Hi all,
Here's a folk waltz.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/what-do-you-do-with-your-life-with-sheena-and-kevin

What do you do with your life
Your question hurts like a knife
I'm a songwriter
Just a little notes picker
You could give me everything
I would never change a thing
I prefer to write a song
It’s a world I do belong

If you think your life is better than mine
I wish you the best, it will be such fine
But please don’t you blame my own universe
I know my life is not anywhere else
I don’t need to buy a car
To travel fast and so far
My guitar and I
Need no wheels cos we can fly

What do you do with your life
Your question hurts like a knife
I'm a songwriter
Just a little notes picker
You could give me everything
I would never change a thing
I prefer to write a song
It’s a world I do belong

Christian, if you hadn't told me those were synth vocals I would have not known the difference.
They sound so organic!
Outstanding backing band and mix.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

I sure liked the backing track Christian, and I don't know anything about AI voices, but you chose some good ones. They sound really good together.

Hi, Christian.

You can't go wrong with a waltz - very nice!

The change from quarter notes to eighth notes gave the song a nice lift in the middle.

Everything sounds fine when you've got single syllable words, but for me, when it comes to words with two syllables ("question", "little", "prefer", etc.) giving both syllables the same quarter note duration breaks the illusion that there's a real singer.

Anyway, nice work! smile

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

Thanks David for your comment and advices.
I would like to know for the two syllabes words, have I to change the length or the volume of notes?

Lovely instrumentation in this song. I'd actually like to hear it sung by a real female vocalist who can put power into the mix.

Chris, lovely tune! Your backing track is very open and airy, and makes a nice space for the duet. I like your choices for the vocalists, and they do sound very nice together. Some of the lines sound a little stiff and robotic, but I think David has provided input on why that is. But that doesn't detract from...this is a really nice song!
