It is a most outstanding write in lyric and melody.

That's the best I could hope to hear! Thanks! smile

The vocal is as Janice said "sweet and fragile sounding and it conveys the lyric so well."

I'm glad it worked for Janice. I know there's a huge gap between what a real singer could do, but I think the technology is to the point where it's able to make a fair approximation of what the song should be.

I'd originally used the AVANNA Vocaloid to sing this, and she's got a very ethereal voice. But the Vocaloid wasn't really up to the task of being understandable, to say nothing about emoting. This comes a lot closer to what I had in mind, I find that I'm able to shape the phrasing - or at least the timing - a lot more than I could would the Vocaloid.

This is what you do and it is very entertaining musically and technically.

We've heard a zillion great voices and love them but this journey you are on is fascinating. And it just gets better and better and better...

Thanks for that. It's an interesting tool, and it helps me do things that I'd ordinarily have a lot of difficulty doing if I was restricted to using my own voice.

Probably the worst thing about using it is that it makes it so much harder to work on my own vocal synthesis program, since I'm light-years away from being able to achieve in terms of quality. cry

But it sure helps in getting more songs done!

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