instrumentals is more of a what I'm passionate about at the moment. For me, there's no particular order, but usually what happens is that I come up with an idea, and then work on lyrics and backing instrumentals concurrently, and then finally do the tuning and mix everything together. I really think that'll depend on the person. What follows is what I originally wrote up regarding the song writing process when I misread your question I'm posting it here since it might be useful to someone, hopefully Tl dr summary: it depends on the person-instrumentals for long term profit, tuning for short-term fun, put off lyrics for later Now with that said, if you just want to get a feel for the VOCALOID software, then going straight to tuning with covers is probably the easier and more interesting route (since many artists post instrumentals for utaite), but it may not be the best way to get into original song-writing.

Learning how to do instrumentals will also force you to learn how songs are structured, which is vital to writing songs.Īs for lyrics, while it's important to a song, I feel that it's not what defines a VOCALOID producer many producers outsource the lyrics-writing, and the learning curve for writing good lyrics is pretty steep as well if you've never written poetry/lyrics before. In my opinion, if you get enough advice and work diligently enough at tuning, then eventually you'll be good enough at it, but learning how to make backing instrumentals for the genre you want to do will take a lot more time and practice.

To sum up I started seriously producing VOCALOID music in 2011, and have had a few doujin releases as well as one song in an official racing Miku album.Īs for your question, I think if you want to eventually produce original VOCALOID songs by yourself, it's generally best to start learning how to make the backing instrumentals, because sooner or later, you'd have to do that, and you might as well get a head start, even if at a leisurely pace. Sorry, still kind of new to this reddit thing (just discovered today that I could tailor my front page ><) I've submitted a few of my songs as links before in this subreddit, but if you want a comprehensive list, I suggest visiting my website or my VocaDB entry.
