I discovered that the Windows version of UTAU works well under Wine. Obviously, I decided to start with the free option. Soon I began wanting to use the programs to make my own covers, and that was when the problems started. To learn more about UTAU, check out the UTAU Wiki. Cover of "Yuudachi no Ribon" ("夕立のりぼん"), with the Sukone Tei voicebank."Error," with the Namine Ritsu Kire voicebank."Kenka Wakare" ("けんか別れ"), with the Momone Momo voicebank.UTAU has a version for Windows, and also one for Mac called UTAU Synth. So it has much more available voicebanks than VOCALOID, but the downside is that the quality varies greatly depending on the recording quality, the voicebank settings, the intonation and the pronunciation of the person who made the recording. The voices are also provided by real people, with the difference that anyone can record his/her own voice and put it in the program without relying on contracts, studios and professional singers. It's also proprietary, but is free (technically it's a shareware, but one of the few "advantages" of paying are just some interface improvements and maybe access to earlier test versions before the "general public", but it works for free with no problems). UTAU (meaning "to sing" in Japanese), is the name of another singing synthesis program, however it was developed by a fan. Cover of "Roda Viva", with the Galaco voicebank (forced to sing in Portuguese!)."Greensleeves", with the Avanna voicebank (English)."Aitai" ("会いたい"), with the Megpoid/Gumi voicebank."Cendrillon", with the VY2 and VY1 voicebanks.Natsu no Umi ("夏の海"), with the Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin voicebanks."Packaged", with the Hatsune Miku voicebank.VOCALOID runs on Windows and Mac.įor detailed information on all VOCALOID voicebanks available, visit the VOCALOID Wiki (which explains all this much better than me :P). The most popular one is Hatsune Miku (I don't like her very much) but there are many others. Each voice is represented by a character. The voices are provided by real people, mostly actors or singers. VOCALOID is a singing synthesis software, paid and proprietary, whose engine is developed by Yamaha. I just knew it had to do with music, and for a while I had thought it was the name of a band (hahahaha)! But no. It's something that became quite popular in the last few years, but I had no idea of what it was until 2011.
