So, newfriend question for anyone here who actually produces Vocaloid music. I've never thought about until recently, but I want to and have questions about how the software works (haven't bought it yet).

From what I've read, I'm assuming the software basically consists of a sound library containing the vocalist's samples (consonants, vowels, diphthongs, etc., on various pitches) and a simple piano roll editor with text, to write the vocal part. What about the instruments/background? Do producers usually work in a DAW with their own VSTs then bring in the singer in an audio file exported from the Vocaloid software?

Which one is better, Rin or Len?
