Vocaloid Tutorial: Constructing a Complete Song w/ Tiny Vocaloid Editor & Presonus Studio One Prime

This tutorial shows the general steps taken for constructing your own original song using the Tiny Vocaloid Editor and the free multitracking recording software, Studio One Prime, from Presonus.

Yes, I tend to ramble a lot in front of a microphone--I should prepare a script beforehand, I know...

The thing to keep in mind with the Tiny Vocaloid Editor is that you can only work with one track and it is limited to 17 bars. With that in mind, you can easily work around those limitations--just work with one section at a time (chorus, verse, bridge, etc. as each section is usually no more than 16 bars in a song).

Studio One Prime has a selection of loops you can use, and it also has the Presence Editor with many, many different instruments available to you, such as drum kits, guitars, orchestral sounds, synth sounds, etc. If you don't have a keyboard or a midi controller, you can simply input the midi notes just as you would in Vocaloid.

I am a Cakewalk Sonar user, and only downloaded the Studio One Prime software last week, but if you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll try to answer as best I can. Studio One Prime is probably the most full featured, intuitive, and logical free recording software out there and I thoroughly recommend it to any beginners or students.

nowadays as a free daw, i'd recommend cakewalk by bandlab since it's basically just sonar platinum but free

seems like an interesting little tutorial, will definitely finish watching this a bit later, the only thing i really have to say though is don't give me that piracy bs when it comes to extremely large corporations not making money due to people pirating these kinds of software, the reality is, adobe and yamaha still make FAR more profit from their higher end corporate customers than they will EVER loose from piracy, dont get me wrong, piracy does hurt sometimes, but it hasn't and never will hurt companies like adobe or yamaha, in actual fact, piracy for extremely large corporations like those is generally beneficial to them.
