Maybe this helps explain my ill attempts at writing it out. Janice has been a melismatic singer all her life based on a love of early Black gospel, blues and jazz. When we posted this years ago it was criticized by a forum member as being too much vocal dancing. What do you say to that ... nothing but it's the way she feels it. But the song ended up being licensed a couple of times so we felt better about it. So back to my point I haven't yet heard any synth vocals in this style ... again not saying it can't be done just curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M0fEB6iWnQBud Yeah, a song is worth a thousand words  It would be tedious work to incorporate all those little bends, but this type of bending is certainly doable. But, it certainly wouldn't be as good as Janice's voice, as all the cute little voice breaks (doable with some of the synth-voices) and a certain roughness (not doable right now) add a lot of life and character to the performance. Right now (at least) the Synth V voices are too clean to have that. By the way, this forum member was wrong of course, her vocal dancing is great!

PS - there will never be a synth vocal as good as Janice sings. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is wrong. It's not a question of "if" but "when" such good and soulful singing as Janice's will be possible. But that's another discussion, I think. But I agree, that was an outstanding vocal performance.

Janice and Bud, that was absolutely outstanding.
PS - there will never be a synth vocal as good as Janice sings. Thank you Mario. When it comes to her vocals it is what it is. Almost always the first take and I’ve never even looked at her vocals in a pitch editor. But I do use them to tweak instrumental tracks. Maybe this helps explain my ill attempts at writing it out.

I think you nailed it with how clean the synth vocals are. Janice is a contralto and also has some definite edge on her vocals. Kinda like a bit of overdrive.  She has a large range as she sang very high in our bluegrass band years but the lower end has been fun exploring for the past decade or so. You do a great job with the synth vocals. I’ve no doubt they will soon dominate the ad and film industry. But there will always be the joy of live performance. But then there are robots! Bud

They sound IMO hugely more Showbox jiofi.local.html tplinklogin realistic than the examples in this link which shows it's synthetic sound in the first vocal bar.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
