Hi guys and gals..... I put together another of my old tunes from the late 70s. Did a remake of the tune using the following process as best as I can remember: Let Me Walk Close By Your SideImported the chords from an old original midi file into BIAB chose a basic country ballad style Made new arrangement of chord changes, intro, couple of piano bridges, part markers, tempo, etc. Then selected a realstyle that was compatable. After the basic structure was complete I saved it as a .mgu file in case I wanted to mess with it some more. Opened the .mgu in RB, added a real track or two, Played the piano part in live from a yamaha keyboard. Then coverted any midi tracks One or two, I don't recall for sure into audio tracks and applied effects to each track. Recorded the lead vocal, then did some backup vocals and asked my wife to help with that, so she agreed and it became her debut recording of a semi serious nature. teaked the vocals a little, then applied global effects for the finish and merged the dxi and audio tracks into a Mp3. So what you hear is what came out of it. Let me know if you have any suggestions that might help the mix in anyway. Thanks

What a wonderful song I really enjoyed listening to this, toucher; it's beautiful. There's nothing that sounded out of place. The vocals, melody, arrangement and production work hand in hand to give a very polished work. To my ears, this sounds professionally produced. Your wife has done a fantastic job with the harmony Best regards, Noel

Super song!

Hi all, sorry it took awhile to get back to you. Glad you liked the tune. It was always one of my favorites. I still sing it today from time to time at different churches. My wife was excited that her harmony work was well received. Thanks for the listen. sounds like I shouldn't mess with it too much more eh?

Thanks to all who have taken the time to reply. I especially enjoy comments from those who's work I have heard and respect. Hopefully I'll get some of these gospel songs assembled and mastered well enough to put a CD together. More for the sense of accomplishment than anything, as well as the potential that others may receive a blessing or some encouragement from the music.

Toucher,
As I sit here listening I am thinking that this may be your best effort yet, and yes the harmonies were spot on so buy the wife a new car, or at least a new pair of shoes.
Later,

Thanks Danny, I seem to be getting better at this mixing mastering thang, thanks to the help from all the great people here at the forum. Wifey is tickled pink that it turned out well. Maybe I should get her a new guitar or something......cept she doesn't play, but what the heck, maybe she'll learn.

Toucher,
Just be checking in a week or so - but I've already picked up a lot of good tips going back through the posts.
I truly love the music you've posted - look forward to more.

I couldn't play this song too loud since it is late at night right now, but I liked the feeling of it, eventhough on this soundlevel I hardly can understand what it is about, neither I can judge about the mix very well, on this volume it sounds good anyway. So to be short, sounds like a nice song with a very good atmosphere. And well, in fact it is not even my style of music, but hey I like it! Okay continued: I decided to go to your website and check the other songs. Man, you sound very nice! I might end up liking this style of music one day!
