I have read about Vocaloid in the past, but have never actually heard anything produced with it. I really like this track, Eighteen. I prefer tracks with an interesting melody and you created a really nice one in this track. I'd experiment with Vocaloid myself but I'm on a Mac and I believe it is PC only. Too bad. You track, which I greatly enjoyed, makes me want to incorporate it in my music.
I did a quick research about mac and vocaloid, and it should be possible with vocaloid 3, I see for example this text: Vocaloid3 Hatsune Miku V3 by Crypton Future Media Windows, Mac OS X
hope it helps
"I'm Eighteen and I don't know what I want", Ooops, sorry bro. It's just that I'm reminded of the Alice Cooper song "Eighteen" when I see your name. Ever heard it? Yeah man, like the others I'm really digging this sound of yours and as mentioned I have never heard stuff like this before. In listening to this I was able to notice a little clipping which I think certain areas of the vocal section is pushing the ceiling too much. I love the track though and think you really have a unique thing going on. The vocaloid combined with the chip tune / Arcade video game sound effects really gets me thinking of Japanese Anime. Very cool stuff bro.
I love how quirky and infectious this song is. It's (as others have mentioned) very fresh. Never heard anything quite like it, which is a shame, I want more dammit!
Definitely a fave :)
Thank you for your nice comment :)
my songs are all, in my opinion at least, unique from each other, but yet a bit of the same..
regardless there is only one song I uploaded before that resemblence a bit of this active kinda vibe, and that song is, 07 Smooth As Me ,right herer on looperman.
I have never heard of ¨ Vocaloid Progressive Ambient¨ as a genre before, but I am glad I stopped bye this song. I really liked the energy and sound you have created. Sort of a mash of vocoded and formant sounds with a chip-tune sensibility. Music like this pushes the envelope and creative boundaries infinitesimally. Really good work.

hehe afterwards I went to go look at your profile and it turned out that you were from Holland, it goes to show that your music reflects your environment, culture, and where you're from. I was once in Amsterdam, 10 years ago, but it was only for a month. I like your track I'm gonna listen to it for a 4th time now.
Ohh xD I assumed you checked it before you commented.
But honestly I don't get why you get that amsterdam vibe, well maybe because of the lifter/sweeper?
I dont often use one, but I wanted to try it again.
But as far as creating music goes for me, is the opposite of mainstream, since I dont like mainstream, I get my ideas usually from artists like daft punk and kanye west.
anyhoo awesome that you like it so much :)
Thanks!
I'm not sure the genre, but I really dig this! Also, very cool idea to use the vocaloid (Not sure which one you used - maybe Miku or Rin?) as a synth throughout the whole thing. Very creative and smooth! When the vocaloid is being used, their diaphram control is really potent, almost like an automatic phaser effect. I am a Vocaloid fan myself, and I can really appreciate a Vocaloid user! Cheers my friend!
most songs I make I can never really place a genre since, in my opinion, what I play is not really ``standard``
The voices I used for this is Mew and Clara, Mew is pretty new to me, but Clara, Gumi and Avanna are the 3 that I standard use for a few years not, Miku or Rin I will never touch xD.
I have a free album from a few years ago called Acerbus, which is only with Vocaloid, like this, I have a few songs of it on looperman, but not the full thing.
Thanks for the nice comment, and good to know there are a few other Vocaloid knowers out there :)
One sided is correct :P,
I listen a lot to Daft Punk and took a lot of ideas/patterns from them, if you are familiar with them, you will hear it is also one sided but then again not really xD
Anyhoo sidechains is very easy, if you try it a few times you will get the hang of it in no time :)

I'm happy to hear everyone keeps saying they never heard stuff like this before, its what I aim for and am very pleased to hear it so often.
yeah the voices clipped indeed, I lowered it a lot with EQing, I put a sine on the voice, and I guess it was a bit too high frequenty.
haha yeah I love anime sounds, so it might be that I have some ideas from what I have heard in the past.
Arcade game sounds I got those ideas from kanye.
Thanks for the nice comment man!
