so, the last textgrid I made was for Koe. it came out great except for a mistake I made that I would have caught if I had made a UST before sending over the textgrid! so this time, I made sure to make an utau version. I also wanted to see how Kotodama did and WOW! He IS GACKT here.

There is one really big error, but I'm not taking the time to fix it because this was just a really quick test to make sure the textgrid worked.

This was difficult to make at every step 😅 I only went through with it because of the Family Guy cutaway gag, but this definitely isn't the music I tend to enjoy.
Please give me any tips possible for mixing and video creation! I am really, really out of practice, but I'm limited in what I can use thanks to my computer being a rather inexpensive Windows tablet 😅
I had to transfer the original video file and audio to my phone to render it again, because the audio had so much popping and crackling, it was unlistenable :( I am cursed when it comes to technology! I used a plug-in with a name like easy mp4 export in AviUtl... I couldn't check if it would still be broken with a different render plugin because I didn't save the original project... whoops! but I think just using VN Editor really was faster.

New English test! Utan by Hataori-P / @hataori301 "Everything Stays" by Olivia Olson and Rebecca Sugar We haven't figured out the correct way to handle diphthongs yet, so that's why they might seem a little off. I used the flatten and contour intensity script, and that's why some of the 'z's went missing.

No intensity contour copying was used - instead, gain flags were automatically calculated and applied. Made using UST import. Multipitch faked in REAPER. I tried out hard panning harmonies, but I haven't listened on a good speaker so I don't know how it went!
Please let me know what you think in the comments!!

Mechanical Magical Girl PhononMae Blythe2022-10-28 | Guys, when did it get so hard to find USTs?! From a result perspective, this is no different from any textgrid I make by hand because every single boundary has been edited. When using the import UST tool, you are given a pitch object gathered from the UST itself. While it sounds pretty good, that isn't voice copying… and I am the voice copying queen 😝
I mixed poorly and used no effects on the voice so that the actual results could be easily heard.
Utan has no multipitch yet, so this is just Phonon's A3 pitch. Utan is amazing at pitching things up and still sounding wonderful! Phonon is so wonderful!
I Didn't include harmonies because it slipped my mind until after the video was recorded!

This can be improved further! I felt like I was losing hearing in one ear and the tablet has really bad speakers, so the mix isn't great.
Momo has not been fully configured, so she can be improved further!
Hataori taught me a lot today about using Utan, but most important thing was actually how to edit pitch in Praat. did you know that in the previous version of this cover, one part was off key because the pitch ceiling was too low?! just changing the ceiling fixed it!
I edited the flatten and contour script I have always used to use intensity objects. That means that instead of sharing an mp3 for the sole purpose of using the intensity copy, I can just share the half megabyte intensity file!! (note: the audio file would still be required for the method involving utau unless Hataori redoes the script.)
what is utan? Utan is a new singing synth by @hataori301 which currently uses Praat as its GUI! The focus of Utan is voice copying. think Vocalo, but instead of a tuning mode... it's the entire synth! There are no midis or notes or anything like that - everything comes from the textgrid for timing and the pitch data for... pitch. The engine has nearly no noise and it's so clear and I am very much in love.
