Letters to Johny by Miira I have started this year by collaborating with a talented Finnish singer/songwriter Miira. Before sharing her take on my song, I would like to introduce her with her great bluesy song, Letters to Johny, for which I made the backing track with BIAB. I used the audio chord wizard to find the chords from the original version and then I used instruments from _RELIVE style as such with only small modifications to the pan/reverb/tone settings. I received her vocal track with effects, so you may notice some reverb differences with other instruments. I hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying her excellent song and beautiful voice.

Janne,
I enjoyed your collaboration.
The chorus is really upbeat and catchy - a contrast to the moodier feel of the verses. Terrific vocal and some interesting chord changes there ( so the chord wizard really works!).
It would be nice to see the lyrics.
Robert

Hello, Janne
Really nice tune. Good vocals and Harmonies.
I enjoyed your collaboration.
The chorus is really upbeat and catchy.
It is very interesting to use blues chord progression and pops chord progression together.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Janne,
You've done a great job!
I have to say that Miira is a terrific singer! She nestles into your backing really snugly, like a hand in a custom-made glove. I love the way the melody moves against the rhythm and blues. Your mix has definitely brought out the very best in both the music and the singer.
As I listened, I got thinking and that led to the below comment. I've included it simply as food for thought in case it's useful information.
I don't know if it's my hearing (this is quite possible), but it seemed to me that the bass guitar and the organ were sometimes having a bit of a fight with bass note clashes. I had a look at the notation for the organ (RT 2734) and while it looks like it should be alright, the organ sound seems to have a 16' voice added which adds notes into the mix that are one octave lower than those written. I found myself thinking that it would be interesting to try an EQ effect on the organ track that is either a 'low shelf' or a 'highpass' filter set at around 150-200 Hz. Removing these lower frequencies would reduce the potential for bass-note clashes. While such a filtered track mightn't sound as good solo'd, it might work better in the mix.
Overall, there is absolutely no doubt that your adventure with ACW and fitting vocals to a BIAB backing has been an outstanding success!
At the end of the journey, I found myself thinking, "He's done a REALLY great job with this!"
All the best,
Noel

Thank you Noel, your comments are always so encouraging  thanks for appreciating my work, and especially Miira's singing and her composition. Good point about the organ, I didn't pay attention to that, but I guess I have to start practicing my ears to notice this kind of details :-) Janne
