Hope you enjoy - Feedback always welcomed.

A Great rendition! Quietly inspiring, but deeply inspiring. Your choices harmonize together beautifully. Creates a sense of peace and fulfillment.

Hi Stuart.

What a fun version of this great song.
I could imagine a group of musos sitting in a lounge in a house having a great time.
I couldn’t believe that was an AI voice, had to go and look at a demo. Is Haydn the only voice you have?

I was hoping to hear some strings along the way, alas not to be.

Regards Mike L

PS Just listening to your Cat Stevens with Natalie an Haydn.

Hi MikeL

Thanks for taking a listen! You’re right strings would have added some extra juice! Hope you enjoy the other tunes. Taking a bit of a break right now but will be back!

As far as the voices, I have Natalie, Solero, Hayden and NineZero. Such amazing tech. The interface kind of works like Melodyne where you edit in a separate space/window.
