I used to be able to do a pretty decent Barry Gibb. We'll see,

Okay, I've written the song and I've recorded the vocals. They are hysterical. I hope AI can do them justice because my voice is almost comical doing Barry Gibb. LMAO.

Just make sure that your flared trousers are super tight around the crotch and you'll be fine :wink:

You're like the Rutles of the Bee Gees. :lol: Great arrangement and mastering. Really nicely balanced. I know how difficult that is. I felt like putting on a gold chain and unbuttoning my shirt... except I don't own a gold chain and I'm wearing a Totoro teeshirt. :lol:

My one complaint, and I completely fail at this as well, is that I'm wishing you ran the vocals though Melodyne. They're sometimes off in just the right way to make it hard for me to listen to... which is why I also always run my vocals though Melodyne before I release them. I'm OK in a certain range, but that range is small, and above and below... I'm always off. Don't feel bad, I feel the same way about Frank Sinatra. (my distant cousin!)

Vocals are tough for me and I don't own Melodyne so I do the best I can. Anyway, thanks for the listen and the feedback. Much appreciated.

I just checked out Melodyne. Way too much for just editing vocals. I can't justify the expense.

I just use the Melodyne Essential version, which is fine for me. $99. You might find it cheaper in the market thread.

Anyway, I don’t want you to have hard feelings about this. I curse my voice everyday. I’ve worked hard on it, and no matter what, I’ve never been able to extend the working range that much. I’m always flat at the top of my range and sharp at the bottom. I accept it like I did my clumsy hands, which excludes me from being able to shred, like a proper modern guitarist. :band: Now I’ve abandoned even pitch correction for Synthesizer V synthetic voices, as they’ve become so good.

I’ve realized my talent has always been in song writing and I think I have a good grasp of interesting song arrangement. I’m ok at the mixing and mastering, though not at your level. I accept this. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying actually goes, so I’m not as fussy as I used to be about the process, which the audience couldn’t care less about.

I pretty much feel the same way. My vocals are the weak link in my chain. Maybe I'll check out synthesizer V. I do have Vocaloid but it doesn't sound anything close to realistic.
