@Keniisu Yes, it’s really hard to moderate by myself on YouTube 😭

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

Is it just me or is YouTube chat a completely different world?
I'd love to build a healthy community on YouTube like the one I have on Twitch, but it feels really hard. What would you do in my place? 😢

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@RaivyRain @ConnectLabs_ Thank you, I’m studying hard 🥹!

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

After all the talk about Tokino Mary (STELLIVE) and how Asian VTubers sing with a DAW and a pro mic setup, I desperately wanted the same. So I found @ConnectLabs_, who suggested my new hardware and then set up all the software remotely! Here’s my before & after!!!

Yesterday, when I was walking my dog, a guy passed by. He was jogging and listening to Golden on a speaker.
It was so hard to resist singing along! 🤣

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@nunafox @ConnectLabs_ There are a lot of combinations that you can get!
I just saw many in Asia loving the Babyface Pro Fs. I found a bargain in installments 😶‍🌫️, so I got that and a preamp for my dynamic mic (Shure sm7b + Golden Age Audio Project Pre 73 Jr MKII). I wanted durability and no issues.

@streamingintern Things are a bit weird on Twitch, so I wanted to have a plan B and plan C with multistreaming.
And I’m trying to figure out how to stream on TikTok 😅

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

Karaoke stream TOMORROW with the new setup! 🎤 See you at 3:15 PM CET (9:15 AM EST) on:

@codemiko I wish I could tell you how my company is experimenting with me 👀
I can tell you that coding might not be needed anymore, and the required skills are more about how smart you are in giving instructions and catching craziness… and those skills might be more rare 💀

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@ConnectLabs_ I'm so happy, thank you again!!

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

Dog update(yes, I dressed him for Halloween):
the vet kept saying “hemangiosarcoma”, but today I went to take the results and it’s actually “splenic stromal sarcoma”, which means that he might have left more than 2 months, hopefully at least 1 year 🥺

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@codemiko And people are commenting on how she looks 💀

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

every time I say "I stream in a box" people think it's a joke

it's not a joke. it's 130 x 200 cm. I'm 157 cm and I barely fit. fixing the cables under the desk is basically yoga

how big is your streaming space? drop a pic, I wanna compare 👀

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@Ivalene__ @Twitch @TwitchSupport I have the same problem, but also with raids. Tuesday I received 3 big raids, but the third one, with 130+ viewers didn’t count them properly and I wondered if they capped me 😢

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

It’s hemangiosarcoma…

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

The surgery went well. Now I have to wait for the histological examination.
TBH I thought that if he could have the surgery then he was safe, but there is this step too 😟

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

I beg artists not to turn the recent Vsinger discussions into "Vsingers think artists charge too much."
That’s not it.
What we mean is that viewers often ask for more music, wrongly assuming:
1) It’s cheap, quick, or free to make
2) Vsingers make easy money from it

Mini rant

As someone who's been doing MVs for youtaites & vtubers, there are a lot of feelings in regards to "cost of an MV person."

and I'll be honest, there a bit of humanity that does chip away as an MV person.

I've never seen the "pricing" given ever treated well-

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@illunestudios What vsingers are addressing is not “artists asking too much”, but the fact that viewers often ask them to “release more”, thinking that it costs nothing or close to nothing, and even when you try to explain, some of them have a hard time to believe them.

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@ConnectLabs_ Hello, I sent you a DM!

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

@Myzidya @_BarbarianBabe I found myself there too, and here is the scam. They are scrapers.

[Sol Song - Moon Elf Vtuber and Vsinger @SolSongVT]

If you are amongst the viewers that often ask me to release more music, please read this post 🙇‍♀️
It expresses perfectly what I always try to explain

[Evelynn Red 👾🌃 Cyberpunk Vtuber @Evelynn_Red]

"Why don't you release more covers if you're a Vsinger?"

Well, I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say that Vsingers are probably one of the most screwed-over types of VTubers.

Our main content is music, whether we're talking about covers or original songs. The harsh truth is that we barely generate any revenue from it. Releasing music is basically like flushing money down the toilet. We literally do it... for the love of art.

Actually, let's break down what the costs can look like (based on my own experience).

But before we start, if you're going to comment that "You can do all of this for $0 if you do it yourself", please keep scrolling. This post isn't for you.

Everyone knows that the standards for releasing covers nowadays are really high. You're going to need at least a decent mix, an instrumental (if the original one isn't provided or nobody has remade one), artwork, and an MV.

Yes, these things are "expensive" (and that's relative, because it depends a lot on people's wages. What might be cheap for one person could be really expensive for another). That's because behind every one of these services, there's someone working their ass off to deliver high-quality work for you!

I consider myself very lucky because I remake my own instrumentals and mix my own songs. But if I had to commission everything...

Instrumental: $300
Mix: $100+ (if you need harmony guides, add another $30)
Artwork: $80
MV: $80

That brings us to the bloody total of $560 just to put out a decent-quality cover. That's $560 that we're most likely never going to make back.

Sure, you can probably bring the costs down if you're happy with something a bit simpler. I just put together an average based on the prices of several artists I've come across.

If you use an official instrumental, the copyright gods will bonk you on YouTube, and you won't be able to monetize your work (it would also be illegal LOL).

But do you think having a remade instrumental will automatically save you and allow you to monetize your covers?

ERMMMM NOPE.

Unfortunately, even paying for a mechanical license (For distribution in digital platforms) and having a completely remade instrumental from scratch doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to monetize your cover...

And if you're curious, my last cover uploaded to Spotify generated the terrifying amount of... $1.67 🤡 My most-viewed cover on YouTube, with over 60k views, has generated 10$ .

I think it's pretty obvious that this isn't nearly enough to cover the costs.

So, when you ask why we don't release more stuff, remember: We're trying our best. We would LOVE to release more music. But sometimes, it's simply not financially feasible.

Be gentle and support your favorite Vsingers, even when they can't release as much music as they'd like to. 💜
