Another cool performance by Eleanor! (And BGVs by Solaria)
We enjoyed the backstory for the song creation as well as the song and the video.
All the work put into this audio and video certainly paid off.
It's easy to get sidetracked by the quality of the vocals but we found the write, arrangement and RT/RD choice to be excellent. We assume that by "re-amped" you are referring to generating the track Direct Input and applying your own amp sim? Something we do on occasion.
Well done you three!
J&B

Really well done, amazing what you have accomplished with the synth vocal! I need to learn about that technology one of these days.
Also quite impressed with the video, the way you managed to sync the singer with the vocal.
Great idea for a song, quite unique, and a good hook.
Enjoyed!

Terrific work again with the synth voices and the video! I thought the choruses were perfect but there were a few (very few) stilted lines in the verses. I guess I am getting demanding now that you've become so good with the synth voices. I'll bet the average person wouldn't know the difference with this song. Keep it up, you're blazing a new trail in music and it's great to hear how it's progressing. Thank you for your kind feedback, Bob. I have no problem at all if you find problematic wording. I really appreciate any feedback because a) I'm not a native speaker and b) I still consider myself a beginner at writing song lyrics. I guess "but can't remember" and "hero on white horse" are a bit incomplete, but whatever you find, I would be happy to learn from you (and everyone else).

The hook line is great, of course ( I never go anywhere without my song lines notebook-there are endless nuggets to be gleaned from an ordinary day!), and the song you made from it irresistably enjoyable.
Simply excellent synth-pop or whatever the genre. Love the vocals and the video does the job.
Well done.
Robert Thanks for listening and your feedback, Robert. I appreciate it very much!

Nice story for the title, boring titles do not invite for listening, but yours definitely does. You have used that starting point to create a very catchy pop song which is not a huge mess Good work with the lead vocal and the backing vocals, mixed also well. The guitars sound great. Some variation in playing could add more interest, for example, held chords or instrument breaks. Very enjoyable song, reminds me of The Go-Go's. Janne Thank you, Janne, for your kind and constructive feedback. I've never heard of the Go-Go's, but I'll certainly give them a listen.

B.D.Thomas,
Very cool and catchy song!
Amazing work with the vocal synths.
I was also surprised by the video.
The mouth movements match the lyrics perfectly.
I'm very interested in how this can be done.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.

Excellent showcasing of what machines and humans can do.
Smooth tune, good pop composition, clear mix and fun title.
Thank you for sharing,

Great job Brian. Loved the guitars, and that was a really good write. This technology floors me, and you do it very well.

Really good tune . . . man, that vocaloid is just so well done. Terrific harmonies to boot. Got a cool 80’s vibe to this and a great hook. Very impressive tune!
All my best,
Deej
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Deej. Highly appreciated!

I really like the song and I'm quite impressed with the production of the song and video. Excellent work.
Subject matter is close to my roots. I grew on an island community near Charleston SC and spent much of my time hunting, fishing, and trapping and raising Raccoons. Many joyful memories.
Here's a photo from my younger days up a tree playing with one of my tame raccoons that you'll notice I have a dog collar and leash on her.
Charlie Thanks for your nice feedback, Charlie. I guess they do not live ONLY in dumpsters

BD, I know what a raccoon is, but I had to look up the word "dumpster".  Yes, that's where you can find them! What a great composition. The vocal synths are amazing, you know how to work them. The music is outstanding and a lovely video! Very good job. Anne-Marie Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment, Anne-Marie. Very appreciated Even when you're (sort of) fluent in a language, it's always frustrating to find yet another word you've never heard of.

All this techno music and AI synth stuff is really interesting.
Definitely some interesting aspects of this for sure. Very "pop." Thanks for listening and your feedback, David. And, yes, it is very poppy. To get out of my comfort zone and learn new things, I decided for this year to write simple, catchy songs (mostly) with lyrics, all shorter than 3 minutes. And, to be honest, I'm starting to enjoy it

B.D.Thomas,
This is really good work! The use of the synthesized vocals are super! This tech is leaving me behind! I guess I'm going to have to learn a little about it! The song is really catchy!
Thanks, Torrey Thanks for listening and your nice feedback, Torrey. Learning how to do synthesized vocals isn't that hard. You're a singer, so you already know the hardest part, which is how to make vocals sound good and how to fit them into an arrangement. The rest is just learning a new tool.

Thanks for your positive feedback Janice & Bud, glad you liked it For re-amping I used to go to a friend's studio where they have vintage amps, speakers and mics and stuff, but these days I do it less and less because the amp simulations are really good and as an owner of Native Instruments "Komplete" package I already have Guitar-Rig, so I just use that. There are better (and more expensive) simulations available, but in the context of a mix, Guitar-Rig is more than good enough.

Shigeki Adachi Thank you for taking the time to listen and respond, Shigeki Adachi. The software I use for lip sync is iClone (see https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/). It's a bit expensive, but it's great for animating 3D characters.
