I started re-recording my first UTAU (so much fail with her... sigh) Sim-plE's voicebank, and it turned out to be quieter than I wanted it to be. So, I dubbed it her "Soft" voicebank, and will re-record her Act II later on.

However, I'm having mixed feelings about the bank. It sounds pretty good, but I feel like there are some sounds where the consonants are too quiet. I feel like she's also really nasally. Any thoughts? Opinions? Do you personally like the voicebank?

What I like: She's nicely clear! She has a nice tone to her voice! Her pronunciation is nice and nothing seems to be really bad about it.

What I don't like: Well, it seems she's taking spaces with her notes sometimes, so I say you should revise the OTO a bit. She also seems muffled, I don't know if that's because of you mic quality or your choice of flag, regardless. When you're mixing the UTAUloid, I recommend that you deduct the frequencies around 400-600hz. This helps a lot with UTAU mixing and quality.

Overall: I really like the bank and it has a lot of potential. I'd defiantly use her! ~~I kinda wanna use her right now haha~~ I think that you could really expand by making her a bi-pitch bank as well. ~~I always push multipitches, because they are very nice.~~

Suggestions: Since she's a CV voice bank, I recommend that you put the overlap to 50 and preutterance to 100 on each note with a consonant (Like, ka, ta, shi, sha, ect.) and have the overlap on vowels to 70, and still having the preutterance to 100. Then, with the overall UST, just use 140 consonant velocity, and STP to 20. It's usually really great with CV utauloids (Pft, this is my oto method anyway.) But yeah! If you need any help with this bank I'd be happy to provide some!

Thank you both so much for the feedback!! I really appreciate it!!

Shea (if I may call you that), would you mind if I PM'd you some further questions I had? I'm still relatively new to UTAU, so I would appreciate getting whatever help I could get! (Especially since your post posed a lot of questions for me lol)

Okay, I updated the bank a bit and picked a better UST (though it's fairly short...)

Any opinions on this one? (also Shea would you mind sending me the PM you sent me again? >.< For some reason I never got...)

While it has improved, I suggest looking over the transitioning vowels such as a, i, u, e, and o. Make sure they cut off their beginnings and have them have more overlap, they should "merge" better.

Okay, thank you!! Yeah, I've noticed that the vowels are pretty quiet. I'll be sure to fix them.
