That was a great idea for the song. Good choice of real tracks. The mix is excellent. It really is amazing the way you get these vocalists to work so well. I have to admit that I get a little freaked out watching them. I’ve got a ways to go to be more accepting of robots and AI. Very good pop song that sounds really good and I did enjoy listening very much, Tom

There are some very cool pop elements to this.
You seem to have those AI vox and pop sounds pretty well figured out now.
Fun stuff.

Hi B.D.
Really cool song
Very good melody and background track
The vocals are amazingly good
But I would like to see more emotions in the voice in some places
A real singer would get a lot more out of this great song.
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hi Andi, thanks for stopping by and commenting on my song, I appreciate it. Change the last line to "a good real singer would ..." and I agree. I think it's already pretty usable as is, and I've barely scratched the surface of Synthesizer V. You can change the expression of each syllable at will to make it much more expressive, but it's tedious work and I'm far too lazy to do it. After all, my songs are just demos.

B.D. great song focusing on what is really happening today.
Great dynamics and lyrics.
Super mix.
One of your best if not your best to date.

The subject is bit sad about drawbacks of the modern technology, I have written one handling the same subject but with darker content. Reminds me of Tiffany's I Think We're Alone Now (maybe rhytmically), also Natalie sounds bit like Natalie Imbruglia. That just shows how you have written professional sounding solid pop song. Very good rocking sound, mixed well, nice selection of different guitars, not too many  . I like how there's now clear dynamic difference between verses and the chorus. Excellent work with the vocals, I really like the sound of Natalie and the backing vocals are also well done. Janne Thank you, Janne, for your detailed and positive feedback, which I appreciate very much. You are the first to compare Natalie's voice with Natalie Imbruglia. I think I need to check out her stuff, I just remember her song "Torn".

A good write. Interesting observations.
Good Pop-ish BAND.
Well mixed.
fj Thank you Floyd for your feedback, always appreciated. It's amazing how much inspiration you can get from just watching other people.

“You're afraid that you're missing the world but what you miss is life as it happens around you “ Yeah! We’ve had those same observations, even at family gatherings.  Lovely vocals, good arrangement and nice, clear mix. The dynamic differences worked very well. Kudos! J&B

Clever idea from your observations. As a teacher, I see this all this disconnect all the time. Your AI singer sound really good and authentic.

I liked the song. Nothing really to add here - it sounds good. The sitar solo was sort of out place, but where does it fit into a pop song, anyway?  But I actually quite liked it as a backing instrument. Glad to hear you're doing better. Thank you David for your feedback I'm a bit confused about your 'Sitar' comment, what you hear is the '3634 DublinPop2noteHi' But anyway, I'm glad you like it

Hey B.D.
I really like the arrangement, and your use of dynamics.
Guitars sound great, drums too, and the vocal is amazingly good!
Good stuff, enjoyed. Hey Dave, thanks for listening and your comment. It's always good to hear from a guitar player that the guitars sound okay

Ah, Spellcheck is a prude programed by the same folks that promoted Everyone Gets A Trophy. This is a terrific song, BD. You really do a good job with your singers, and the whole band. Excellent choices and the perfect arrangement and mix. Thanks Marty for you kind comment, and of course for your help writing the lyrics! ...the most ardent catatonic cell addict... Noted as a possible song title! By the way, I didn't even know what a catatonic was in my own language

Another potential hit under your belt, B.D.
I thought the vocal was strangely refreshing but I'd like to hear what a real vocalist
could do with it.
Love the song and mix and in some places it reminded me of Fleetwood Mac.
Vic Thank you Vic for your positive feedback  It would indeed be interesting to see what a real singer would do with my songs, but honestly it would already take a good singer to do better, and I've barely scratched the surface of this software and am learning new things with it every day.

B.D.Thomas
You are right about Marty and David! You can't go wrong with their help on a project! This track sounds super! What a great use of the realtracks! Excellent instrument choices and the mixing and production are top shelf! The use of the AI vocals is beautiful work!
Take care, T Thank you, Torrey, for your kind comment. You are absolutely right, Marty and David are great people who are willing to take their valuable time to help me when I get stuck with my school English. But I also want to mention that the feedback I get from you guys here on the forum helps me a lot. You all are great!

B.D.,
Excellent production value on this . . . just some wonderful touches throughout. And that vocaloid shines . . . you really nail those. Thematically, very relevant . . . though I tend to agree with rayc on the lyrical tone. But it resonates notwithstanding, carried by a first rate and very professional production. Good stuff!
All my best to you,
Deej Thank you, Deej, for your valuable feedback. I guess you and Ray are right, but I think if I tried to speak/write like a 16 year old it would be embarrassing.

The drum machine hasn't replaced the drummers, the keyboarder's left hand hasn't put the bass players out of work, and vocal synthesizers won't make singers obsolete. It's just something new...

I like the song, even if it is a sad commentary on today's world. I also like to write about current events. "Are you just a cyber bot" that is a question I have asked in a song.
I also like the AI vocal and find it just as attractive as a live vocal. I don't so much try to compare the two things. The idea that you have a competent vocalist living at your house is super cool!
The whole AI world is advancing rapidly. We have a lot to look forward to. I have looked at all your videos. Very cool and fun stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, David. I always appreciate it. The challenge now will be to not repeat myself and still keep that pop feel. Let's call it 'the Nickelback trap'
