Moving a planet is something to get right first time. Larry Niven's A World Out of Time (1976). Technical critique: 1. when you sing a word ending in a 'd', like 'failed', change the 'd' sound to a 't' sound, this accentuates the end of the word, increasing the sense of timing, and makes it easier for your listener to comprehend. You do this sometimes in that piece, but not every time. (Was something I was taught in anglican church choral tradition in about 1981). 2. to increase your vocal tuning, create a temporary track containing the melody, and provide that track in the headphones or monitor, at a level at which you can hear both the generated melody and your voice equally, then listen for dissonance and correct your voice, ... remove the temporary track from the final mix. If you are not satisfied with your tuning, practice in that way. (Again something from choral tradition, though the other sources were the other voices around me). -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
