My latest fanfic covers a pair of slice-of-life stories that occur after a late night of vocal synth production work. I hope you'll find some heartwarming dialogue, and some neat Japanese cultural experience in the second story! I've written Miku in works I've shared before; as an experiment...

Travelogue is a description of a hypothetical trip to Japan, including visits to several of its wonderful sites! Of course, I didn't travel alone. I hope you enjoy it!

This is the talkloid project I mentioned before. I've been having a hard time and haven't been in a good place for awhile. As part of working on that, I've read a number of things and have been working with reflection and meditation. I set out to create a meditation assistance tool for my own...

Does anyone have tips for how to make a talkloid that sounds good? (I've done a few segments before, and am currently working on a much larger project, so I'm looking to learn more than I currently know.) In my experience, the main things that produce better results seem to be Very careful...

I thought it might be fun to create a place where we could post our own setlists--i.e., put together a hypothetical concert (in whatever style, and of whatever synths you might choose) and plan out the songs for it. I decided to put together a Mirai-style setlist. You can see it below. (You...

The day is here! Happy birthday, Miku! My new song, "This Love's for Me and Not for You," is up! This song came to me while meditating to a Japanese video feed overlooking the grass, water, and buildings of Sasashima. I was reflecting on the difficulties of sharing my vocal synth...

Looks like there will be some sort of vocal synth festival on Nico Nico to commemorate its return to service. https://blog.nicovideo.jp/niconews/226143.html If I'm understanding correctly, all you have to do to participate is Post a video to Nico Nico during the event's posting period (which...

Hi! I noticed that the Resources and the Search feature don't show up on the site's menu anymore if you're not logged in. That's obviously not a problem if you're a member or if you stay logged in all the time. However, I would guess that the Resources feature (and the supporting ability to...

Hey everyone! Can you give me some feedback on a new original I'm working on? I think there are some moments where I should have the drums do something different, and I know the vocals are too loud currently, but do you have thoughts about the rest--the guitar, bass, anything? This is also...

I was wondering if anyone here who makes music had decided what sorts of genres they tend to lean toward? Currently, I seem to gravitate more toward lofi and synthwave. Though I also get ideas for pop, and am willing to stretch that in a folk/ballad or rock direction. Even that doesn't cover...

I'm going to ask an important but dumbass question that probably comes up for a lot of people. I think there's an obvious answer, but I'm hoping for another one. :) I often want to use a guitar, but I don't know how to play. I'll try to lay out a chord progression by making a sequence of...

mobius017 submitted a new resource: Making a Vocal Synth PV Start to Finish - How to make the vocal synth PVs you see on Nico Nico, YouTube, etc. Read more about this resource...

Hello everyone! I've released a new chillwave song: "Walk with Me!" Words & Music / 単語と音楽: mobius017 ( mobius017 - ニコニコ ) Illust / イラスト: Background / 背景: 「深い赤が空を染める」 ( [piaproイラスト]深い赤が空を染める ) by テルハさん ( [piapro]テルハさんのマイページ ) Hatsune Miku Illust / 初音ミク イラスト: 「miku1190」 ( [piaproイラスト]miku1190...

Has anyone worked with adding things like waveforms/colored orbs/etc. that respond to the music to their PVs? If you have, what software did you use? I'm sort of interested in experimenting/seeing what kind of results I'd get, so ideally I'm looking to see if there's something simple to use...

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share my new song, "Lofi Twilight!" This the first song I've shared on Nico Nico, as well as the first lyric video I've released. I'm still learning, but it's quite a feeling to attempt to contribute something to Vocaloid's ancestral roots, in the format I've...

Does anyone have preferred settings for merging voices using Zynaptiq Morph? I've been experimenting with it as an alternative to XSY of Miku V4 and V3, using the settings below: Algorithm: Interweave LL Morph/Xfade: On the left, about 90% of the way up toward B Complexity: about 75% For what...

I thought it might be fun to share merch you're Waiting For and merch you're Wishing For. Waiting For: Merch that will be or that has been released, but which you haven't bought yet for whatever reason. Wishing For: Your imagination is the limit here. Maybe you want a LUMi-inspired life...

Just for a bit of fun, what do you think some of your favorite vocal synths' favorite drinks would be? This can be any kind of drink: coffee/tea, milk, soft drinks, beverages that require responsibility (In which case, you can choose to handle this as you will: ignore their canonical ages...

Any suggestions for making a Vocaloid yell? Especially for short phrases (e.g., "Stop!" "Run!" "Hide!"). Dyn and Volume will have to be up, obviously, though I'm thinking have one/both rise a little and then crash to 0 at the end of the word. Ope is already maxed open by default, so that'll...

What sort of instrument do people use for a more artificial bass sound, suitable for EDM? For example, something like the bouncy, twangy synth in nostraightanswer's "With This Love?" (I like this sound, but this particular sound isn't the focus of my question. I'm looking for the...
