This is not uncommon when it comes to buy assets (FONTS 😭) especially video. Commercial license are different based on the audience/medium 👍

Likewise as a streamer you'll likewise expect lower budget sponsorship from an indie than a big company cause the budget is different

Some ppl debut with high quality content but a lot of them spent years practicing their craft behind the scene alongsides others who are willing to help them in their new journey

Wanted to highlight this part of vally's thread cause it's so important to me: connection matters so much!!

Do you know how many times I passed a paid project open call : ZERO

All my cool projects I got them cause smn I worked with recommended me

[vally.exe @vallyutaite]

I felt pretty alone in what I did, so I spent time on twitter finding and supporting other small youtaite, and in turn, naturally they would support me. Making these beautiful connections and friendships would be the most important and essential thing when it came to-

@Evelynn_Red I think you guys put pressure on each others to have flashy visuals but it's not what the average listener will care most about 😭

[vee @vide_640x480]

As much as I empathize the truth is other people you pay don't make much money either lol

The adobe suite I use to make MV cost $80/month
You want a font? It's around 60- 150$ for usage in video (can be more expensive the bigger the audience of your client is!)

"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. 💜

@Evelynn_Red As in plugin or like cost for covers?
Cause in case of the later that's a miscalculation imo.

There's a lot of example for songs/singer popping of using the og MV & on opposite side I've seen well known motion designer getting hired and it didn't make the song explode 🙏

As someone who had their brain rewired by the way this series is directed and the way they showcase environment I need everyone to know that someone on reddit just compiled every backgrounds and environment from the entire series in albums and it's one of the best ref source ever

[niu arx // COMMS OPEN! @niu_arx]

this is one of my favorite things about studio shaft productions, the entire monogatari series also has this going on and it’s mesmerizing

[vee @vide_640x480]

it's not a bad thing just the pool of people who cares about your works are actually very small so if you want fame it's not the venue I would advise on

[vee @vide_640x480]

I think smth to accept when you do MV is that you have almost no "passive fan" in the sense of ppl can be fans of singers/artists without themselves wanting to draw/sing while I feel like most people who are really interested in MV it's cause they want to make some themselves
