I have been following your journey although haven't been commenting ...
Well, thank you for commenting now, it's much appreciated.
]]>That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.
How did you create that choir and the rapper voice? Is it an AI tool? I think it might be of interest to many viewers of this thread. Perhaps you mentioned it in a previous thread.. sorry if I missed it.
Thanks for expressing your appreciation Niclas.
In answer to your questions...
I used Yamaha's Vocaloid 6 for the choir combined with Waves' Audio plugin, Waves Harmony to thicken each of the four parts. The rapper is a voicebank from Dreamtonics called Ritchy and I used their Synthesizer V software to make him both rap and sing.
Both Vocaloid and Synthesizer V use AI to suggest realistic settings for the vocals which can be over-ridden for artistic considerations.
Being a British English speaker, I tend to tweak the suggested 'tuning' to my taste. In the above example, I left Ritchy to sound Bronx American for the contrast with the Choir.
It's all great fun!

Final upload on this small choral ditty...
What's changed
- Rapper set into the same reverb space as the organ and choir
- Drums set into the same reverb space also
- Rapper also sings last refrain
- Rapper's intonation changed to be less annoying
I have been following your journey although haven't been commenting all the time. Nice reading ...drums set into same reverb. I remember I have somewhere mentioned something similar regarding piano sound.
Now, this is your best work to date. Bravo! Like it much.
Best wishes,
Stig

]]>This ditty is particular... But really well orchestrated, really very pleasant to listen to.
particolare = peculiar / strange / unusual / bizarre (in this context)
Yes, it is peculiar mixing choir, organ and rapper - but that was the fun of making it. I don't like rap music, never listen to it and thought I'd challenge myself to compose something akin to it.
Thanks for commenting; It's truly appreciated!

We are powerful,
When we're wonderful,
Helping others plentifully.
We are loveable.
When we're comfortable,
Helping others punctually!

Hey! Reach out; Shout out,
There's no doubt; We can help out
Just say it; Don't sweat it,
We'll help; We'll pay it
Stop delaying; Keep going; Keep praying!
]]>Although I didn't present (m)any alternatives, I'm going with the RAP... (I hope to learn something!)
What's now starting to change
- Change of words to last choir chorus
- Hopefully a better RAP section
- Subtle changes to tempo transitions
Remember these are ideas in the ethos...
Now with Bad Rap middle section (Hilarious)

I don't particularly like Rap, but thought I'd challenge myself to get the computer to do some - needs a lotta, lotta work !!!

A Capella

Let's start with a simple 4-bar Choral especially composed for the occasion...
It sound's like this:

Now let's add some words and harmony...
Initially arranged as a SATB 4-part Choral in the loose style of Bach.
