Thanks! Let me know what you think!

Very nice tune! Simple and catchy, with quirky and funny lyrics. Music video is also great. I guess I don't have anything constructive feedback to add, really.

Did you use any software to tweak your voice?

[dan29]

Hey thanks a lot! I'm not the strongest singer (as you may be able to tell ) so I did use Melodyne Plugin to tune my harmonies in the choruses, makes it a whole lot nicer to listen to!

[Mordi]

Ah. Good job on that as well. I think the singing wasn't bad at all. In fact it was good, and I didn't notice any "robotification" in the voice (as a result from Melodyne). I've used that program too, and it can be tricky not to make it sound robot-like. At least in my experience.

I find that if you use it on single vocal lines you are more likely to hear the robot-y effects than if you use it on blocks of harmonies, so I just tend to use it on chorus-type vocals now. Its best if you spend a while trying to get them as good as possible, then use melodyne subtly on top (you can set the "amount" of pitch correction, so play around with that to get a good balance between perfect pitch and robot voices)

Hahahaha, I love this. This is fun, silly and well produced. ^w^ Lyrics are fekkin' awesome. Downloading teh MP3s now.

Vocals are a tad loud IMO- but I'm sure it's not a huge problem. Also, yeah, I can tell it's Melodyne'd- but actually done well. ^w^
