Hi, Hans.

Thanks, but I suspect the software is doing more of the work than me.

Not that I'm not trying! I'm really picky about phrasing, but adding "realism" is a different animal.

The composition is very lovely, though sad.

Yeah, writing happy songs pretty songs is tough! frown

So funny what Ray mentioned about the sibilance in the vocals. I noticed it too, but it wasn't disturbing at all.

This stuff is really subjective. Looking at the waveform, the /s/ looks huge. But despite what it looked like, I didn't think it sounded that unbalanced against the vocal.

So I opted to leave it be, but I certainly understand where he's coming from. On a different day, I'd have made a different decision.

I was wondering if you could use Melodyne on those vocals as well. Because there you can change about anything in them, so differ them more in harmonies. And you are more clever on the pc, so a piece of cake?


One of the nice features about the Pro version of SynthesizerV is that you can opt to split the voice into a voiced and unvoiced track. That makes it a lot easier to see and edit the consonants in my DAW.

And the options in Melodyne to modify the formants already exists in SynthesizerV. So there's need to go into Melodyne for that, either.

But you could certainly use Melodyne if you wanted to.


Thanks for listening and your questions!

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