Weeks ago I was in a bleak mood and ended up listening to the Silent Hill series soundtracks. (And weirdly, just days later Konami announced a bunch of new Silent Hill stuff.) I haven't really listened to them in a few years, but I used to listen to them quite a lot. It inspired me to start...

The writer covers types of song lyrics that will never get recorded or published in the music industry. Excerpts from americansongwriter.com (emphasis added): Between the Rhymes: Writing Lyrics An Artist Would Sing Many times when I’m mentoring SongTown songwriters, I come across a truly...

This is meant to be a really raw rendition, like Miku just grabbed the microphone on stage and started into the song. I think people will either love it or hate it. It's either going to be a success for three months of effort or it will be a failed experiment. At least I learned a lot from...

(I read this March 2021 article online and thought it was very interesting. I want to share a few excerpts. I'm bolding parts for emphasis.) “It’s funny, when the first Maroon 5 album came out [in 2002] there were still other bands,” the band’s frontman Adam Levine told Apple Music’s Zane...

(via twitter) I love artwork and promo material that maintains the illusion that Miku and friends are actual performers. Keeping to kayfabe if you will. We know they aren't real. The people making the material know they're not real. But we make an unspoken agreement that we will buy into...

I was looking at the potential in adapting the lyrics to "HIBANA" by DECO*27. Translates to "SPARKS." I'm reading over it again and again and I gotta say: I'm not sure I understand this song. Is it poetic expressions and colloquialisms that are making this hard to translate, or is it just...

So far in all my projects I've found myself building each vocal directly from phonemes. The trouble is that we sing sounds, not words. I basically sing the line out loud and then mimic the sounds in Piapro. For example, the dictionary has the word "face" as [ f eI s ] which makes sense. But...

Questions Any tips for using the pitch bend parameter for vibrato instead of the regular vibrato setting. Like, is it okay to used a sawtooth most of the time, or should I take the effort to make curves? I've played around with what I call "shark tooth" patterns. Sometimes pitch bend just...

When I did my cover I processed the vocal track with: Equalizer > Digital Compressor > Tube Compressor > Analog Delay > Limiter. It took me a week to get the right plugins and tweak the settings. The EQ was set to a "female pop vocal" preset that boosted the high-mids but had a high-high cut...

I've been putting off posting this. But I need to stop tweaking and fixing it and move on to another song. This is my first cover. I bought the Miku English bundle almost two months ago. Since then I've spent a few hours each day learning Piapro and Studio One. I've spent a lot of time...
