Most USTs are already optimized in this division, so normally there's no need for that.Ī second option to to is to click the 'RESET' button right next to the OPT button. An option is to click on the OPT button (you can find this button on the far right of the secondary taskbar in the UTAU program itself) - this will optimize cross fading. Manually editing the UST presets themselves. It might sound a tad weird at first, but it will keep the arrangement of voice + instruments smoother.Ģ. If you decide to up/lower the UST vocals, it might be best to up/lower the instrumentals by the same amount. This means that if an UST is mostly set on a G octave, you can drag it to a G#, but you absolutely cannot move it over to an F - the simple reason for this is that it will make the UST off key in combination with the pitch of the instrumentals)ġ. (Always keep in mind that you should never lower or heighten pre-made vocals more than a single octave. If a USTs vocal pitch does not suit the (natural) pitch of your UTAUs voice, there's more you need to do than simply drag the vocals up by an octave.

Now, as previously mentioned, if an UTAU is recorded with a cheaper microphone that lacks proper filters and range, there will be a greater risk of said voice turning out to sound robotic in nature.īut that shouldn't be an immediate death sentence, since a proper OTO edit can still work miracles - Think about Zipperloid Teto Kasane for example, her first voice bank was rather choppy and robotic, but the OTO was done perfectly, and with the right genre of song, the quality could be easily masked. Often times people will also record a voice bank in a certain pitch that isn't natural to their own voice, which will result in an UTAU sounding like it's throat is being constantly choked.įor the best result, you should keep your UTAU's voice as close to your natural voice as posible, since the pitch and depth of your vocal range will gradually stay the same.
