Hello!
In short, I'm looking for tips on how to mix vocals sung by Hatsune Miku.
I've been making original songs for quite some time now, using different Vocaloids, and also other engines. As a result, I think I have gotten good enough at mixing vocals, but there's one exception. Miku.
I'm using Miku V4 English, but compared to the others, her voice just never seemed to fit as well into my songs. It's a bit as if Miku was singing a different song than the instruments are playing.
Now, I have several Miku songs on my channel, but it always feel like I have to completely mangle her vocals with EQ and then drown the mistakes in reverb to make her sound decent.
For my latest song, I tried a different approach. Instead of trying to morph Miku's voice in a way that fits the instrumental, I designed the entire instrumental to fit Miku's voice. I think it worked, but I don't want to adopt this approach for all Miku songs in the future because I don't want to limit myself in such a way.
So do you have any tips for mixing Hatsune Miku in particular, or things you do differently when mixing her compared to other Vocaloids?
I think it's somehow related to her voice color... But then again I'm completely fine with Rin.
Any help is appreciated!
