You - Too short?

[HumanPlanet]

This is intentionally short. Too short or just right?



Lying on this lonely bed tonight
I remember your touch, your gentle eyes
The walls are whispers, in shadows they blend
Memories of love that never ends
If you seek me, I'll be in our dream
Where silence and softness serenely beam

You're in my soul, like a sigh of relief
Your warmth is both my joy and my grief
I could cherish a thousand nights anew
And still awaken thinking of you

Is that AI?

Is that AI?

I suspect you are correct, at least synth V.

I like the subtle double time when the strumming guitars come in.

The lyrics are a sibilance nightmare though. Should be easily fixed with a touch of de-essing.

I like the song. Thumbs up.

The vocal is done in Ace Studio. I've been using it a lot, it's been in most of my recent projects.

I haven't used Synth V but I think it and Ace Studio are very similar.

I like the subtle double time when the strumming guitars come in.

The lyrics are a sibilance nightmare though.

Highlighted by the reverb 80/90's style! I think I might have a look at that.

Should be easily fixed with a touch of de-essing.

This was mixed entirely on unfamiliar headphones and it sounded ok until I heard it on my home theatre system via YouTube, then not so much.

I like the song. Thumbs up.

There will be a mix revision in due course.

Yes the vocal is what sounded like AI to me....very "uncanny valley-ness" to the vocal. I mean it is on pitch of course since it is AI, but it seemed uncanny valley where something wasn't quite right/human about it. BTW I didn't think it was too short, but I like short songs just fine and don't think there's any requirement there.

I agree that it doesn't sound 'right' yet even when done with the backing of UMG as this was:



This was done by way better producers than me and it's pretty good but still not quite 'right' to my ear but maybe that's because I know it's an ai vocal. I do think that will change soon.

BTW I didn't think it was too short, but I like short songs just fine and don't think there's any requirement there.

Sometimes you say all that needs to be said in a few words with no need for elaboration and ending it 'early' just seems like the right thing to do.

Not too long. Just wish it was a real woman's voice.

 

[dobro]

I prefer real, too, but I don't get what I want these days all the time, so this is a case of 'that's some weird shit right there, but each to their own'. It's too sibilant and it ended abruptly. One of those is a nit.

Fair enough.

Also fair enough.

I think I'm going to stop posting stuff with ai vocals on this site.

lol. Maybe you’re just ahead of your time.

@HumanPlanet. I'm old, and getting left behind by the times.

No, hold the line. I want to know what's going on, even if it doesn't talk to me. Nola speculated you're ahead of your time. That's flattering, but here's something consoling, maybe - I'm old, and increasingly out of tune with stuff that's happening - it's not you, in other words. So... you persevere, I'll tolerate, and music keeps populating the forum.
