Was listening to some of my older songs and came across this one from a few months ago. Even though I finished the song (which I ALWAYS try to do) I didn't feel like I did a good job. I just don't have that heavy voice. Oh well, we have what we have so we make the best of it smile

So BIAB to save the day. I quickly changed the key to something that I could sing a bit better to, made some minor re-arrangements, added the type of background vocals I like, and I think I gave it a new life. One thing great about BIAB is the ability to do things like key change and flip verses/chorus around almost on the fly !!

Nice song!

I like your chord progression. particularly where you go between the DMaj13 back to DbMaj9 around 2:33.

Classic 70's Soul Vibe!

well done!

Really catchy and absolutely professionally produced. This a an excellent example of how good the delivery from this system can be when placed in the right hands.

There is just so much to like about this song.

Absolutely outstanding.

Hi, Henry.

Very smooth! I enjoyed several plays. laugh

Being able to change keys and quickly re-arrange in BiaB really is awesome!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks all of you for the kind replies !! I just try to get the most out of the product that I can.

David Cuny - Yes I like the fact that I can quickly rearrange and change the keys.

Nigel, TuneMonger, Videotrack, Greg and Nigel - Thanks for listening and the favorable comments.

Rob - the chord change Dmaj13 back to DbMaj9 hmmmmm ..... Man I have no idea what you're talking about :-) I'm like the guys from the old Street Corner and Church groups. I don't know crap about chord changes. I just know what sounds good. I can read a little bit but in almost all of my songs my chords selections are strictly intuitive.

Thanks again guy!! I'm still listening !!
