I listened to her treatment on your Vietnam translation Song. And I could hear it! Volume. This cheapie Dell laptop plays things so low I can't hear it. But I heard yours.
I like your Rob B. Project. The way it can all work now is ready made.
Some of the pros used the internet during the Coronavirus Pandemic of the Early 21st Century, zapping contributions back and forth since they couldn't get into the same room and do it. And it worked to their satisfaction.
The AI 'tools' leave less specific control to the Song-Writer, but people are expressing satisfaction with it.
Keep exploring. The possibilities are endless.

Gary, thanks so much for listening and for the kind words. Yes, Tara-Lynn absolutely still has her chops! She really brought that song to life, and I’m glad it cut through even on a stubborn laptop speaker.

I’ve always enjoyed collaborating with talented people from different parts of the world, even though remote collaboration can actually be more challenging than being together in a studio. This project/thread really shows that writing at a distance (like you and I did in the past) isn’t always easy, but it can be very rewarding.

Tara-Lynn is a joy to work with because she instinctively knows what a song needs. She can handle everything - lead vocals, backing parts, and harmonies - with ease. I’ve always enjoyed working with her and hope we can do more projects together in the future.

AI tools may loosen some of the traditional hands-on control, but I agree: if the end result connects, that’s what matters. I’m enjoying exploring what’s possible, and comments like yours definitely encourage me to keep going.

Thanks again—much appreciated.
