This is my first original song using Synthesizer V vocals.
It was a great experience working with both voices — each brought something unique to the track.
I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
Thanks for listening!

Nice first original. Getting male and female SV voices to “fit” together can sometimes be tricky. Not sure if your dry male and wet female was intentional. Some female voices can also be very thin compared to the males. This works best for me in the chorus where her harmonies fill her out more. It’s all subjective though. nice job. Looking forward to more ordinals.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful feedback. The main theme of this song was indeed meant to be a duet, and you are absolutely right. I added more reverb to her voice to give it that distant, dreamy feel. His voice is intentionally drier and more forward, since the story is told from his perspective. I’m glad the chorus came across well. Really appreciate your insights.
Well done, thank you. Made me think of Clazziquai. 
Certainly only a subjective notion.

It’s funny, when I combine the two voices I am using, Mai and Yuma, I have to keep her volume really low, else Yume would be completely lost.
Three things that help me with vocals — and I’m still learning:
- Pro-Q with sidechain EQ – I use it to reduce frequencies that mask the vocals, including when multiple vocal tracks overlap. It helps prioritize which voice should stand out.
- Reverb + Fruity Stereo Shaper (FL Studio) – These help control perceived distance, making a vocal sound closer or further away in the mix.
- Volume panel in SynthV – I adjust note volumes to smooth out inconsistencies, since some notes naturally play louder than others.
