【KYO】Rotten Heresy and Chocolate / 腐れ外道とチョコレゐト【VOCALOIDカバー】

Never before have I made a KYO with such intense chuunibyou energy...

Hey, y'all ! ! ! I'm back for the moment ! ! ! And would you look at that ! ! ! It's the first Pinocchio-P song beginner VOCALOID fan Mio ever listened to ! ! ! And continued to listen to repeatedly for the next (checks watch) eight and a half years??

A banger's a banger, folks.

So, remember how I missed out on the VY2 anniversary this year because I had to scrap so many WIPs and felt like I couldn't live up to expectations??

Well, turns out letting down those expectations literally unleashed a previously unprecedented wave of kinetic energy in my soul that gave me the power to finally learn Logic and finish six WIPs in the span of one month.

That's powerful, man.

Somehow, despite the ever-present hell that is being locked at home and yet still required to finish hours worth of lab work and essay writing, all whilst being crushed under ten million deadlines and college transfer requirements, I managed to follow through on the decision I made sometime back at the start of May to finally go through with doing an equal love anniversary this year with the caveat that I'd do only the bare minimum for each cover.

Each stage of each of these covers was done in under a week (sans the mixing for this one, which took a little over a week due to V5 Hell™) during the busiest part of the semester, so honestly ! ! ! I'm pretty proud of myself for them turning out as well as they did ! ! !

That being said, this year's anniversary theme (aside from finishing up loose WIPs and finally spreading out the anniversary love evenly for once w) seems to be "first [insert producer's name] song I ever listened to," so here we are with a vintage Pinocchio-P song!! This is actually another case along the lines of Wavefile where I started working on the tuning way back in my early ZOLA days and just... didn't end up picking up again until just recently. (Fun fact!! I actually posted a WIP of this back in the day, which you can listen to over on my tumblr!! https://miodiodavinci.tumblr.com/post...)

Gotta say―this was definitely a lot easier to tune once pitch snap became a thing and I could spend more time honing in on the pronunciation and fun pitchbends as opposed to fighting KYO tooth and nail to keep him from sounding drunk, pained, and gaspy. And it,,,,,,also helped that I finally had access to an in-editor distortion filter via V5 so I could spend less time futzing with his tone pre-mixing and more time tuning overall skjghlsdkjf

Like, if I'm being honest? Literally the distortion filter (which was only used during tuning and is not present here) and some of the growl/shout effects are the only reason this was tuned in V5 instead of V4 because b o y did V5 give me hell when it came time to mix skdjglkdsf

Honestly, out of all the covers this round, this is probably the one that started off the most "for fun" (I actually first picked it up again sometime last year because I ran into Rinniin's cover and was reminded of my own WIP and felt nostalgic over it ksdjghldkfj) but ended up being The Biggest Pain™ once it came time to mix and make the cover art. But, as if to make up for it, it ended up being the video I had the most fun on!! As you can tell I learned some new AviUtl effects in my absence and //god// if I'm not going to put them to use!! Y'all are going to be sick of speed lines and fake LCD display effects by the time you're done with this w

Like, I'll be real, this is probably the most fun I've had on a PV since the UNI PV, which is saying something, because the UNI PV filled me with an inordinate amount of joy before I uploaded it and realized a whole set of subtitles was wrong w. Let's hope this one doesn't follow in its footsteps ! ! !

Basically, long story short, what started out as picking up an old WIP with the intent to just finish it up for personal listening purposes ended up becoming a high speed, full-fledged cover effort in tandem with two others that resulted in one of the most painful mixes but most fun PVs I've worked on in a while w

Enjoy ! ! !
