★ A Guide for Making Better Choruses ★

Hi everyone! This guide is meant to help people who both organize and participate in collabs. Since everyone has to start somewhere with collabs, we hope this thread can provide some tips for you! Feel free to also give us suggestions for what has helped YOU with organizing or participating in collabs!

If you are going to join a chorus project, make sure you stay committed. It's a big pain to go hunting down people and hounding them for lines. Then if someone drops out, you end up having the delay the project even more while trying to find someone to replace them. I'm sure no one likes that done to them, and no one likes doing it either. If you are organizing a chorus, it is best if you can find someone who can either mix or animate for you before you start your thread! This way, you don't have to worry as much about finding someone to mix or animate after you have a bunch of people! The chances of the project being delayed are much less! You should also include a link to both the on- and off-vocals, along with the lyrics. Lyrics can be put under a spoiler tag if needed or also linked.

This thread will be divided into different sections and put under spoilers. For the purpose of this thread, the Organizer information will be grouped with the Mixer information.

For everyone to know
Chorus producers on Nico take other people's completed covers and edit them. They're working with entire songs that they have to modify; Get the vocals out from the background (Which results in a massive quality loss), mixing (Making sure the transitions have absolutely no jarring noise), and lots more! Since all the choruses on YTC are scripted, we have much, much less to worry about. Choruses at YTC actually have the capability of being much greater than the choruses at Nico! Remember this.

What's in it?
What can a chorus have? Let's break it down.

Vocals

Instruments
Spoiler:

The main vocals are the only thing that's going to be in there in every chorus. Having the others doesn't necessarily make it better. If they're done right, however, they can add a perfect flavor that you may be looking for in your chorus.

How NOT to do it (I'll explain soon)
This is what gives Nico singers their personality!  Throwing in their own flavor to songs. Having some extra humming in there could fill in that gap of waiting for the vocals to start.

Instrumentals
How to do it
When those Nico mixers make choruses, you'll sometimes see some instruments thrown in. They can be quite the addition. Whether right through from beginning to end or just on top of the song's instrumental solo, adding your own instruments can make your chorus stand out.

Hope this guide was of use and clarified any questions you guys had about organizing and participating in a group dub! Original thread was written by an old member of YTC, has been edited, and is reposted with their permission.
