I seem to recall I gave it a go a few times, but it was always a bit tricky with a cassette and the pause button!

However, once I got a Minidisc deck [[1995) you could edit/chop/change a track so...

This perhaps?

You might be right on both counts!

I know that one approach to cloning a voice of a singer is to use the AI to learn parts or passages of their voice, preferably from an isolated vocal [from a...

Here's another from the 'SOTB', which clearly is from a J5/Motown track.

And this one which sounds to me as if it's used elements from a Hot Wax/Invictus tune.

It seems this a new trend to make AI generated comedy songs, as since I heard the this song, I keep getting recommendations for these tracks on YT!

Now, some are better, and funnier than others,...

I agree to both, although in the case of the latter, this channel has some of the better ones I've come across.

But when you listen for the second and third time, you can indeed start to hear that...

Aye aye, [or is it Ai ai?] ;)

Very interesting!

Seems this person has 'discovered' a few more like that for their channel!

Yes, one would assume, but it does not sound like Johnny Bristol to me, or indeed Harvey Fuqua.

[I did post a comment on the video asking if it was Harvey, but then it had been a long time since...

Good find MS!

I meant to post this a while back, but had forgotten - just a shame it is not the whole song!

The main reason I was going to post it was to ask if anyone had any ideas who it was...

A brand new master of the 'A Collection of 16 Big Hits' series from the original album tapes would make a nice box set and/or available individually!

Ralph,

It's interesting how sometimes producers, artists, and musicians won't or are reluctant change their mindset when a new studio can be used for recording, or new technology and production...

Here is a great video posted by Joe Chambers talking to Bob Babbit & Paul Riser in Studio A.

You can clearly see the isolation rooms during...

Thanks for that info Ralph - very interesting.

I often wondered if anyone using them during a session or later on for overdubs felt, if like you, and if you'll excuse the pun 'isolated', as from...

Ralph, prior to about mid 1966 I think, there were indeed no additional rooms for overdubs in Studio A, but two new isolation rooms on the right hand of the studio side [if you were looking down from...

As Bob Olhsson has pointed out in the past, from the early days of Motown [2 track tape] Berry would normally cut the band tracks first and overdub the vocals at a later date, and sometimes at...

My favourite Felice Taylor track from this period has always been 'I Can Feel Your Love' which I first heard via this excellent Kent compilation : -

That's the one Graham!

I note in the preface, Rob Bowman asks if anyone can put him in contact with Tom along with a few other important people from Stax that he could not track down.

There's a picture supposedly of Tom at Stax in Rob Bowman's excellent book 'Soulsville USA'.

He recorded and mixed many of the classics at Hitsville [DM code letter X] until he left it would seem...

Very interesting clipping - thanks for posting.

Welcome Sh1974.

This is the place to learn! ;) :D

Good thread!

And nice to see and confirm the different mixes/versions that were used.

On the 1966 CD, Kim Weston's 'Helpless' is an unedited stereo mix with the extra verse that starts with...

R.I.P Greg Perry.

A very talented producer and artist.
