The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

One of the best implementations of synth vocals I've heard in a while. The instrumentation is fantastic as well. Very lush, and incredibly well produced. Listening on headphones, this sounded absolutely outstanding. I wouldn't change a single thing. Thanks so much for sharing Cheers, Deryk

Normally I'm not a fan of vox synths (might even say: of synths in general), but in this case you nailed it, sounds soooo good. Love that 'spread' drum kit with the kick so much in the front of the mix and the snare in the back. Very interesting and remarkable.
