Hi all, Brenda and I wrote this song a couple of years go. Recently, I revisited the production and had a play around with some things I've picked up since first putting the song together. Hopefully it's improved things. The song is all Realtracks/Realdrums and can be found at ... ... Heaven's Stairway (on Vimeo; better quality audio/video)... Heaven's Stairway (on Youtube) If anyone is interested in the music for this, a pdf of the lead sheet is available at the below link. ...

Noel,
There is SO much to like about this! Best vocal ever. To begin with.
Best cadence to the lyrics - ever. EVER! They roll off the tongue SO nicely. Nothing ever in the way, just a natural feel. Big time bravo on that. The words SING.
Cool instrumentation. The guitar... the steel... perfect. Great tracks and a great mix. Cool.

Hi Floyd, It's always good to hear from you. I've got to say, though, you've done it again! My computer monitor blushed a bright shade of red  when I put your comments on-screen. Thank you for taking time to listen and to pass on your thoughts. Your ideas always help me see my songs with new eyes and I always find that extremely beneficial. Much appreciated. All the best, Noel

Very nice work. I have seen quite a few groups in some local churches who perform this style of music.
Christian country is one of my favorites. I love a steel guitar.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Noel and Brenda,
I'm not a fan of Christian country.
But this song is completely rounded:
good lyrics, vocals and mix.
Congratulations.

Nice all the way around. Great mix -- particularly the way it supports the vocal. Really cool the way the song has such a relaxed, loose feel (and I mean loose in a very positive manner). I agree with Floyd re the way the lyrics flow -- nothing forced. I'm an old Southern rocking gospel fan and don't listen to much of the new Christian music as it seems to always have a breathy/overly angst vibe. This production is very different as it really draws you into the words - and the vocal is outstanding.

Hi Herb.
Thank you for the thumbs up. I'm with you regarding steel guitar. It's an amazing instrument. I appreciate your comments and I know Brenda will too when she reads them.
Best regards,
Noel

Hi Guenter,

Hi Janice and Bud,
I really appreciate all the positive comments. I know you'll give Brenda a huge smile, too. She'll be over the moon when she reads them. To be honest, I think good fortune was on our side when we wrote this song!
Once again, thank you!
Noel

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
