It's Good to be Home Early results of the PD 19th Century Fusion Project. Drooble is quite new and seems to do justice to the audio. Bent Piano Original Hymn 2020

I had never heard of Drooble before. Have you used any of their services like Song Review? If you did, did it seem worth the money? Seems like a cool platform.
I enjoyed your song. Through my speakers, your voice sounds a little distorted or like it's peaking though. Lovely hymn. Cheers, Todd

Taking into account forum comments as best as I am able, I've re-recorded the vocals, this time standing up and giving the mike a little room. Progress with me is always steady, but slow.
I've been on Drooble only a short time and only recently posted the three songs. The reason the audio quality is good has to do with streaming bit rate. Otherwise, don't know much about it. If I were to take advantage of services, it would be to try Song Review. But for me, I can't beat my friends here on the PMG forum. On PMG, when folks really put out an effort, the members seem to know right away. The Drooble musicians are excellent, but Old Time Gospel is not exactly the genre of choice. Still, they are open minded and appreciative of each others' work.
It is a work in progress. I'm still not too sure of what makes them tick. I am finding specialized music sites such as Christian Song Writer Forum kind of thing for a few bucks a month.

Hello edshaw,
Personally I appreciated. The slightly distorted voice reminds me of some old vinyl and plunges us into a pleasant atmosphere. Well done.

I agree with Dero13,
This has an old vinyl vibe that fits the song well.

Very genuine and personal performance, and I liked this old-timey hymn.
I noticed some "off-beat" tambourine taps..was that live or digital?
Question: what is "PD 19th Century Fusion Project"?

Ed, a few Australians I collab with use Drooble...they seem happy with it and there're not issues from my perspective as a listener.
The songs cool, there does seem to be more reverb on the extreme panned instruments than your voice but the vocal still sits pretty well.
If anything I'd be inclined to reduce the tambourine's level a couple of db.
Cheers

Still a nice song! In terms of the remix, I agree with rayc - too much reverb for my taste, and the tambourine sticks out a bit much. There are still the issues with distortion on the vocal, but the balance is good. Always a pleasure to listen to you!

Nicely done - has a very "authentic" feel and sound.

Thanks, everyone, for the serious listening.
Oh, that tambourine -- After the mix was finished, I added a tambourine track, thinking, "what harm could I possibly do?" Now I know. It sounds like the devil and it is on that Drooble mix until a remix is posted. David: some of that fuzz and reverb is coming from the Strymon Blue Sky, which I am just getting used to, and a general dead spot in my hearing or the recording equip I'm using. A constant work in progress. Tano: the Fusion Project is my academic name for I am listening to a lot of 19th-century Pentecostal hymns and African American spirituals from the same period. As we know from historic anecdote, the two influenced each other for many years before getting out of the deep south and into the mainstream in the form of Jazz and popular music, Chicago blues, Rock 'n Roll, Black and Country Gospel,
New Orleans music, and many other genres, including mainstream and black fundamental revival music. Thomas E. Dorsey was a barroom piano player. Elvis Presley grew up with gospel quartets. Then, there is Jerry Lee.
Basically, I am listening, then synthesizing, or trying to. As I work with these songs, though, I become blessed with a deeper understanding of how the early musicians worked -- what they had to work with and what they made of it. Most could not read, like the famous Hymnists of the 19th century, some of whom were actually quite scholarly, but they created a musical art form that had great power. I've always been something of a snob about Pentatonic scales, thinking, "why?" I'm developing something of an understanding of abbreviated scales. When we strip Band-in-a-Box down to basics, the sounds of the chord progressions become pre-eminent, do they not? While Bach and Beethoven clearly understood chord progressions, old-time gospel dwells on them. Of course, Bluegrass, Celtic, and Folk fit in, too.
I know, you didn't ask for a boook.

I also got that old vinyl sound wit this one. But that was not a distraction for me. I liked the mix, your vocal and the lyrics.
This should be played on every Christian radio station.
