Very cool David. Cool vocal and lyric. Very impressive technology. I can only imagine the work involved in the timing of the phrasing. Well done. Cool flute synth solo as well...

Hi, Ray.

I'll have another listen to the flute and perhaps take the volume down a bit at the start.

I did notice that some of the polysyllabic syllable words sounded a little rushed - or, rather were words I'd have chosen to extend

I'll have another listen. I was initially going for a feel of a poorly translated song, so a slightly stilted sound made sense. And it's sort of grown on me since then. wink

The plugs seem good - the bass became boomy in the louder sections.

Interesting, I'll listen for that, too.

That particular voice seems to suit an anodyne arrangement.

"Anodyne" is both a fun word and an appropriate one for my writing style!

Thanks for listening and the feedback! laugh

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

If you can deal with piano roll notation, you'd do fine.

It's mostly a matter of being motivated, as the results are cool, but there's the irritation of having to buy and learn Yet Another Tool. wink

The melody is cool;perfect for the genre and I think the flute RT is about the best I`ve heard.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and give feedback! smile

Hi, Dani.

It's not me that you should be awed at - these tools are getting very impressive. I keep running into demos by other people who do truly amazing things with this program.

Hi, Janne.

Thanks! laugh

I would prefer less effects on the vocal track to bring the vocal little bit closer, but that is matter of taste. Otherwise, the new reverb worked well in my ears.

Yeah, how far back to place the vocal is a struggle for me.

Thanks for the kind words!

I should mention that's the BiaB flute, not something I did myself. I patched it together from multiple takes.

Thanks for stopping by!

David,

A pleasant BAND, a nice musical bed for the synth voice.
Mix sounds good (the Bass is slightly boom-y in earbuds).

The vocals are pleasant, too.
They sometime come across as "too perfect" (too exact?). Part of that impression comes from the movement and cadence of the melody (which made my ear "follow" the voice instead of simply "listening" to it - if that makes sense)

Nice re-do.

We listened to the original 2015 version first, and although it is good, this one is better!

Eleanor’s voice is really good. You are a master at this. Reading how you accomplish it is head spinning.

We (both of us) enjoy reading about the magic of what you do. smile
The double reverb on the flute is something I've never considered on a track. It sounds good indeed.
Bud is fond of the EMT 140 reverb sim in Nectar.
And we note that you are using BB Tubes. We just got it -- Tom Adams is using it extensively.

This is a delightful bossa tune in every way!
As Janice says Bossa's are happy smile
