What I use to make songs...

Well I've been asked this a lot so I decided to just make a post about it.
When I make songs, I first make a MIDI using Anvil Studio which you can download here:
http://www.anvilstudio.com/

After that, I need the background music to be a wav so I can mix it with the voice so I use a program called Linux MultiMedia Studio (LMMS) which works on Windows as well so don't worry about that. You can download it here:
http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

In order for lmms to recognize the sounds immediately after importing a MIDI, I use a soundfont called Chorium which you can download here:
http://www.pistonsoft.com/soundfonts.html

Everything I use is completely free. You can purchase extra functionality for Anvil Studio but I'm fine just using the free version.

You can ask me for help using these programs but I ask that you first google, or use the help files before asking me. Sometimes it's easier to learn from the programs own instructions and sometimes I can't explain things very well ^^;

Well hope this helps! Enjoy!

How do you make sure the midis are on pitch and timed right and stuff like that? I use a different program, and I've edited midis, but never actually made any because I'm not quite sure about stuff like that...

You'll have to use your own discretion for that. I basically put here what I use to make my original songs so I do whatever sounds nice to me. It helps to have some background in music (knowing how to read sheet music, chords, keys, scales) that'll help you make better choices.

How to make an oto.ini BASIC TUTORIAL

Before you begin reading it's very important that you know the rules about making an UTAUloid. I'll list them below, and I found them in this guide to make your own UTAUloid which you can download here . "You may enjoy yourself, but do not break the law or violate somebody else's rights. All "UTAU" users must follow these rules!! •Don't create voice bank from a real singer's voice without permission. •Don't create voice bank from a real actor/actress's voice without permission. •Don't create voice bank from a real voice actor/actress's voice without permission. •Don't create voice bank from the output of “Vocaloid” products, which explicitly forbid such a usage. •Don't create voice bank from the output of other voice synthesizers without permission. Breaking the rules will result in the accusation against you, and may even Mr. 飴屋／菖蒲 (Ameya/Ayame) as an accomplice. Such a situation will terminate the free "UTAU" worl...
