"Love Sublime" ======================= See you at our spot outside of town; Don't come out until the sun goes down. How I'd love to kiss you in the daylight; Worried that I'll miss you 'less we play right. We long to be free, where all can see, To share the sun, the morning. But what can we do--our love's taboo; A glance may earn a warning. Praise the time when secrets won't be needed. Days of love when reason has succeeded. How do we offend thee? What misdeed is our crime? A love that you label "unsightly"? -- For us, love sublime! ===================== Built this up from the ground, didn't use a BIAB style Used a few RT's for bass and guitar.

Tano, You certainly got a way creating these outsider tunes  Good one! Arrangement is not over complicated, yet very tasteful. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha. I've read that you had some suggestions about vocal treatment.. Hope you do not find my question intruding. I listened to quite a few of your tunes.. Did you use the same microphone on most of them? There is a certain metallic character in vocals and I was just wondering if this is how you wanted it or it is a microphone effect. If it is not a trade secret, what microphone do you use?

The lyrics and music walk wistfully hand in hand, perfect match! I really enjoy the light Latin groove. The melody has nice downward movement in the verses and then interesting upward movements in bridge parts. The piano melody parts are also very beautiful.

I like this. The bossa and latin feel to the backing track is very enticing. Good lyrics too, they hint at a story behind the song. The melody fits quite well. I wish the vocals were spaced a bit closer and evenly, but that's just my take.

Hi Tano,
You made a very nice Latin(ish) song.
And those lyrics! I enjoy lines like 'Praise the time when secrets won't be needed. Days of love when reason has succeeded'.
But I also have the same question as Misha asked about your mike or fx-settings on the vocal track. You have created a somewhat unique effect on the vocals. Or perhaps it is just your voice...
Let me know!
Stay safe,
Hans

Hi Hans...thanks...I'm really not that knowledgable about vocal processing, and I probably play around too much with my iZotopes Nectar choices to try to get a nice sound--then kind of throw my hands up and figure "well, that sounds good enough". Just not a strong focus for me, but I'm taking suggestions from the forum on how to improve it. Thanks again for listening.

Excellent lyrics: What an opening line! "See you at our spot outside of town" --that really brings you in at the start. Sounds like a bit of forbidden love and rendezvous.
I really dig the instrumentation.
I read your comment about using Nectar 3 and saying that it's good enough. That's me too! I can't hear the frequencies everybody else hears with auditory nerve damage, so I have to trust Izotope for the most part.

Good Early Morning ...
Latin Jazz, Smooth Jazz and Smooth R&B are mine and Di's favorite genres. And this checks all the boxes for excellent Latin Jazz. Sure did enjoy my listen ... soft and easy on the ears and soul. Thanks for three minutes, or so, of great entertainment.
Best to you ... and please be safe ...

A perfect intro leads into a sensational delivery.
How absolutely pleasant.
The breaks are perfect, intriguing, creating just the right amount of tension and resolution.
Extraordinarily good.

This is really a good song. Love the "But what can we do--our love's taboo; A glance may earn a warning." line. Great lyrics! Super Latin rhythm section. Your vocal is strong but IMHO a little reverb would take it over the top. YMMV

There' is almost a very slight ring modulation halo around the vocal.
That sort of thing can occur as an artefact of background noise scrubbing and other processing like digital tuning.
The string arrangement is nice.
