It is the third version of this song and the third arrangement. I sang the first version myself and my voice is used in this version as well and I added AI singing and my voice morphed in Vocoflex. I also AI singing morphed and transposed the vocals in Vocoflex. Asterian sings below me and Nyl, Cong Zheng and Natalie in my octave above me.

Another explanatory comment is on SoundCloud and there is also a link to the text translated into English.
So many voices… they seem out of place to me for this type of song. Other than as an experiment or learning experience, I wonder why you went with all those singers together throughout? I like the music groove a lot, but the vocals sort of overwhelm the misc for me.
hi gauzde
Nice version, but in the old forum I commented
Your voice is good for this music as is, I think
I actually like your 1st version best !
The vocal a tiny bit more up front, you would have been done
I like pure vocals, you have one, use it, don’t hide it
You don’t need A.I - you need more confidence:)
I take your criticism, but I rather expected it to be less acceptable to you, that the placement of the vocals is unusually low. Placing the vocals lower was my intention. I am an amateur singer who is always helped by a two-part or three-part with someone else. My oldest recording, which I sing by myself, has significantly the lowest listenership, although it has been significantly longer here on Soundcloud. So far, the recording with Asterian leads, which is also sung by Asterian himself, but he sings it more interestingly (I taught him that) and has a fuller voice (thanks to Eric Halloway). There are only three voices in the whole recording in this latest version of the song, and only in the chorus, which is only one, all five of us sing. Musicians and singers tell me if I want to be more successful, I should sing higher. However, the prevailing thing for me is that I create and sing for my own joy and my work is not financially valued. I only get paid for lyrics for music other authors I’ve written for professional bands. I like to listen to your music sometimes, like the music of others here. I value the opinion of each and every one of you. And I understand your criticism. But I am 74 years old and music is my solace for the remaining time I have.
You’re right, but that’s your professional opinion that carries professional weight. But the listeners are more comfortable with me, my perhaps somewhat dilettante approach that I demonstrate here. That’s why the differences in listenability in all variants. In the first recording, my voice is further from the microphone and I also sang on my older microphone. Today, I have the opportunity to sing under the supervision of an expert on a newer type of microphone, at an order of magnitude more expensive. I will use that in my new songs. I won’t sing this one again. Otherwise I need AI. As I teach the AI singers to sing, I learn from them at the same time. I also have singer friends who are better at singing than me, but I have a chance to perform some of these songs live with them and that will be an experience for me. Also, for the sake of interest, the AI singing, to which it is necessary to tune the singing in Czech, when I subconsciously correct their mistakes in pronunciation, causes me to remember the text more easily than when I diligently learn it mechanically.
I will be looking forward to your future projects gauzde:)
I feel as though I could have written this post myself! I’m in the same boat as you!! Keep up the great work!!
