Hi Michael,
Thanks for taking the time to review my song, Kids Want Santa. I appreciate you listening and providing your perspectives.

While I'm here I'll check out a couple more of your songs.

Be and stay well!

Hey Michael,
I just listened to your Christmas in Pink. Nice concept and solid arrangement. I've been using AI for vocals for the last six songs that I've done. I can't sing to save my life, and don't have the resources to hire vocalists for my various "pet projects" so using AI has been a lifesaver for me.

Your AI vocal has some of the artifacts that I experienced early on. What platform are you using? I've been using ACE Studio and have been getting pretty decent results as I've learned more using it.

Keep working at it and you'll get that AI vocal to really sound great.

Thanks for rattling my cage about the low volume on a sax tune you reviewed......it's a very old track but I'll fix it......



Hi Michael,
Thanks for the review of "Sunrise in the City". That's a short piece I wrote quite a while ago for a specific "use case". In fact, I was asked to compose a piece of music, about 2 to 3 minutes long for the following scene from a screenplay titled "Presidential Matters" written by Gene Adamson here in Omaha:

"Riverfront Park, Nashville: The sun begins to shine on the city, beginning a new day. The rays cut through the fog and glisten on the river, as a barge glides over the water. Homeless people sit on the riverbank, staring blankly at another day of broken dreams."

Gene loved the piece, but alas his screenplay didn't make it very far. But it was a really fun project.

Thanks again for the review and your honest perspectives.

Frank
