Notes on recording
Basically, it is no different from the articles available on the Internet, but I will mention it just in case.
If you are unsure, please look elsewhere.
- Please be careful of distortion caused by incorrect volume adjustment.
The recording gain is too high, causing the waveform to appear square in the image below. We may ask you to retake the recording.
Please avoid changing the input gain while recording, so please adjust the optimal volume beforehand.
Adjust the volume so that the sound doesn't distort when you're singing the loudest. For a clearer definition of the "optimal volume," please search the Internet.
This is a free VU meter that can be used with the free version of studioone. This cannot be used with the free version of studioone (because it is not VST compatible)
I don't really understand the latter. -18dBFS＝0dbVU should be fine...

- It is best to minimize changes in the recording environment during a song.
It would be helpful if you could refrain from changing the microphone, mouth distance, input gain, etc. during the recording.
・Recording choruses and harmonies
If you don't understand, don't sing. We'll generate the harmony for you.
If you are not sure about chorus work, please feel free to ask me and I will explain (to the best of my knowledge).
If you really want to sing harmony but don't know the pitch, please contact us and we can create a reference melody line for you.
・If you want to do special processing
If you would like to add a special effect but are unsure how to record it, please consult us in advance.

Regarding data submission
Basically, there are no differences from the articles floating around on the internet.
- Please try to avoid excessive cutting and pasting between takes.
Of course, it is obvious that there is overlap, but also when there is a breath sound or when the ending and beginning of a consonant overlap.
It may cause discomfort.
There is no problem if the number of tracks increases, so please export with plenty of time to spare.
Also, if you want to sing without taking a breath like PinocchioP's Nonbreath Oblige but find it difficult, try singing like the image below.
If you send us the audio files with some parts overlapping, we can join them together.

-Try not to cut out any silent sections.
Please leave the silent parts at the beginning and end of the song as they may be used for noise removal.
Also, if you cut it too hard, the ending may sound unnatural.
No matter how much noise there is, try to export the image as it is without touching it.
・About track division
It would be helpful if it was divided into main, octave, harmony, and chorus.
There is no need to separate the rust from the rest.

Please export without any effects applied.
If possible, export in mono, but if you don't know how to do that, stereo is fine too.
There is no need to export the tempo data.
If the room reverberates too much, we may decline your request.
It may be possible that the problem will improve if you gather up all the futons in the house, stand the mattress up and place it behind it, or just make a mess.
Let's try to improve the sound quality by researching other things on the internet! I don't know much about it either, so I'm still learning.

About DM requests
Basically,
- Regarding data transfer
Please send it using a data transfer service such as GigaFile , Dropbox , or Google Drive .
In addition to the vocal data, please also send the instrumental (as downloaded).
・About your request
We have prepared something like a template. You do not have to use it.
● Song title
● Author name (for search purposes. It would be nice if you had one.)
● Length (full chorus/one chorus)
● Singing key
● MIX request (reference videos, effects, etc.)
● Whether encoding is required (if it is an original MV, please let us know)

・Delivery time and delivery date
The normal delivery time is within 1 to 2 weeks, but there are times when we can deliver your order within 2 or 3 days.
Just because we were able to deliver it to you in 2 or 3 days in the past does not mean we can deliver it to you in the same time the next time, so if you are in a hurry,
Please request same-day or three-day delivery.
