Hi, I'm syntheticWords and I'm new to UTAU. I found it on YouTube while looking up Vocaloid stuff, and I sorta dove right in. I downloaded UTAU and the English Czloid voice library, and a red haired girl named Teto.

I bought a blue yeti just for the purpose of making UTAUs. But I don't know where to start. Could anyone give suggestions? Thank you

CV stands for consonant-vowel, and it indicates how the voicebank is recorded. c:

A casual CV sound would be something like ka, ki, ku, ke, ko, and so on. It is the most common way to record an Japanese UTAUloid. A CV reclist (a list of sounds to record) can for example be found here grayoblivion.deviantart.com/art/UTAU-CV-Japanese-Reclist-381067704

Now, a oto.ini file (also know an oto) is a vital part of a voicebank.
Imagine you record the sound 'sa' and open it in UTAU. You play it, but what do you hear? 'ssssssssssa-'. By oto-ing the sound (ctrl+g while the note is selected) you make sure the sound doesn't stretch, and starts where it should. :3
I'm wondering if I should make a tutorial on CV otoing on here now xD

Welcome to the forum!

As Goth said, CV is the easiest to record and an oto.ini is very vital to an utau's voicebank. If you're a more visual person, this might help you more--but there are many ways to do a CV Japanese oto. Just make sure to adjust accordingly to your voicebank for the best effect c:

As for recording, I'd highly suggest using Audacity for doing a CV voicebank. I'd also suggest getting a pop filter or using Shirahime's no-pop filter method just for better recordings (having a yeti is great, but a pop filter is better for removing air puffs, unwanted mouth clicks, and the like)

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask around here! I'm sure everyone would love to help you out!

Welcome!

I'd suggest working with other people's UTAU more, before jumping in and making your own, so you can develop a better understanding. This will contribute to the quality of your UTAU. Maybe try making a cover with Teto?
That's just my two cents though.
