Janne,

That is a great sounding song! I love the arrangement! I don't know much about using the synth vocalists, but you really have it nailed down! It's one of your best yet!

Thanks, Torrey

A couple of small nits:
I partially agree with Ray about the voice getting a little bit "sharp" in the choruses. It didn't bother me that much, though.

On the other hand, in the verses Solaria could probably be mixed in a little bit hotter.

I have to say, I didn't so much like the cut offs of her voice here and there. But I believe you explained why this was necessary.

All in all definitely a worthwhile listen.

Rob


Thanks Rob, I appreciate your kind feedback smile I selected Solaria for the vocals of this song when you asked a Solaria ballad, I had already set the key and was thinking singing the song myself (octave lower, naturally), that's why she is singing that high. Well, this is a learning process, and I hope to learn to mix her better in the future. Interestingly, I left some cut offs and small timing issues just to make her sound more human like including mistakes... I'm sure nobody would have cared if I had sung the same mistakes laugh

That’s a really good combination of unusual RT’s and they work together great.

The synths once again could’ve fooled us.


J&B

PS: EQ wise perhaps a slight high end shelf and a slight midrange boost would tame "her" vocal a bit.


Thanks Janice & Bud for your heartwarming comment and EPIC smile And thanks for the EQ idea, I'll remember that. I used Neutron 4 on Solaria vocals and trusted the settings chosen by AI... I wish I had "golden" ears, but at this age each ear hears things differently.

Again, I wouldn't have know the vocals were synth if you hadn't mentioned it.

Really good song. Complex production.


Thanks Mr. Storm for your kind comment smile Glad to hear that the vocals and the tin whistle work so well.

Hi Janne,

I'm very impressed by this song. Especially the composition and the lyrics. Fantastic!
And the vocals are very good. I was impressed by their natural sound. You are a fast learned in that matter.
I only would like the female singer to sing an octave lower, or at least a lower key.
I think that would have given this beatiful song a 'warmer' performance.
But man, you've accomplished a lot on this artificial front.

Thanks Hans for your kind feedback smile I agree about the lower key giving warmer sound, but I wanted to test how Solaria would sound in higher register. I have new female vocalists, let's see how they can cope with that range. And as I have said before, it's not about my skills, the software is so good that even the basic settings work amazingly well, just put the notes in the right position and then you can enjoy...

Very nice instrumentation, and all though I agree that some of the higher register on the voice was a bit harsh, most of the vocals really fit in well. This has a great sound to it.
