It's a miracle you even finished it after all that consideration and advice![quote]
Oh, no - it was really helpful to get all that advice from floyd jane.

It was interesting to hear what Suno did to the song. I suspect that we're about to be engulfed in a tidal wave of AI generated music, and I worry about the future of PG Music. This forum is a great community, and is one of the few places I enjoy being on line.

[quote]I think it's a sweet, straightforward song, with great vocals!
Thanks! smile

As Alan already wrote, it's from the 70s, and all the girls used to sing along, because they always knew the lyrics by heart.
There's one thing I would have done differently: the strings. They could use a bit more volume.
They are so nice in this type of song.
Thanks for that as well. Mixing strings is a tricky thing, and I don't have a good feel for it yet. I tend to make them too loud (like the background vocals) instead of making them blend.

My daughter had a listen to the song, and mentioned that she didn't even hear the strings. laugh

I also should have another go through the arrangement, now that I know use MuseScore better. When I wrote the arrangement, I didn't even know how to put the chord symbols in, or add section markers. There are spots where the strings are too busy, and others where what's happening doesn't match well enough against the melody. I ran the strings against the vocals last night, and certainly have more thoughts about it. smirk

Thanks for stopping to comment!

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