Very pretty song!! If these are "scratch" vocals, I can't imagine how great the final take will be. IMO, the drums are too loud and too dry. Otherwise, everything sounds wonderful. What kind of processing did you use on the vocals? Wonderful job on this!! Take care. Greg

That is very well done!
Nice vocals. And nice production and mix.
Is the guitar lead an RT - if so, which?
I enjoyed this! Welcome to the Showcase!

Thanks Greg!
It is a scratch track so didn't worry much about levels other than obvious ones . . .
My vocal chain is basically
De-Esser - DeBreath - CLA Vocals - Vocal Rider
Blessings to you too!

Hi Floyd!
The lead is 1167.
There are a couple of ways I do leads on BIAB since "leads" are one of it weaknesses for the kind of music I write . . .
Once I get 1st phrase, I save and make new sgu . . .
I then only worry about phases I don't have that are good . . .
iow, if it is 10 bar lead, I segment and saved . . .
This happened to be about 40 regenerates and is one complete one . . . most of time I have to use 3 or 4 "partials" over the lead bars to get a full useable lead I am looking for
Blessings to you!

Hi Even?,
Welcome to the forum.
Far away from scratch. I like the vocals
and harmonies a lot.
Great production.

Hi ...
Welcome to the PG Music Users Showcase. Better than scratch, we would say. Nice vocal mix and the rest of the production sounds top shelf. Very nice!
Merry Christmas & God Bless ...

Even If . . . as in the following:
Daniel 3:17-18 (CJB)
Your majesty,
if our God, whom we serve, is able to save us,
he will save us from the blazing hot furnace
and from your power.
But EVEN IF he doesn’t,
we want you to know, your majesty,
that we will neither serve your gods
nor worship the gold statue which you have set up.”

Gorgeous song and great lyrics and presentation. My first impression on hearing the intro was Sheriff's "When I'm With You!"
