software (like a C++ reader) that wasn’t installed and figuring out voicebank installation, but it was probably the first major program I learned to install on windows 10 when I got my computer 2 years ago.
The basics are go to openutau’s website (https://www.openutau.com), download the appropriate version, but the only issue is that the program isn’t pre-installed with voices. You can look up “utau voicebanks” on Google and download the zip files, and I personally recommend Studio Ogien’s voicebanks (https://studio-ogien.com) since they are high quality and feature English speaking voices for Kasai, Axis (my favorite) and Honos. The installation is pretty specific but the good thing is there’s lots of tutorials on Reddit and YouTube.
I won’t go too much into detail on resamplers and wavtools, but DO NOT use WORLDLINE-R. Download moresampler instead and follow the instructions the manual recommends :]
After that’s set up, you double click on the track bar and you can either manually put in notes and lyrics or drop in a midi/ust/ustx file.
Here are the main file types you’ll see online if you find files for making covers:
UST: compatible with OpenUtau, one single track
USTx: OpenUtau’s default file, has multiple tracks
VSQ/VSQx/VPR: Not compatible. These files are made for various versions of vocaloid
SVP: Most likely not compatible. These files are for SynthV Studio, which is another program I recorded since it’s more intuitive and has more realistic voices, plus an archived free version that has limited features
Or just disregard everything I just said and learn vocoding… there’s that too
