pandemia: Hii! I've been lurking on UTAU-related forums for years but haven't had the habit of registering accounts until lately. Nice to meet you!

I saw a similar thread on the UtaForum and thought I should probably share it here since I liked it.
So, if you have a story about recording, UST making, or anything silly you've done or has happened involving UTAU, Feel free to share!
So, I'll start with one of mine:
One time I was testing out one of my male UTAUs and chose him to sing Gumi's part in Matryoshka, assuming it'd be in his vocal range. I walked out of the room since it took a little while to render. When I came back, all I heard was him yelping "one, two, three, four" then get into the rest of it, continually yelping all the words like a dog. To this day, I do not regret this decision whatsoever (and I'm pretty sure it's still on SoundCloud, too XD).
oh, oh. I have a funny one. I was otoing my VCV bank and double click on the alias.
And it erased all the presets.
And I had to oto and rename all 400 samples again.
. . . .

Another one is that my friend was recording her UTAU last year and was doing her "A" over and over again. Her roommate walked by and heard her, barged in and said: "Emily, I thought we agreed we wouldn't do that in this apartment!"
Here's another: Once my sister and I were recording and I was helping her with the pronunciations. When we got to "wa, wi, we, wo", she started giggling hysterically and we ended up recording "wumbo" on accident. It's still in the bank, if I remember correctly
I have a friend who made an utau and instead of a regular breath sound, she just recorded herself eating a chip
Omg. That reminds me of this one time I was recording I think it was bo or ba, but my leg was like REALLY itchy so my mic picked up me scratching it. I ended up using it as a breath sample in a joke bank and honestly do not regret it one bit

FaultyWiring and I did something similar - when we were recording their english bank we were recording "klQ" (pronounced cloy) and instead of just saying cloy, they said cloyster by accident because it came to their head! xD I think we have it in the bank still. It's a very beautiful and quality recording.
- Realizing that the cursed "M" at the bottom right corner is actually a thing - Using the N flag. Squeaky squeak. You have your own chipmunk. - Hand converting a Cyber Thunder Cider UST from hiragana to romaji, and inputting the wrong lyrics. "zutto kakushi toosenai nara, katto shometsu-"
Okay, so I tried out Cadencii (finally!) and decided to make a cover with it. I import ze MIDI, insert some lyrics, add parameters and play the first bit using WALTTbitter.
Little did I know, the MIDI was in the fifth octave (C5, D5 etc).
Yeah.
After trying it again in UTAU (the little I did in Cadencii wasn't worth saving), guess what? I did it again.
When I first recorded Denzu I had no idea how to pronounce the words for the bank when I played the song weekender girl Denzu had trouble saying girl she would end up saying weekender grill!!!
oh and there was the time I used an cvvc ust by accident and all Denzu could sing was hotdog or at least it sounded like hotdog it was something like watashi hotdog every other line
