Thanks to the magic of sample libraries and plugins, anybody who knows how to use a DAW has access to almost any instrument these days, including Mellotron, Moog, and even piccolo trumpet. No AI needed!

On topic: AI vocals do seem to benefit a lot from the source being in the same singing style, this being a very good example.

Hi guys! This is my Strawberry Fields cover. Thank you so much for the kind comments. I noticed a certain reticence to share AI stuff on Hoffman forums as well and I was happy to find this thread!

As someone mentioned above, singing close to the singers style helps a lot. I've been doing that for many, many years now. And I just sat at my piano with the original 1969 snippet in mind, trying to capture Paul's playing and singing nuances and inflections at the time. I think there is a nice, respectful way to use AI voices and I really believe that's the way to go.

Thank you for the appreciation!

suffragette, I love your version of Strawberry Fields. Feel free to post any of your work here because I for one would love to hear them.

Suffragette,

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for ..... AI

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me .... AI

Ray Davies ( almost)


I think this is very nice done.

Flabbyroad...

this is among my favorite A.I (I don't spit on A.I models when it sounds that good and so natural (so to speak); the fragment of Paul singing Strawberry Fields Forever is well known from the Get Back sessions; it's amazing how you succeeded in doing a perfect impersonation of the complete song, and the final touch being the A.I vocal model; but it's your job and talent; the respectful approach is obvious when you listen to this complete reconstruction of Paul's Strawberry Forever because it shows how much you know Paul's vocals from this era, each inflection: you probably spent days and nights to listen to bootleg like me - all the models directly applied wouldn't work like this.
This is the best work I have head using A.I in the Beatles world : I have put a comment about A Pillow For Your Head/i] - is it you on the youtube video ?

Perhaps you could finish "It's For You" - Paul's fragment from the acetate; but it's not Paul 1970.
Or "The Back Seat Of My Car" just piano from the Get Back sessions.

One thing I would love to hear is a complete "Help!" fall 1970 piano demo; John did not know how to "convert" the chords on piano for the chorus; thus he struggled and stopped here.
But I guess that John is perhaps not your "speciality" and above all I have never heard so far a convincing John Lennon A.I model.

I think Youtuber Dae Lims does a pretty good Lennon vocal/model.

yes I check regularly his youtube page, but he never did "Help!" piano demo 1970 ? All I heard is Return To Pepperland; and a lot of Beach Boys, including the amazing Ocean Pacific Blues song by Dennis Wilson; and more recently even Michael Jackson..
perhaps I did not check the good youtube account ? Does Dae Lies has several Youtube account ?
