This is an updated "Leaning" for critique.
Too much drums and couple of bad notes, for starters.

Ed,

As I remember this is a recording of your students playing?
( Its a good idea to remind listeners who may have missed your other posts).
I`m not really qualified to critique the playing... but just wanted to say I love the feeling of the piece.
Lovely - one of my favourite hymns.

yes, please provide more info..... what tracks are used, who's playing the live stuff....how and on what software/hardware, was this recorded? Feel free to add anything else that would help us help you.

and.. what kind of critique are you looking for? Go easy.... hit hard with the truth..... playing....
recording techniques..... production...... since you're new and this could be a student.... it would be nice to know the details and exactly what you're wanting from a critique.

Normally, I don't ask.... I simply state it as I hear it when someone asks for a critique.

Hi Ed. The first thing that strikes me is the RTs are dry, and the live tracks have quite a bit of reverb. There are minimal fills in the drums which make them "less live". I would try to make the drums a little more interesting, maybe add some percussion, take some verb off the live tracks and add a bit to the drums to make the track sound like it is all in the same space. Just some thoughts. Nice work!! Take care. Greg

How gratifying to receive those responses. This idea of criticism, give and take, is a great feature, with even more potential. I was negligent:
1) Tascam DP30SD 8 track
2) Electro-Voice vocal mike & PRS Santana. (The guitar signal is unmodified originally)
3) Band in a Box 2015 Hank -- Mute steel, hush piano, hush rhythm, before rendering to WAV. That's the only real modification of the 6 BB tracks. Looking for a soft accompany.
4) Load BB Wav mix to tracks 1 & 2 on the recorder,
drag, drop and import.
5) With headphones, play the rhythm track on #3
6) " " " play the bass track on #4
7) Pay lead melodies on #5 and #6
8) Leave #7 and #8 for vocal.
9) Enhance each track a little, if needed, using built in EQ, Comp, Reverb and echo. That's where the annoying reverb came from. My ear didn't pick it up.
10) Mix and Master
11) Transfer to High end Digital recorder (line in)
12) Create a folder. Drag Mix from folder into SONY Acid
13) Adjust and export to Wav.
14) Upload to Soundcloud.

Whew, that's a lot for one post. Sure, I am looking for the candid critique. Yes, all live tax are my own. The vocals are church members I work with live. I don't know what RT is or how to make the drums sound better. I think they are too loud, for one.
Now, If I could just find someone like Josie to get interested in karaoke-ing them....I do have "Just a
Closer Walk.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
