Studio-One used for arranging and mixing. Only one Real track (2618 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Funk16thsMutedWahWah Ev16 100) which nicely added some needed extra percussive rhythm. My BPM was 124, but the Real track set at 100 still transformed nicely. Vocaloid used for synthesized vocals. Had a hard time deciding which genre to categorize this; Hip-Hop/Rap seemed most appropriate. Lyrics: Chorus (Female): Ain't gonna go nowhere All I'm trying to say - Yeah Ain't gonna go nowhere Yeah yeah yeah yeah I thought you had to go - but I see I'm what you craving Pretty girls don't need to shout Now come 'n catch me, I'm what you craving I apologize for misunderstanding Cause I'm autistic - Yeah It's just the way I am Keep on forgetting who I am (Its a joke) On the surface calm 'n steady Nervous now I'm woke (Yeah, Yeah) Grab your skinny ankles Not goin to drift away, what are you thinking Repeat Chorus Looking side on your drinking Baby, we don't feel pain (Ouch) Let's own it, not miss our chance We only got one shot - grab the opportunity Follow me to the Weston mall by way of the Golden Gate Pull you sideways, forward, left Don't jump, the waters deep Skinny dip, the weathers warm - dive in deep We'll succeed, harmony is love Yeah, cash is low 'n the dog needs to feed ( Yeah, Yeah) My keytar is a weapon when its unencumbered Got to keep with the flow, beat this to the ground Repeat Chorus: This is how I talk, singing rhymes to the beat Without the song I freeze (Burr ) Spent time with you 'n never looking back No losing power, run while we're strong My heart victim to this love Captive makes me free from pain (All I'm trying to say - Yeah) Build a castle, best days ahead Winds from the west, never changing (Yeah yeah) Male and Female together: Male: Kiss the strings, pound the keys Shining like a holiday Unexpected tea this morning Eyes tell the story - beat this to the ground Female: Ain't gonna go nowhere All I'm trying to say - Yeah Ain't gonna go nowhere Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The additional distortion makes they nigh impossible to understand. Which isn't to say that I didn't enjoy the song. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I am able to do alright with the female Vocaloid, but like you say, getting the sound I want and clarity with the male is difficult. I'm been having issues with singing myself - so the Vocaloid - hope to have things cleared up soon. Mark

Having the male voice a bit more clear would be all that is needed. The musical tracks work well. And are well mixed. Sounds good. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Funny and cryptic lyrics, "My keytar is a weapon when its unencumbered" I got Middle East music vibes from the rhythm and the melody. Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

One of the strangest tunes I've heard in a while, and also one of the most interesting uses of Vocaloid I've ever come across. It's simultaneously dizzying and catchy, and works surprisingly well. Thanks for sharing Cheers, Deryk

Hard to understand the words if it wasn't for the printed lyrics. I drifted in thought and when I tried to find my place again.... nope... Musically, this is really pretty good. Creative for sure.

Reminiscent of Mary Poppins and Harry Potter stories somewhere. I think that it is also influenced by the key being minor. I think Vocaloid has been used successfully in this tune. The same melody was repeated many times, so it was a little monotonous as a whole, but it was a very fun song. Enjoyed my listen lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

A great backing track - that bass and the drums caught me completely. As to the vocals: If you're not too keen on having them understood by the listener without reading them parallely, they sound great. Otherwise I think getting them is quite a challenge. But since you provided us with the lyrics I really enjoyed the song very much.
