Oh, that rabbit hole is really deep. Yeah I got sucked in again. AI vocals. My lyrics. I have to

admit the learning curve is pretty steep but I am learning a lot. I found some very useful tempo

tools in Logic Pro X. They have helped a lot. I have been having a time getting ACW to

cooperate. Luckily I have a built in chord charting tool in my head that still works pretty well.

Thanks in advance for listening.

Like It Used To Be

A long way from nowhere

But gettin nowhere fast

The middle of the country

And running out of gas

A long walk without you

Seems so incomplete

I wish the way it is now

was like it used to be



And I tried oh Lord I tried

To forget about that last goodbye

Me and you you and me

It’s easy to see

I wish the way it is now

Was like it used to be


Burger and a show on Friday

Saturday night Chinese

No need to go for more

we had everything we’d need

I miss the conversations

I miss the quiet times

But by far most of all

I miss you by my side


And I tried oh Lord I tried

To forget about that last goodbye

Me and you you and me

It’s easy to see

I wish the way it is now

Was like it used to be

These are completely AI vocals?
That's pretty good, I have to admit.
Good and energetic song, and a really good production.
Toe tapping goodness.
Enjoyed my listen

Excellent country rock song. I was surprised that the vocals were AI as they sound so good - authentic - when most I hear I feel don't do the job.

Bob nails it. You always have great lyrics, great production, excellent performance and this song no different. It's always a thrill to see your posts appear here on the forum.

I agree with all the comments about your AI vocalist. Very cool. He sounds quite good and authentic. As good as AI can currently do. No criticism of the construction, tweaking and you getting professional quality from your PC singer. But at this point in time, AI voices are still recognizable to me.

Not a problem at all because the vocalist you chose is spot on for the song but my thought is I'd think the same if you had hired someone off Fiverr, this is a perfect song for your vocals. But the song still makes my playlist and the A-list rotation. I enjoyed it a lot and will be back soon for another listen.

These are 100 percent AI vocals. They still have a way to go but no doubt they are getting better. Be warned it is still very challenging to get them to match up with real tracks. But I believe I’m making inroads. Thanks for your kind comments.

Tom,

Your posts here in the forum are always the best of the best!
This is a killer track!
It's just my thoughts but I feel you could have sang it just as well as the AI!
Great song!

Thanks, TB

Oh, it's not just your "built in chord charting tool" that works so well, Tom. This song has all of the best ingredients for a great traveling song: great relatable lyrics, a melody that everyone thinks they can sing along with, and an excellent singer backed by a talented band. Then you grab us with the hook, and wrap into an enjoyable mix. It all works well, Tom.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hey Tom,

Great song! The AI vocal is spot on. But i could hear you or George Strait sing this in spades.

Great work on the voices and the song itself.

Best to you. Good to hear you again!

Hi Tom.

What an outstanding listen.
You've really conquered those AI vocals.
I would never have known that this wasn't a real singer if you hadn't mentioned it.
It's a great write and first-class production.

--Noel

P.S. I don't know if this will help with ACW or not, but I wrote a tutorial in 2024 on how I use ACW because many people were finding the post-2018 version a challenge to tame. The link below will take you to what I wrote.

Tom, an outstanding country rock.
Great chops man.
I was totally surprised that those vocal were synth vocals, they sounded so real that they should be a commercial for that company.
Loved it.

Thanks.
I realize a lot of people are against using AI. I was one of those. Now I feel it’s worth exploring. The whole point is what it’s always been. It’s about the song and supporting it the best way you can with the tools that you have. It certainly isn’t the easy way out . My experience is it takes a lot longer to do because of all the under the hood work. Hope you had a great day! March forth!
