Hey there! I just got on this site and introduced myself. Pleased to meet ya! ^.^ Formalities aside though, I joined to ask some questions, if I may. See, I downloaded Utau, but not by the normal 'changing your locale' way and though I didn't do that, it opened already in English-no patch. Is that okay? Or do I need to do it the hard way? Here are my problems:
1) I can't open voicebanks. I can get them loaded and all, I got Yami's English one on there but it wouldn't display his info or make a sound. My comp. (I'm using Win. 7, btw) says it can't open his bank because of the language. Though it's in English... I got 7-zip but still no...weird.
2) Voicebanks are on some crappy sites. I've tried to download both Ryouji and Tony Yonne's banks, but they're on ad heavy jumbled sites. (Honestly this is more of a complaint than a problem, sorry! ^.^') But if you know of some good sites to get USTs and VBs I'd appreciate it!
3) I'm not sure of what characters to type for lyrics. I've seen a video explaining the English words to type and how the Utau will pronounce them, but I'm still uncertain. Also, is there a hiragana to romanji plug in? What do I do to get it?
Any-who! Sorry for bugging ya with my newb problems, I'm very eager to get started and excited to see how my work will be received. Pleasure meeting you and I hope to hear back from you when I'm no longer so clueless... ^.^'
