01 April 2010 (Nothing to do with AFD)

I should not had recorded MICHI's new voice bank (the one she will debut with), since I was still waking up. And I never do warm-ups. Oh, well. It is much, much better than its previous one.

I am currently working on MICHI's debut/demo song. I am thinking of Cantarella, as I have an .ust for that.
Even if I do not use it (the song, in general), I will at least get the practice I [desperately] need. So, ja.

I have also been abusing MICHI's twitter (michiisolde), in order to keep me working. And making slight memos [for myself].
I also need to work on her Concept Art, etc... Ja.

I have realized that her normal voice is C#4 (it is also my actual voice). And her voice sounds good (decent) in a range of A2-B4, but it might vary from person-to-person.
(I just find that it does not go so high or low to where it is 100% unrecognizable, or just annoying or creepy, in that range.)



So far, what I need to do prior to advertising her::
~ Re-record voice bank ~ done!
~ Be 100% confident in MICHI's design ~ done!
~ Create new Concept Art, Official Art and avatar
~ Create MICHI 's Bio and such
~ Have a demo ready
~ Give link to download voice bank
~ Post (MICHI) on Overseas UTAU Forum

Re-did Voice Bank

But I totally forgot to even them out, so it's possible that I will re-do them again!
So far, the voice is the best, but it could be that I have not heard my olde one post the PC's sound card death. (I now own a laptop, so I am happy~)
But, besides that, I still need to work on the re-design art junks as well as work with my rules for her usage (including the universal UTAU ones). But I need to see if installing the tablet via CD will make the lag go away, or at least not be as bad, when I use it. That is what kept me from re-doing it, actually. Will try it, later.

Also! Can anyone dumb-down the instructions on making an oto.ini thing? I keep hearing (reading) about it, or at least have it mentioned, yet I just get stumped and remain too lazy to try Yesi-chan's tutorial. Possibly, in the future, I will try to understand and ask questions, but since I still have a relatively long way to go 'fore Michi's (yes, I have gotten lazy of using the katakana for the name) debut to the UTAU realm and junk. Which is fine, since I get to just be infatuated with it more~

So far, what I need to do::
~ Get a new sound card and-or hope for laptop to be received [really] soon -- Done! (Laptop)
~ Be 100% confident in ミチ's design
~ Create new Concept Art, Official Art and avatar
~ Create ミチ's Bio and such
~ Re-record voice bank -- Done! Likely to be done again, though.
~ Be confident in voice bank, enough to advertise
~ Advertise with a demo or something of that sort
~ Give link to download voice bank

ミチだ - ポスト2

Everyone~
It's been so long since I last posted something here!
(Sorry about that.)

Anyways, I have come to bear some news. One that is really saddening (for me, at least!) and then some basic junk.


::SADNESS::

My sound card died. And it isn't a recent model (computer) and is not the common computer type... it was given to us for free, so I had no say in how I wanted it... especially its age.
The computer works fairly well for its age, but it is probably going to die... soon.

I have many things on this computer, so that will really suck once I have to re-download many things. Hopefully, my computer will survive until I get the laptop, so that I may get the files onto a site like MediaFire if it is something that isn't available online. Such as all of my bookmarks and note-files and such!

For a High School Graduation gift, from Mommys, I am getting a laptop. I gave her some specific things I wanted, as she requested... well, I mostly want it to have a good video card and memory, so that is pretty much what I wrote.
However, it should be a Windows 7 thingy, so it will be fairly recent and such! Yay~
I will tell you what I will be able to do and not do, once I get it and have become accustomed to it. Ah, that will be an expensive gift, yes!


::RANDOM JUNK::

~ Totally re-designed ミチ. It is much more simpler and cute and not so stupid looking. Sure, I will have to make a new concept art sheet, avatar image and whatever, but I will be happy.
Why? Because people will probably like her new design.
...
I might re-design it, since I have plenty of time to do as such. (Remember: My sound card is dead, so recording is pretty much impossible... at least, a good one!)
Eventually, I will show everyone all of her designs, each marked with what is her current and what is her older attires (in chronological order)~
You will be surprised by how much you will see my change in fashion! (Hint: Lolita-like, Lolita and now not-much-lolita.)
If that makes sense, it means that my fashion has become simpler. I like the simpler outfits, which you see a lot in Asian Fashion ( or at least on http://www.yesstyle.com/ ). But that does not really matter. It is just an interesting thing to know.


~ Another thing is that I have yet to re-do her voice bank!
I had been determined to re-record it, but then found it foolish to do it on an out-dated computer that cannot read/use kana minus on Mozilla (an extension). So, I will be hoping that I will be able to use kana on my laptop, or at least be able to get something that will make it do as such!
(If not, then I will just have to deal with changing the kana .usts into romaji. Which is much more boring than it sounds. Kana-to-romaji is easy, but having to do it is too repetitive and boring.)
So, once I get my laptop (which Mommys said might be before Graduation!!), I will re-record her voice bank with all the possible things (in Japanese).
It will be much nicer than the one that I still have (since the first blog post), so please look forward to it! If people want to hear what her voice bank currently is, I will .zip the folder and upload it to MediaFire for you. That is, if someone asks me to do as such. (Requesting an alternate file sharing site is fine, as well!)
BUT I will not upload anything until I am satisfied by ミチ's voice bank. As well as her art-stuff. And I will also need to write the "can and cannot" stuff for her... as well as work up her bio (at least personality and such). I will need to research how other UTAUloids have their bios done, for inspiration.
And if I feel like it, as well as feel confident in her, then I might add it to this: http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/UTAUloids . If he-she-it/they accept it, then I will be happy. But I do not worry too much about this, as making ミチ into a proper/decent UTAUloid is more of a side-project for me. (I have online singing organization duties. Those have deadlines!)

ミチだ

「ミチだ」 is a blog for the recently-made ( by Michi; me ) UTAU, ミチ ( Michi ).
Yes... very sad ( the vanity, etc. ). XD

Basically...
Just recently learned that UTAUs can use romaji for their voice bank. That's good, since my computer doesn't have the ability to use kana, etc. ( It's olde and I don't have an XP disc-thingy. )
So~
ミチ only uses romaji. Problem is that I have to convert the .ust's I download ( manually) into romaji--yay, for knowing kana! =D
And, ミチ is a rather olde thing that I designed ( with some slight adjustments ) when I first became addicted to VOCALOID... and then UTAU ( 'cause of Teto~ ).
So, just ignore 'er lameness. =3

Anyways~
( Back to introductions. )
ミチ is recently made, with her voice-bank only being re-done once; I first tried the romaji-thing 'fore I went to sleep after I couldn't fall asleep, whatever, and re-recorded them all after I woke-up and had food. =3
Eventually!
I'll let her be "released" into the Public~
( I want to set-up some "can-and-can't" things and fill in random information and junk. And, if I feel that I can re-do the voice-bank better, again, then I'll do that. )
But I already have the Concept Art, an avi-thing, and a full-body image done, so that's not even being worried about...
'less, I go-about and want to re-design 'er. XD
*fail*


So!
Welcome to 「ミチだ」 and please support ミチ and Michi. XD
( If I get enough support, I might design some more UTAUs and junks~
...
I'm planning on doing that anyways, so... like, whatever. XD )
