I'm going to have some super-picky comments, but most of them have to do with SynthV and Saros, not you.

In the intro, Saros sounds like he's singing "fool moon". The phonemes are no doubt right, because I can duplicate the problem on my machine. frown

There's no alternative in the v2 for picking an alternate take of the phoneme, so fixing something like this is tricky. You can get something closer to "full" by editing the Tone Shift parameter in the Piano Roll, and shifting the tone up or down. That forces a phoneme sampled at a different timbre, so you can sometimes get a better pronunciation.

I don't know what SynthV defaults to /uh n d/ instead of /eh n d/ or /ae n d/ for "and" (like at 0:27 and 2:22), but I usually just type "end" instead.

There are a couple points where his articulation isn't as crisp as I'd like it to be - "what do you say" sounds a bit like "zey" at 0:42, "out there" as "der" at 0:46.

But other than some minor nits that no one other than me cares about, you're done a really outstanding job with this. smile

Hi David.

Wow! Thanks heaps for all this insight. You've given me a lot of food for thought and made think about things that I haven't considered before. I appreciate all the time you took to not only listen to my song, but also to type up all these comments. I'll play around with all the information you've given me. It will help me build my understanding of Synth V greatly. I'm very grateful.

Thanks again,
--Noel
