If only the amount of time spent on a song made it proportionally good. crazy

I'm not sure that the voices work well on the chords you have them singing. There seemed to be some dissonance in places between the underlying chords and the vocal notes. Lite jazz chords are good in the proper places but for voices, over the music.... maybe not so much.
I agree. I think it was an experiment worth doing, and learning from. The mix in the SynthV editor was much lower, so the voices were more dominant.

I did go back and fix some of the more obvious "bum" notes. But I figured I'd let the song be what it wanted to be, and not fight it too much.

I was thinking this would be interesting as an accapella arrangement and might work better that way. But ...all that said, the chords and the vocals make for some very interesting and unpredictable changes that keep me interested and waiting to see what comes next.
Yeah, I was seeing how much of the harmony I could pile onto the voices. At the point where they were disagreeing with the instruments - which were already dissonant - it seems that dropping the instruments would be the better move.

Just a suggestion on the lyrics......
Thanks!

I'll rarely accept lyrics from other people, mostly because there was a reason I picked particular words, and am too stubborn to let them go even when the don't work. But I really enjoy seeing the direction that other people would have taken them.

Plus, it tells me where they lyrics are weak. smile

I appreciate the helpfully critical feedback!

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