I am having heaps of fun with Synthesizer V. As my second adventure with the vocal synthesizer, I thought I would try creating a duet for the vocaloids Natalie and Kevin. This is a song that I wrote in 2016. At the time, I did not write it as a duet, but Natalie and Kevin have now opened the door to a whole new world of possibilities. Here is where that doorway has taken me so far... ♫ Every Single Day (Natalie & Kevin) (Lyrics on Soundcloud)As always, please feel free to comment on any aspect of the song and its production. --Noel The BIAB BandMandolin: RT3080 Mandolin, Rhythm AmericanaPop8thsAndy Ev 100 Mandolin: RT3079 Mandolin, Soloist BluesyPopAndy Ev 100 Guitar: RT362 Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 Bouzouki: RT2209 Bouzouki, Rhythm CountryPop Ev 085 Bass: RT701 Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 Drums: CajonFolkPop8ths The ProductionDAW: Reaper Bass: Renaissance Bass VST3 Guitar: ReaEQ, Reaper plugin Mandolin: ReaEQ Vocals: Synthesizer V with voice banks Natalie & Kevin, Nectar 3 Overall Production: Ozone 10

Noel,
This is absolutely superb...
Kevin & Natalie sound like two humans - hard to believe this is Synth V. You also have somehow managed to get Kevin to sound like you! Similar inflection and delivery. Very cool!
Love it! Great song, vocals and production. This raises the bar.

Bob Hi Bob. Thank you for taking the time to listen. Because I've spent so much time with Kevin and Natalie, I am unable hear if they sound realistic or not. All I know is that I have reached the end of my ability to tweak them any further so I'm hoping that that is a good sign. I think Kevin has overtones of me because I tend to shape his phrases in a way that replicates how I would sing them. Now if I can manage to get Synth V to create an Australian accent for Kevin, the sky is the limit! I appreciate your comments. Thanks for the smile they brought me  All the best, --Noel

Noel,
Well done.
The harmonies are Stunning!!!
(Using the synths as BGVs seems a truly useful tool!!)
Enjoyed hearing the song again. Nice update...

This feels so much like one of your writes. The positive lyrics, the phrasing - it's got your fingerprints all over it even with different singers. A GPS that steers me safe and sureHa! Fun line. Cool melody, nice arrangement, and the singers do a good job. Pleasant listen! Having singers available to do harmonies is cool, right? Plus. they're patient no matter how many rewrites you give them.

Beautiful melody and lyrics, nice lines like "highway paved with mystery". The song and Synth V voices work very well as a duet. Kevin's voice is a bit unnatural on his lower range, but I guess I just pay attention to it, because I have worked with Kevin so much. Natalie's voice breathes nicely. A pleasant folky song that sends me on vacation to a sunny sandy beach.

Noel, those synth vocals sound so real, especially during the harmonies.
Super song and mix.
You are getting really good with those synths!

Bob Hi Bob! Thank you for your kind words It's good to know that I'm on the right track with Synth V. One of these days, I'm going to see if I can get a slight hint of Australian accent into the vocals That will be interesting. All the very best, --Noel

fj Gidday, floyd Thanks for dropping by. I agree about using Synth V for background vocals. One of my near-future aims is to get Realband to create some harmonies and then see if I can use them to create MIDI that will work well with Synth V. I've got a feeling that this could be a pretty big thing if it can be done. Thanks for taking the time to listen and to pass on your thoughts. All the best, --Noel

I like the tone of the voices.
I'm wondering if the phrasing could be made to sound more natural by altering the phrasing slightly as it's very much on the on beat.
Not sure whether this is possible on the synth. but it would be great to try, I think.
Amazing stuff.
Vic

This is beautiful! Simple and clear. Kevin and Natalie sound great, the song communicates its own message easily, and what a beautiful message it is ... what to say? You inspire me ... I'd love to have your talent for expressing yourself so beautifully and so easily (seemingly, at least), in music. No worries - I learn, from you and (indeed) from everyone on here, each time I listen Thanks for making my morning brighter!

Hi Noel,
Man, I continue to be amazed at what can be accomplished these days with the synth vocals! Natalie sounds great, not mad about Kevin when he is singing solo, but he sounds good mixed in with Natalie.
Good song too, enjoyed everything about this.

I listen to lots of songs on this forum, but often can't really say much, so re this one, it was just really enjoyble. Well done.

Fabulous song and, again, it's 100% Noel phrasing so works for me. Kevin sounds a little rough in a few spots but Natalie is a revelation.

Noel,
This is beautifully done. For a newbie to the vocaloids, you are doing an amazing job. The harmonies work so well here . . . just wonderfully done. Production and mix are stellar. Loved it!
My very best to you,
