The Foundations of Making Vocaloid - A Beginner's Guide Tutorial

A beginner's guide to Vocaloid production from a seasoned beginner ~ This was a rather unforgiving hobby for english speakers to get into, so I compiled what I know into a simple tutorial.

NOTES:
5:07 - Scratch my other recommendations and please consider using Synthesizer V. It has a free version, and lots of seasoned Vocaloid producers are switching to it due to its technical
improvements.
6:40 - .VPR is the standard Vocaloid project file format only available in Vocaloid 5. It cannot be opened in Piapro Studio. .VSQ and .VSQX files can be opened by either editor, which is why they're often most available & supported within the community.
6:56 - Musescore now has a MIDI export function, so that kind of nullifies the whole part about note inputting lol
7:50 - I keep saying Beats Per Minute, but what I mean is actually Beats Per Measure. I'm so sorry lol.
11:30 - He doesn't sound any different here because I forgot that Vocaloid3 and earlier voicebanks cannot use the Growl feature.
