Although some of the voices came out more like goat bleats than voices. laugh

I enjoyed listening to it.


Thanks. For this little project I decided to “embrace the bot“. =8>]

Oh, I considered taking the goats (trills) out, but how could I? One of my motivations in doing this, actually, was I was wondering how the trills would sound, and now I know. They sound like goats!

The “burial” problem is, I think, largely due to quantization of voices in close harmony, with all the articulations of all those voices perfectly lined up. I should have humanized the MIDI parts before importing them into Emvoice, and then imported them without quantization. And of course if they weren’t all just singing la la la that would be something else entirely.

There are times, though, when a distinct buzzing emerges out of nowhere, and I need to get that under control. I believe I am hearing combination tones, which presumably Praetorius had under better control 400 years ago even though they were always a problem. If this rings any particular bells for you please let me know!
