Hi all
Here's a new Celtic-style song, " Listen To Me ". I've added flute and vocal harmonies (with the Helicon Harmony GTX)
I know very little of Celtic music, however I really like the feel and sound of it.
ANY comments welcome.

Best
JanR

Hi Jan,

I thoroughly enjoyed this. You've got an excellent sound happening. I'm always a sucker for things written in 12/8! You've managed the time signature really well.

Since you asked for comments, one thing that occurred to me as I listened, and I don't know if it's useful or not, but if this was my recording, I'd bring the vocals a little more forward and drop off a little of the reverb (in the verses in particular). I also found myself wondering if the vocals would benefit from a tad of higher freq. EQ. That's just my two krone's worth of comments

Yep, I really liked this.

All the best,
Noel

I enjoyed the contrast in styles here with the celtic thing against a rather rock sounding drum track and I like the flute motif because it’s simple.

Vox slightly indistinct for reasons already mentioned

All in all, an interesting piece, Jan.

PGFantastic, Noel & mglinert

Thanks a lot for listening and comments.Yeah, tweaking the vox has always been a challenge for me, hence your comments are appreciated. Actually there is no 'clean' reverb on the vox tracks, as I have used stereo delay on this tune.

That's a very good song, Jan. It lifts well as it goes along and I liked the vocals and panning of the components.
Personal comments, take with a pinch of salt: I think the intro is too long and the whole backing should come in at 00:18 rather than 00:35. Vocals, yes they need a bit of 'air' at 12-15Khz or thereabouts. The delay on the end was a nice touch but it suddenly got cut off which spoiled the fading away effect.

Hi John

Thanks for listening and and your comments, appreciated. Your thoughts about the lenght of the intro is just right, I agree, but for other reasons I left it there. On basis of the previous advices I remastered the song, adding some air to the whole song, and in my opinion it lifted the tune a bit.
Thanks again John

Hi Jan,

I've just listened to the remastered version. Wow! You've really lifted the song up a few notches with the changes. This version sounds much more engaging! It's an A+ from me

All the best,
Noel

Another big A+

Would you mind sharing what your flute soundsource was?

Hi MarioD

Thanks for listening. Yeah, master really matters, not an easy task though

I used the EastWest Goliath library. At start I intended to use the "Irish Low Whistle", which I thought would fit well to the feel of the song, but ended up using the "Flute" from the "Orchestra" library.

Thanks for feedback

Hi Jan,

Nice. I think this would make a great soundtrack for film/tv.

Hey Rock Celtic is this a first ? I understand that if you pan the vocals slightly to the right the brain will focus on that . Cool song Jan !
