Beautiful song, Michee, and well done. My only negative is your vox effects processor, because in my cans and on my big system both, I'm hearing your more natural voice on the left, and the 'doubled?' or more 'spacey' voice on the right. The net result (for me anyways) is that I hear your voice at being too much left. Also on certain notes, where the 'blend' is a little better, your voice shifts right, (towards center, where it should be) a little, then a couple notes later, back left, creating an unnatural movement. But, let's wait until some others kick in and maybe get some second opinions before doing anything drastic.  All and all, very enjoyable. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Later, Jim
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

Hi Jim,
You are correct in your comments about my voice shifting around to the left.
I have taken your advice and placed my voice where it should be in the middle.
I have uploaded a new version (same link as above).
Regards

Ah yes, much better. Levels seem to be really good on my systems, every thing nice and clear. IMHO this song also demo's the amazing power of the realtracks. Very good job.

Hi Michee,
I really liked this song. From the very beginning I knew this was going to be a special song for me. I liked the build up as the song progressed and your singing was good. A really nice song. Well done. I will put this in my itunes collection.
Jim

Hey Michee, Nice work! I really loved the way you built the arrangement up. This is quite a different sound from your usual work and I really like the place that the muse has taken you to. It's a beautiful song and is presented with flair. Kudos to you All the best, Noel

Hi Noel,
I wanted to try an acoustic sound without all the bustle of my normal songs.
Thanks for taking a listen.
Best regards

I somehow must have overlooked this one. Glad I listened to it; nice song!
Nice arrangement and a good build-up.
The only thing that caught my ears was the virtual placement of the vocals in the mix. Where the instruments are all nicely placed on the virtual stage, the vocals seem to be located "behind" the stage, as if the singer was not allowed on stage. Perhaps you applied a bit too much compression or eq? Playing around with the reverb will also enable you to "place" certain instruments or vocals.
This is nitpicking as there ever was: the song is fine as it is. But should you seek improvement on this song, the vocal effects would be my advice.
Well done.

Hi Mike, Yes my vocals can be hit or miss. I just try to get the song down before I forget it. (senior moments ) If I was going to do a demo for a publisher I would get a better singer than me to do justice to it. I appreciate your comments and will strive to perfect my vocals. Thank you for listening and your constructive comments. Best regards Michee

No, it's not the way you sang the vocals: that's fine.
It is the way you added effects to the recorded vocals I was commenting on. You did good on the singing. With some different use of effects like compression, eq and reverb you could do justice to your performance.

Hi Mike,
Would you be willing to give me some pointers as to the correct use of compression, EQ etc.
Yes I know I can read about it but a picture is worth a thousand words.
Maybe a small pack of mp3's that show before and after effects with comments would be very useful.
Best regards
Michee

Hi George,
We have a User Showcase forum. It's "one-floor down" from the off-topic forum. It opened up after you posted this song link, but re-posts of previously made song links are welcome. Perhaps you could re-post your message in the User Showcase, so people find all the users' songs in one place. (and of course links to your other originals as well)
This applies to anyone else who has previously posted their song links.... post 'em again in the User Showcase Forum
Note that this is only for original songs, no links to covers or copyrighted songs.
Have Fun!
