So, I've talked about vocaloids before and how I adore them, however, this newspost is not just to talk about them or how much I enjoy the music people put out using them... This time, I'm announcing that I'm working on a cover of one of my favorite, if not my favorite, Hatsune Miku song.

Last Night, Good Night

I've mentioned it before, but I'm gonna say it again, this was basically the song that got me into Vocaloids. And it very quickly became one of my favorite songs, vocaloid or no, because of it's very mellow and soothing nature (The kind of music I love most... bet you wouldn't guess that with all the metal I end up doing would you?).

Currently, I'm referencing a MIDI file I've found to figure out the chords and whatnot that are used... Although I more or less figured out the intro piano by ear (It's actually pretty simple once you ignore the delay).
However, the MIDI file I found is so incomplete it's not even funny, no drums (trying to replicate those drums will be a real pain in the ass... with all the ghost notes and what-not in the song), piano notes are out of place or missing altogether (The piano part beyond the intro is completely non-existent)... The only thing that really seems to be correct or finished is the vocal part... So it may take a while for me to figure out all the missing notes/sections... and even then I'll likely leave a few things out (Such as a few of the finer pad or "twinkle" effects) just to make it a bit easier on me.
Fortunately, I also have a high quality instrumental version of the song to help me pick out the sections I'll be doing by ear, which will help immensely with the piano part in the verse/chorus.

As for the vocal part, I'll likely end up recording that as a guitar or synth part once I finish the instrumental, unless someone would care to do the vocals for me once I finish the rest of the song.

So it's something to look forward to instead of going another 2 months without an upload. I'm still struggling with writers block, so I don't really have any new original songs planned (Or new versions of existing songs unfortunately)... Although I was playing around with a guitar riff earlier. But at least I'll have something up... soon... ish.
