The drop from the piano only intro into extended intro was a bit odd.
You need to make the male vocal as clear as the vocaloid OR visa versa.
Interesting stuff.

Interesting stuff. Hi rayc, Thanks for listening and the critique. Regarding your comment that male vocal in verse not as clear as female, this was a conscious decision on my part. I wanted to convey that the man was in a dream world, glassy eyed, not thinking clearly, incapacitated with infatuation and that the woman was thinking clearly, and being real with the situation. To do this I put some delay and reverb with a long decay on the male vocal. Also, it’s volume lower to put further back in the mix. I think the song ended up being a bit too long, so shortening the intro would be a good place to start, though I don’t think it would sound right going immediately into the “Oh Yeah”s.

Very interesting Mark... Nicely done... I wonder what it would sound like if you had the male/female voices... Panned more right & left from each other... Overall I enjoyed the listen... BTW don't wait so long to post a new one... The last one I heard was "A Worthless State of Mind" back in January

We don't hear enough Piano-Pop on the forum, I think. This is a very spritely number. The piano RT is clearly the star and flows over the rest of the backing with a lot of power and interest. I really enjoyed listening.

It's really cool to see your reasoning behind using the male vocal and saying that you wanted to give off the feeling of them being in a dream world. I think you definitely conveyed that!

Ember

Mark,
A bright pop sound. I liked the vocaloid- it suits the song. Your explanation of the male/female vocal balance makes sense, though panning the male voice further l/r might make it more effective."oh yeah`s"fit nicely.
Lovely rolling piano track.
Robert

Mark,
This brings me back to—well, hate to date myself—but 80’s dance clubs; excellent vibe here. It’s not exactly my type of tune, but it’s an impressive effort, weaving together some compelling sounds. Liked it—nice production.
BTW, I have no idea what a Vocaloid is? Anyone have interest in educating a poor, ignorant soul? Thanks much.
Regards,
Deej

Wow - what an interesting and captivating tune! Delightfully upbeat, and definitely a change of pace from the usual content found on the showcase. I thought the arrangement and mix was on point too - sounds really professional. Thanks for sharing

Also, Mark - Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer software original developed by Yamaha. Basically it makes an artificial electronic human voice, and it often very distinct.

Cool hearing a markedly different genre on the forum. Great display of digital power with both Biab and Vocaloid. Been a while since we've had a post with Vocaloid. REALLY well done. Stick around J&B

Nice dance rhythm, brings some memories from the 20th century. That Vocaloid fits well in this type of song, I remember when it was trend to use the same vocal sample in several songs.
