Oh, I am slain! No seriously though, when has a Len/Rin song ever ended well?
On that note, I'm glad to be finally going back to my roots and doing a Vocaloid song again, after how many years? I first heard this song back in 2012 and did a transcription back then, but never got around to playing it because a certain flutist from band said it was too hard. I've since lost the original transcription along with my hard drive, but after Kiwi expressed interest in covering the song, I drafted it up again. Finally, here it is!
HUGE thank you to Kiwi, for agreeing to collab with me on this tremendously challenging project and providing that awesome contrasting shimmering timbre! Check out her channel for more beautiful flute covers! youtube.com/channel/UCVGmSje-PwcikbCBSINto8A
This one was pretty brutal, from the recording of the 11/8 and D# minor sections to the mixing of five-part harmonies. Technical complaints aside though, it's a really pretty song from OSTER Project, teeming with gorgeous melodies that work so well with woodwinds. I'm always impressed by her works. Maybe this one's not the most jovial of songs, but eh...
Hope you enjoyed, have a very Merry Christmas, and see you next time!

A note from the flutist:
It was so much fun to collab with Sean! It was an honour to play such a great arrangement, although I struggled playing the last few bars RIP. I feel like I learnt a lot through this collab- thank you for teaching me about buses lol. We both put a lot of effort into this cover so I hope it shows!

Clarinet cover of an awesome Miku Hatsune song. Sorry about the ending, the camera died :(
Set in the rather annoying key of Db+ (concert B major), which is a bit too hard to do by ear =)

Headphones and 720p for the best sound!
After having some problems with my current rig, I thought it would be a good time to try out some new gear. So I went to the music store today and rented a truckload of equipment :) Well, more like 3 mics, a bunch of XLR cables, an Avid USB interface, and a stand, but anyway... XD
0:00 Behringer B1 condenser (my current mic)
1:10 Audio Technica AT4040 condenser
2:20 Shure SM7b dynamic
3:30 AKG C214 condenser
Only effects used were compression, reverb, and a low cut around 30 Hz on the master track
Its not the most scientific of tests, cause I dont have an interface that can accept 4 inputs simultaneously, but I tried to keep my setup as consistent as possible. Just try to ignore my sloppy playing :P
Tbh, for mics that cost 2 to 3 times as much as my current one, the improvements were really, really small XD What do you guys think? (Ill refrain from giving my opinion to keep you unbiased) ^_^")
