vocacolle 2022 autumn favorites

hello i have made the executive decision to post whatever i want so im gonna talk about vocacolle

this last vocacolle was really cool, all of the songs were wonderful and i loved seeing lesser known synths being used more (still cant believe the winners of both the regular and rookie category are utau originals!!)

anyways,, these are some of my personal favs (this is gonna be long, prepare yourself)

スコーピオンガールの貴重な捕食シーン - STEAKA : , im not sure how to describe this song, but its so good. its very "noisy" i guess, i really love the use of miku in this one, its pretty unique. easily one of my favorite favorites

知っちゃった - 椎乃味醂 : i loved this producers vocacolle entry in the spring, so im glad to see that they uploaded one for this one as well and it even was #3! reallygood, plus: yukari talking, i love it

シルバーツインズ - ぬゆり×栗山夕璃 : cmon,,, nulut and kuriyama yuri,, of course its amazing. i am blessed to exist at the time as this collab. its super jazzy, love the instruments in this one

ディストレス - ユギカ : i really like all of yugica's works, super high energy stuff. i adore the second verse on this one, and the mixing in the instrumental break near the end

ワンダールインズ - 晴いちばん : the chords , absolutely stunning , this songs also super catchy, the instrumental before the choruses at the beginning and the bridge are both really beautiful as well

アワーグラス - 柊キライ : this song is like, really weird. i really appreciate that part of it though, sounds kinda like a combination of トゥルーセラピー and ラッキー・ブルート, but still with its own twist on it

TYQOON - Sohbana : meiko!!!! doesnt sound much like her, but i feel like it was the best choice for this song. this is another one with a killer bridge (? idk the part in the middle) , i love the bass during it. i need more meiko in this genre, she really fits it

スペクトラム・ケプストラム - Adeliae : the video for this one is really good, i love the backgrounds. the guitar in this one really stands out to me, and i love the melody. this song has an energy thats hard to describe, but its so, so cool, listen to it

Satellite - a_hisa : this songs very, chill, makes you feel like your floating (thats the best way to describe it) i really like the atmosphere this one has

404ルサンチガール - MINO-U : meiko!!! (part 2) i love mino-u's music a whole lot, and this song doesnt dissapoint in the slightest. really catchy chorus, cute art, whats not to like?

フラッシュバック - なみて : everyone go listen to namitape, now. really chill song, kaai yuki fits really well in this song for not having any lyrics, love the chords in this one as well

Girls Night Party - めろくる : really adorable song, another one with a great instrumental. the vocals are great too, really add to the cute, happy vibe it has going on. love rin in this one

ノンストップメドれ！- また切ない世界を生きる : this songs also pretty crazy, very catchy. yukari really fits with this genre, suprised she isnt used more. huge props for the video, it has a whole ton of editors on it and is such a delight to watch

夢枕にとけこんで - blues : i really hope blues gets more popular, their stuff is super good. this songs super cute, super relaxing, really great listen

流転光速 - フロクロ(Frog96) : this producers great too, love how they do a lot of work with utau. this songs very good, very digital sounding, reminds me of a video game ost

空回りライブラリ - 雪乃イト: another very cute song, i love how popular karin is becoming. this songs really solid overall, i love the little time signature switch in the middle (at least i think it is, it might just be messing with me)

コトダマ - kamome sano : i love teto in this one, it really plays to her strengths i think. this song overall is really interesting, sounds super emotional and heartful while still remaining digital. the music video for this one is really cool as well, i love when visualizers of the instrumentals are included

BREAK OUT SYNDROME - ryo-shun : this song is so cool, i honestly wasn't expecting to find any vocametal originals this time around but i was pleasantly surprised. this song has really well done guitars and drums, really fun to listen to

ドッペルゲンガア - しゃいと : love the energy in this one, especially in the pre-chorus. im surprised this song didnt get more popular

推世 - AsLeep : last but certainly not least (i wasnt going in any particular order anyways) this song feels distincly "vocaloid" in a way thats hard to explain, i really like it. this song feels really emotional, its really incredible

thats it (at least for now, im tired) and im probably writing to no one right now anyways, but i want more people to find and listen to these songs. also, i couldnt get to them all, but all the vocacolle submissions are really great music and they all deserve their own recognition. if anyone has any vocacolle song reccomendations, let me know, super excited for spring 2023!!

UTAU Tutorials - Multipitch & Multiexpression Voicebanks

Hi! Here's a bit of a heads up: I've switched to using OpenUtau (an open-source alternative for UTAU), so if I post any screenshots concerning UTAU in general, chances are it'll use OpenUtau. Thanks!

That being said, it's been a hot while since I wrote a tutorial. I've been holding off this one for a while until I released my UTAUs' recent updates, and considering the format of those voicebanks, we'll be taking a look at multipitch (and multiexpression) voicebanks. This is not a tutorial on how to record those voicebanks, and it's meant to provide an overview of what they are and what purpose they have in general.

Multipitch Voicebanks

OH BOY. Multipitch voicebanks. They tend to be bigger than monopitch (one pitch) voicebanks since they contain multiple pitches. They can be in any format, but they often appear in either VCV or CVVC.

Multipitch voicebanks are VERY popular in the UTAU community for a variety of reasons, which I will get to later.

The Setup

When you open a monopitch voicebank folder, the you can already see the .wav files, frq. files, and all that kind stuff that makes a voicebank sing. In the case of multipitch voicebanks, every single pitch is organized in a folder and the folder name is named after the note (suffix/prefix) the pitch was recorded in (e.g. A3, D4, etc.). This allows for easier management when making a multipitch voicebank, but that doesn't stop there.

The oto.ini of a pitch is a bit different, because when you open one, you can see something like this:

The major difference between the oto.ini configurations of a monopitch and a multipitch voicebank lies in the suffix (or prefix) being used in the aliases. Why does every pitch need a suffix? The answer lies in the prefix.map file, which automates how a multipitch voicebank functions.

Every multipitch voicebank contains a prefix.map file. Normally, monopitch voicebanks don't need one due to their nature, but multipitch voicebanks cannot function properly without a prefix.map that is configured.

When you open a prefix.map file (with Notepad or any text-editing program), you can see on the left side the notes of the piano roll, and on the right side the pitches the multipitch voicebank was recorded in. Every configured pitch can now play according to the note range it is set in, and when you play it in UTAU, all of these pitches will come together to make a great singing voice.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of using (or even making) multipitch voicebanks is that it gives the UTAU you're using a wider range compared to a monopitch voicebank, meaning that they won't distort as much in either the higher or lower octaves. It also makes the UTAU sound more natural as a result.

Ideally, the spacing between pitches is at least five semitones to allow for the most optimal results, so keep that in mind when you record multipitch voicebanks.

Multiexpression Voicebanks

Now this kind of voicebank doesn't really matter if it's monopitch or multipitch, because it allows multiple appends of the same UTAU to be packaged into one voicebank. It's not an entirely new concept as it has existed since forever, but there's an alarmingly growing trends of UTAUs receiving multiexpression voicebanks.

The Setup

The average setup of a multiexpression voicebank typically involves the normal voicebank, and a couple other of appends such as a power/soft/falsetto append. The normal expression is often configured like a regular multipitch voicebank, but as for the appends, their suffixes are a bit different.

So you notice something in the power append's oto.ini? The suffix in the aliases often have something like "x X■G4". The ■ can either be a letter or a kanji that corresponds to the voicebank.

How does this play out in the editor?

Notice how two of the notes have a weird-looking suffix to them. These suffixes will activate a certain append, with 弱 activating the soft append and 強 activating the power append. So the voice goes from a soft > normal > powerful voice in the process, all in one track.

HOWEVER, if you want all appends to work seamlessly, you would need to record all expressions with the same pitch setup AND according to the prefix.map, otherwise the appends won't work at certain parts.

But in OpenUtau, we have the Voice Colors feature, which allows you to use multiple appends recorded at very different pitches all within the same voicebanks. Say you have a normal voicebank append at A3, D4, and G4, and the power appends is recorded as G3, C4, and F4. This setup would not work in UTAU unless you brute force it with adding a suffix to the notes, but OpenUtau's Voice Colors features allows you to use both appends within the same track through the use of prefix.map. It's a VERY convenient feature if you want to combine several voicebanks into one neat package.

What are the benefits?

The great benefit to using multiexpression voicebanks is that by using multiple appends within the same track/UST, you get a realistic, expressive voice. It is INSANE that you can get very nice results with the help of using different suffixes, and it's a game changer when making covers.

Conclusion

Multipitch and multiexpression voicebanks are just one of the many voicebank types that are very popular in the UTAU community. Should you use them or even record one? I think that's entirely up to you, so go use any kind of voicebank you feel comfortable using. I like to talk about voicebanks for the most part, so I hope this post hlped you in some way.

Thanks for reading! ^^ I'll try to work on other tutorials when I can.
