Dreary Summer Day (2023 remaster) - AlexGB231 ft SOLARIA from Synth V

This song is a classic when it comes to my songs! It has one of the most amounts of lore in regards to how it came to existence, and now I'm adding in an extra part of lore in which it gets a Synth V remaster as well!

Basically, for those new, it initially formed part of a song called 'The Major Journey' as simply just the E major section of that song. Upon completing that song, I saw the potential of just this section alone to become a full song, so I extended it into what eventually became Dreary Summer Day. I also wanted to turn it into a vocal song, but at the time, I did not have Synth V, so I asked some of my university friends to help me out, and they did! And thus, one of my most classic songs came into existence and stands the test of time pretty well!

That said, one thing I think the original does kind of age a bit in is the vocal mixing. Because the singers initially didn't necessarily record them with the most professional equipment, and because I wasn't as skilled in vocal producing as I am now, the vocal mixing in the original do feel a little bit janky at times. However, now with Synth V, I feel like the mixing is definitely a lot better, and the fact that I can add as many vocal layers as I want without having to ask someone to record all the extra parts helps out a lot too!

With all that said, I hope you lot like it. And let me know whether you prefer the original version with the human vocals, or the Synth V remaster.
