This year started with ZanZan's "don't release everything" and "your foot is on its coffin" rants, which I respect in the sense that taking moments off to refine are okay.

Of the things I did this year, the sound I want to carry into 2014 will mainly sound like http://soundcloud.com/chunter/you-said-and-smiled

The project I'm most proud of for the year is http://soundcloud.com/chunter/feel-sunshine though my song wasn't the best one on it and it isn't a chipmusic compilation.

I have two, possibly three projects (with releases) planned for 2014, and a possible, er... personal life event. We'll see.

Just sounds like virt with a Miku vocal to me... but I think that was the OP's idea.

Does 8bit Betty use Vocaloid, or is it an autotuned speech synth? (which sometimes gets better results, see many of m0d's gag songs)

In the process of discovering if something like Vocaloid is for me or not, I've since learned many ways you can chop up human or synthesized speech into singing, and...  shhhh....  from the point of view of a synth programmer, I actually find that Vocaloid is a bit weak, but it's easier to start on Vocaloid than AquesTone or UTAU. If you're worried about money, I suggest playing with a Vocaloid trial to see if you like doing it enough to spend money. I did quite a few things with the technique that became "Renoid" before it was given a name, and let's not forget vocoders and talk boxes...

Silph, that Christmas song is nice enough for a NND video if you feel inclined to make one,...  maybe for next year Beware that Miku sings flat (as in pitch just a little too low) at default settings.

The trend is validation: have you noticed a lot of thread titles say "Does anybody else...." and can easily be answered "yes" without further elaboration?

I don't mean to make fun of or indict anyone by saying that, I hope you'll all feel comfortable that what you're doing is normal, acceptable, good enough, and otherwise a part of what we do.

Do you mean DMG or fake + vocal or something else?

If you mean YMCK if Miku was singing, start with http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22409251
or anything with this tag: http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/chiptune%C3 … 3%E3%82%AF

Without turning this into the final chipmusic existentialist thread of the year, there's a lot of the stuff out there depending on what sort of sound or song you are looking for. A lot of the "P's" will use electronic blips as part of their styles but not necessarily make it the whole song. If you're looking for covers, like a Gameboy version of Melt, they're out there.

If you want Miku singing over a NES or Gameboy, or any number of Vocaloid or UTAU characters "singing" the blips and videogame VGMs, that's all out there too. Though the best thing this scene and that one is, if you want to make stuff like that on your own time and gear, you can.

There is another part of your question that I wonder about, "Do you think about how [another] song can go with your song when you are writing?" Yes, because that's how you learn to take another person's idea and make it work in your more personal context.
