Vocaloid/UTAU Like Software For Linux?

I'd download UTAU, but it isn't native to linux and i dislike having to use wine because it seems i'm the only person in the world that had troubles with it. I'd really like to record a song with female vocals, but my circumstances reduce my options to synthetic voices. Can anyone at least point me in the right direction?

the documentation on these seems out of date...

Unfortunately that's often the case with freeware.

 

I assume you already know of Audacity.

yeah. That's what i'm using to record my guitars. as far as i know, there's no voice synth in Audacity, but i could be wrong.

There might be a plugin for it.

Install WINE for Linux. http://winehq.org If you're running Ubuntu, WINE should be in the Software Center.

WINE is a Windows Compatibility Layer for Linux that runs Windows programs in something like an emulator but doesn't take much RAM.

 

Once WINE is installed, install Vocaloid.

Vocaloid 2 runs perfect on WINE, while Vocaloid 3 does not. I've tested it myself and the AppDB Compatibiliy List in winehq.org says so.

Vocaloid 2: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7554

Vocaloid 3: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=16064

Oh lel. I didn't see that. Only read the last part. Oh well, if neither Wine or VMs run fine on your system, it's time to upgrade. Idk but Wine runs pretty well on my old netbook (eMachines em350, which is now broken). But if you're okay with dualbooting, do it.

I'd dual boot if i had a product key for 32-bit windows. If my processor was 64-bit, i'd be on Windows 8.1. Luckly i'm getting new parts in august so i can use windows.

Wait, 32-bit and 64-bit versions have different keys!? That's weird, I tested it with Windows 7 back then using the same key for both architecture and it worked, haven't tested on Windows 8.1 though. But it should work.

either way, i also don't have a 32-bit installation medium for 8.1. I could download it, but i don't have a flash-drive or spare DVDs. i figure i'll just wait until i have my new PC and by then i'll find an english patch for UTAU or something.

That's too bad. You don't have any rewritable DVDs? Or any drive flash drive even with contents that has at least 4GB of space? I can put windows installation on flash drives without formatting it. I can even keep it at FAT32. You'd be saving much more time if you solve this now rather than solve it after you get your new PC. Also, UTAU has a built-in English language (for Vocaloid 2 at least, not sure about 3). You just need to delete some dll, i think.

no rewritables and the both of my flash drives died trying to make bootable USBs for Mint 17. I actually used my last DVD-R on Mint.

It's good to know that there's an easy way to work around the language barrier for UTAU :)
