Koisuru Beam FL Preset
🕑 Added 2021-01-01 05:29:29 +0000 UTCThis will probably more end up like a mixing breakdown instead of how to use the preset, but I feel like maybe that'll be helpful anyway!
Here's the preset for the main vocal of my original song Koisuru Beam! It's not very different from my other vocaloid presets I would say, but the EQ is pretty specific to Rin. The consonants are also boosted a bit to help cut through the mix. As per some of my past mixes as well, reverb and delay are in their own Send tracks, separate from the main vocal/preset.
If any of you would like me to post more presets for the other tracks of the song I'm ok with doing that, they just aren't too different so I didn't feel they'd be super helpful. I guess the only important thing I did for the backing vocals is making the lower harmony panned more to the left and the high one to the right.
Here's a look at the vocal mix project, it's kind of... messy and hard to read but bare with me haha.
I guess the main thing you might notice is all the little clips above the main vocal (4th track down). Those are all breath and vocal fry/glottal stop sounds! I find it hard to replicate the sound I want for those in vocaloid itself, so instead I splice them into the mix where I need them. This is pretty time consuming since I try to find clips that fit the vowel sound and mouth shape on the incoming/outcoming note!
The harmonies are all made with the method I mentioned in past posts, just using AutoTune to force it to only hit a certain range of notes. It's kind of lazy but with a busy mix the robot-ness is kind of hidden so It's sometimes just easier than making a dedicated harmony track in vocaloid.

Always happy to help!! 😊 That was what I wanted this patreon to be for anyhow, helping people get some pointers with stuff. When I started out I felt like there was absolutely nothing, so I'm really happy to hear that you find it helpful!
Hi Cillia. I just wanted to thank you for posting these. It's been so difficult as a new producer trying to figure out how to mix vocals when there's so little information out there that specifically considers vocal synths.These presets, as well as your VSQs, have been a really nice insight into how various sounds are achieved and you've saved me so much headache from not having to trial-and-error my way through every little obstacle.
