EDIT: When i said professional im referring to user in question's definition (whatever it may be) and when i said amateur i mean someone who is not experienced in vocaloid editing/tuning and treats it as a toy :)
NOTE: Tuning is not necessarily something to do with pitch. tuning means editing the vocaloid over-all singing like dynamics, brightness, pitch, velocity, open and etc.....

Hey guys

so a certain user here said that we should not use vocaloid to make professional music and instead use real singers because vocaloids are like toys and should be only used for "fun" well i agree with this person. it is definitely a toy. but it is only a toy when its in the hands of an " amateur musician" or a "tone-deaf-otaku" hehe

anyway this time im featuring the producer Mitchie M. in hopes to make a few people change their minds about vocaloids.

Mitchie M is renowned for his insane god-like tuning skills with vocaloids
(the level of realism is unbelievable. )

In his works you can hear Hatsune Miku Sing, Talk and Rap like a real-ish human. (i shit you not)
his works are mostly EDM, some cute-ish techno and maybe something like a new age ballad... idk... in short its japanese pop music. (obviously)

although his style is pretty much mainsteam (though a very distinctive one) but he makes it up for that incredible tuning of the vocaloid singer. sorry if im being redundant with the whole "oh his tuning is incredible yadayadayada..... so on and so forth" but i just have to stress this cos god dammit just god dammit i wish i was as good as this guy and for someone who isnt a seasoned musician he/she probably might mistake miku for a real human.

anyway i think its best that you hear it for yourselves
(Note this is before the release of miku V3 so he wins the internetz)
here is a complete crossfade album with miku talking...
Greatest Idol Album

seperate songs from the album
-his first song that made him an established vocaloid producer
-Freely Tommorow

-here we have luka rapping i should mention that luka is choppy but here luka sounds so smooth and again miku sounds natural like a k-pop singer or something though i feel iffy with the intro (thats just me)
-Ai Dee (I.D.)

-this has to be the most expressive miku tuning ever (not to mention kawaii as fuck) the way she talks and those little expression she makes is just wow..... Mitchie M. gave a lot of hard work and care
-Viva Happy

-a sort of electro rock but thats not the highlight. the highlight is miku's talking and singing(duh) although there are some traces that she is indeed a vocaloid but damn cant find anyone else (as of now) that can tune like this
-Blooming The Idol

-another kawaii-as-fuck song i think this time he used the V3 version.
-Ageage Again

-"well fine he can make vocaloids sound real but he is only good with miku and probably luka...." oh dear whoever you are i hope you dont eat your words. i should note kaito and meiko sounds robotic in their raw state while rin and len is just damn difficult to tune (they can hurt your ear) but this song says other wise
-Birthday song for miku

and thats all the song i heard from him (he only have a few songs quality/quantity) although i will level with he/she who shuns vocaloids despite mitchie m's hardwork to make vocaloids sound real they still have this robotic quality (though mitchie did great to make it sound natural) and they still have certain limitations in expression but i will tell you this. vocaloids and their producers are scratching and cracking the barrier between vocaloids and real humans and with the progression of technology today who knows one day you might just find yourself dumbfounded for finding out the person singing so wonderfully in the radio turns out to be a vocaloid..
