Hello Sonny and Daniel,
Your best so far!
The vocal and the electric piano give the song a real Steely Dan feel.
Very cool!

Hi Sonny,
so smooth and relaxing! Daniel did a great job with his vocals and harmonies. The lead guitar is a good choice.

Sonny...
Awesome. Great Pop song. The melody is OUTSTANDING.
Terrific vocals (is there a distortion to them? too hot?)
The guitar solo is excellent (I wish you had posted the RT name - so I don't have to look it up).
Listened several times... excellent song.
Digging your stuff... this one is a hit.

SRP you called this a simple song but I would call it simply perfect.
Everything about this is spot on and pro all the way!
Excellent vocals, backing tracks and lead work.
You two should be extremely proud of this one.

floyd Hey Floyd, I went back and checked once again for any clipping but I did not find any, then I soloed all the vocals and nothing there, I put everything back as it was and then lowered the main faders so as to bring the speaker volume up but nothing there either and then the last thing I did was take off all the mastering effects on the mains but nothing there. Do you have any suggestions? Sonny

Really thoroughly enjoyed this. Perfect selection of tracks. Great vocals and impressive harmonies. The Pad worked perfectly.
What a great melody. Outstanding in so many ways.

Hi Sony. Daniel certainly puts the melody across. So often our efforts are weak in melody. But not here.
A lovely song and i dig the backing. Cheers.

Really pretty ballad - well written and sung.
I am picking up some of the distortion Floyd mentioned in this section but not later:
What I would do
Cause now it’s you
And when you are gone
You’re always on my mind
I know this love
Will always last forever
Can't really offer any suggestions given what you have done to isolate - perhaps it's in the original recording process not the mix or plugins?

floyd Floyd I am still trying to discover the origin of the distortion that you have mentioned and I do appreciate your feedback. I really like this forum for many reasons for my ears are sixty-eight years old and are in need of assistance every now and then. Thanks for letting me know.

Can't really offer any suggestions given what you have done to isolate - perhaps it's in the original recording process not the mix or plugins? Thanks for the comments Peter. I went back to listen to the original recording (with no effects) and I found all vocals to be free of distortion. I am going to look at one other thing and maybe that might be where the problem lies. If you think of anything else I would appreciate your feedback. I did have on another song where the bass guitar was causing an anomaly with the vocals. I discovered it by muting each instrument one at a time to see if that was causing the strange sound. I had to change the position of the vocals to overcome it. Weird I know! Sonny
