I certainly don’t consider myself the best option for anyone looking to have themselves ‘made a singer’. Not even close. But I do like a challenge and I did have fun trying. I think this is the first time I’ve ever started a mix with the vocal.

I put essesq’s vocal (from 2008) into Melodyne (basic). It auto-detected D. I made a few adjustments here and there. Then I put the vocal into Reason and played some accompanying phrases in D on keys, piano and synths (samples in the zip). Then I found a couple bass and drum grooves from Javolenus that I thought would make an appropriate starting point for the final construction.
