Suno may also be an option.


Thanks very much for the feedback and pointers. Glad the mix translated well on your high-end system. Re the vocals... think I'll skip Suno because AFAIK they own the right to output, but might explore competitors. I've seen some walkthroughs for Synth V and also heard some demos in this forum which are very impressive, although, having worked with similar tools in the past, I suspect it can take a lot tweaking sometimes. Which is sometimes OK. Having said that, I do enjoy working within self-imposed constraints sometimes, like Mimi's limited selection of per scale phrases, versus rolling my own and opening too many choices - I tend to over-explore possibilities sometimes, which can be fun but can also lead to a mountain of unfinished projects smirk
