These synths are really chaotic and atonal, the kicks are overpowering making it hard to hear vocals or anything, vocal has no flow, seems kind of chopped and recited with barely any melody.
Not a music producer so can't give you any hints, but that's kind of how it sounds for me.

While it's not 4chan store theme tier, that's what I was reminded of in this moment. It sounds like a bad attempt at EDM. The record scratch synth if that's what it is plays like a weird metronome, what the other guy said about the vocals, I'm not sure what is even being said even in the parts where you can hear the vocals. Cockerate on your zone? My energy becoming home?

Also, going loud works best when the music is clear. The part where it tries to go hard around 19 seconds in just sounds messy. The only sound that comes out clear is the drums while everything else just blends together indistinctly.

>>51134949
This is vastly better. Everything sounds a lot cleaner, effects stand out and have their proper moments, only thing I take issue with is I still don't hear what the vocals are saying. I might be able to parse them with subtitles or something, but they're really hard to make out.
>>
>>51134979
I’m glad you think so! I’ll have to see if I can mix or tune the vocals to be more understandable

Why are songs today all short meme tiktokified zoomer shit with no class and no meaning or purpose other than to go viral / get popular? Y'know with how popular these are they are the new standards right?
I shortly watched some of the popular ones and my recommendations were filled with teto+miku imitation songs with 500k to 1mil views all trying the same short viral format

I feel like japanese are thinking this nowadays
"Ah, making a song I want to make isn't worth it, I better use teto and try to make a short viral song" meh I guess its only natural when a fanbase gets mainstream, I dont really care
>>
>>51135365
It's because of Mesmerizer, then other songs capturing the success like Daidaidaikirai further making it an issue. People feel like they have to use Miku or Teto for any chance of a song getting views at all. I've seen producers make one song with them and it gets excellent views, then while they get more views later, it'll have a sharp dropoff of them from (for example) 50k down to 1-2k with the biggest difference just being vocal choices. This means they feel trapped and forced to perform, even if they have a different favorite vocal. You can actually see this with big producers in the space, too. Tiktok tourists and kids will only watch things that feature either Miku or Teto, and nothing else unless they like Yi Xi, Adachi Rei, or a Vocaloid of choice (normally either Gumi or Rin) that most other tourists don't care about anymore.
>>
>>51135365
Vocaloid music right now is in a similar state to non-vocaloid music where all the mainstream stuff is soulless and made for virality and you gotta dig deep to find the good stuff. It's still being made, but it's never gonna reach the same level of popularity.

>>51134949
>Ngl I’m embarrassed, thought I had something worth sharing
No need to be embarrassed, most people here, me included, would probably perform even worse. That's how it is with producing music, you gotta make a lot of earrape over and over again until you "get it", at least that's what /mu/ says. It's still worth it to share because when you keep working and listening to one piece for long time you might not really realize that something is off until you give it to some fresh ears.

>https://voca.ro/1npufDCzxjkY
Mixing, vocal flow and sample/instrument choice is significantly better here. Composition could be made more interesting, but at least it is listenable.

what do you think of my miku vampire vocal fx?
(posting cause I think we should share more wip here)

I think itd be cool if somehow we started a /jp/ vocaloid song thing, like 2ch did long ago, they uploaded lyrics/midi and other producers made songs out of them including samfree at the time

https://web.archive.org/web/20071124063257/http://dempa2.nullpo.2log.net/

I don't know how they set it up / did it desu but heres samfree's song lol

You're trying to evoke an image that is probably quite clear in your head, but extremely indistinct in anybody else's. When I saw Miku Vampire, I thought something to do with the song Vampire, not Castlevania ambience as Miku kakas and says vampire. Like why is she just saying the word vampire instead of a threat to drink my blood or something. The actual sounds itself make me wonder if I'm in a dungeon or approaching the castle. You're giving very little to work with and it feels like something that needs visuals or at least a setting description. Also what's with the upbright piano at the end. Did morning come or something?

lmao you make good points actually, saying vampire randomly is stupid lol
I had no direction other then wanting to try and make vocal FX at first using wavetable/granular synths, then I tried to turn it around into something of a song, don't really know what to to do with it desu (The breaths are miku's too)

But I like your critique, what would you say about this?
https://voca.ro/14j0NK5kv0vQ

the image/lyrics I envisioned
miku new to class 3, at park/recess alone, wind blows her hair as she watches other play, tells herself shes fine as walks home alone and wonders if she can make friends.
I was gunna add more instrumentation but is the simpleness good already?

I normally hate Western Teto songs (Virtues made some excellent ones though) but this one is awesome. It's very meta (as are most songs in the 2020s) but it's not taking itself seriously while sounding good. I'm happy to see voicebanks other than Teto and Miku used, even if it's mainly adlibs (and possibly harmonies), the tuning on Meiko in particular made me really happy and a Haku mention in 2026 is very nice.
Hope one day we see Zatsune or Kiku Juon again though.
>>
>>51136266
The instrumentals feel well put together and have something like an upbeat getting through your day feeling, but Miku feels downcast and conflicts with it being a bit disharmonious.

And that was my feeling before actually reading the image/lyrics part so good job.

I will agree that it feels a bit simple. Rather than the music itself, it's the concept which I feel is pretty common already. A lot of indie music, not just Vocaloid is already about the everyday struggle, so a lot of it blurs together. It's a mellow getting through your day whereas some songs can make it feel far more like a massive struggle. Ostensibly some of the most famous songs in Vocaloid are of this type, but the sheer despair approaches suicidal ideation.

If I would give any advice on direction, it's that your song might want a second half/part 2 that goes heavy in either direction, either falling deeper or actually finding friends. Causing the instrumentals and vocals to fall into harmony. Maybe something like a sharp intrusion with somebody else making her their friend and pulling her to their pace. Maybe Mikuteto slop, but it could be any other Vocaloid as well or even multiple.

Don't feel bad about going earblind, it happens to me after about 2 hours of straight work, sometimes sooner. But I think the issue with the mixing might be me not liking the effect that makes it sound very... tinny? Otherwise it is definitely way more clear, and if that's what you're going for with the effect, I won't stop you or shit on you for it. I do like the instrumental a lot.

Everything about this task seems futile if you're not somebody who has seen the image and actually has it on hand, but I found this searching Miku battlestation, no piano. Battlestation threads were always more a /v/ thing and any /v/ archive pretty much stops archiving older images due to space constraints.

Oh like the grand majority of the Western Vocaloid community? I wouldn't doubt it at all actually, I've heard Jamie is nice, despite my dislike of Birdbrain as a song. But so, SO many of them are just horrible people. I wasn't fully surprised by the Ghost situation if only because I've had my own experiences. And I have some very deep regrets regarding that, which I doubt they share the sentiment.

Now you guys know how we in the MMD sphere feel. No more silent film-like comedic videos, no more re-animations, no more original stories, and especially no more MMD Cup! Everything is friggin' pornography now, and when it isn't it still has to have a bajilion shaders and post processing applied with professionally done VFX and well interpolated motions. Hell, most of those productions end up being done in Blender anyway :/
The age of silly vids made with Animasa models, stock lighting and only linear interp for motions hitting it big are long past us.

I should probably add that what I mean here is that the rather low bar invited a lot of would-be passive fans to actually create 3DCG works and contribute to the overall culture. Nowadays there's way fewer makers, most of whom do things at a very pro level, and everyone else is a passive consumer.

Had a friend who went to DigitalStars and told me Jamie was very nice and sincere, Monochro had the fake customer relations “nice,” and Kat was a raging cunt (wouldn’t get off their phone when my friend tried to talk to them and basically shoo’d them away).
Also, didn’t Kat blow up at some Twitter rando over the Vocagathering thing?
>>
>>51144715
Twitter incentivizes tourism. It's the same thing happening in anime. Someone can be a turbo-tourist who clearly doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about, say something really stupid as if he is an authority and even call people who disagree with him tourists. He might get called a retard if he is too egregious, but his post will be boosted by the algorithm and there are enough people like him to make him feel like he belongs.
