Distant MemoriesI started writing this song a while ago so this competition was the incentive to get it finished. I used the _REALOVE style from the Xtra styles pack which seems to fit perfectly. I was trying to capture a George Benson feel but with a thicker vocal harmony sound. My guitar and vocals were added afterwards. ***** Song Summary ************* Title: Distant Memories (Realove) Key=Am , Tempo 95 Style is _REALOVE.STY (Real Love R 'n' B Jazz Fusion) RealTracks in style: ~~2580:Bass, Synth, RnBModernSub Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065 Loop in Song: Chillout\Chillout - destiny_71_drum_loop_b_minor ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 1771:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovinMuted Ev16 130 RealTracks in song: ~1042:Organ, B3, Rhythm JazzBallad Sw 085 RealDrums in style: JazzFunkGroovin^5-a:HHSdStk, b:RdSStk ******************* Enjoy!

This is really great. I LOVE the production. You did a great job capturing the George Benson sound and the Donald Fagen vocals. Could you share your production tips on the vocals? What effects did you use to achieve that Donald Fagen sound? That was platinum. What was in your channel strip dude?

What effects did you use to achieve that Donald Fagen sound? That was platinum. What was in your channel strip dude? Thanks a lot David, much appreciated. I probably take as long doing the vocals as I do the rest of the song put together if not longer. With jazz chords like these the harmonies take me much longer. Over the past year I have been working on a technique of building up multiple layers of harmonies and then mixing them in the stereo soundscape. The trick is to get the level right so that the main vocal still punches through. I am using the Multivoice Chorus on some of the vocals ("widener" preset), the S-Type console emulator that comes with Sonar Platinum and also the excellent Rematrix Solo reverb (although I also often use Breverb 2). Thoroughly enjoyed it

Receder,
This is a pro production all around. Definitely captures that Donald Fagen sound.
Very well balanced musical arrangement! The vocals are perfectly blend in the music.

Thanks again Noel. Much appreciated from someone as musically skilled as yourself.
I am hoping the inspiration doesn't dry up so that I can enter songs in all of the categories.
