The Answer

By Nueli on October 1, 2024 8:14 am

First time working with vocals, somehow. I generated them using the basic TTS system from Google.

The lyrics are Lizzie Magie's poem "The Answer" published in 1892:

> I am an atom in the universe ;
> I am composed of myriads of atoms
> That are each composed of countless atoms more.
> I am a moving, breathing, living human being.
> I am I !
> I see, I hear, I feel, I speak.
> I *think* of this vast wilderness of worlds,
> The universe, and the thought affords me pleasure.
> *Can it* think of me ?

Good idea with the poem. The voice sounds quite good and provides an excellent backdrop for the cinematic breakbeats.

Nitpick: use some multiband maximizer on master for this to slap much harder. And add a bona fide sub bass track. Then you'll transform a good track into great! (and when exporting to mp3, leave room for the reverb to decay)

Thanks for the nitpicks, that's how you improve smile
