ITs happened already several times.

The result is not impressive actually.

The vocaloid engine itself only handles 16 tracks and there are more then 16 vocaloids. So things have to be cut and pasted into another software to make it work, so you loose the "live" vocals and add editing annoyances. This creates the first inconsistency.

The next is there are 5 languages, which means all vocaloids have to use phonetic splicing and cropping to match sounds. The result means that each vocaloid doing that takes a quality hit further on.

Vocaloid itself is great for 4 vocals approx. but one thing I did notice is the more you push it the more it buckles. At 16 tracks, vocaloid2 at least was tossing up engine noise more often. now imagine this amplified.

Then you have the fact not all vocaloids cover the same tempo, the same style, the same vocal range... Plus there are few producers who own a lot of vocaloids, let alone all of them and therefore they cannot do with without help. This leads to issues with quality further as each producer will not give the person putting the song together with all vocaloids in samples of the same matching identical quality.

The results of all vocaloids singing at once is often disastrous.

Some people like songs that feature a lot of vocaloids. I don't. When the vocaloid engine starts messing up too much and you loose the uncanny valley, I start disliking the song. This was my issue with Appetite of a People-Pleaser, which featured a Low Quality Flower due to the butchered Japnese to make English, plus the hugely unsmooth and broken singing style of Flower and neither song nor vocal range being Flower's best result (too high, not rock). This is why I made initial responses when it got popular on Deviant Art. But this is my taste, and as poorly used as Flower was in that song, and this is where I draw my line on my criticism.

So some people quite enjoy the terrible songs where many vocaloid sing over the top of each other and are drowning in engine noise...
