Thanks! This is more an effort to write songs than a tech demo,

Your efforts are paying off and I'd love to hear what you're capable of in six months to a year.

Well, hopefully the tunefulness of my music will improve. smile

There are additional voices coming out, and hopefully I'll have figured out what the various levers do - as well simple stuff like paying more attention to vocal range. I really should go back to my prior song at some point and pitch it down to something more comfortable for the vocal.

I'm sure in twenty years it will be difficult to tell a synthetic voice from a real one.

If you compare where this synthetic voice was only three years ago, you'll find a vast difference is realism.

I suspect that next big step for this product will be the re-introduction of glottal effects, such as growl and vocal fry. It had been in a prior release, but the UI was difficult to use - even if you were a trained speech pathologist! laugh

I think the ability to shape more subtle vocal effects would really bring this to another level.

In the meantime, I think it's still possible to make good music with what's available now, as you are doing.

Thanks! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
