Hi All! I always value your input and constructive ideas. This song was written by a friend of mine, all the instrumentals were created with real band (A lot of editing and pasting, but got it the way I want it) Let me know what you think and if anything should be changed .. taken away or added. http://www.dannyriddle.com/WhoMadeTheCrown-VOCAL_Master.MP3THANKS AGAIN! Danny

Hey Danny, I thought this song was great!! You did a good job with the Real Instruments. I also thought your vocal was right on. The words told the old story Christ on the Cross. Thanks for sharing. occ

All I can say is WOW! !
This is one super mix. Great vocal man.
That is one fantastic job on cutting and pasting realtracks!

Danny, very nice song. Great vocals!, nice touch on the thunder. What instruments did you use? Sounds like bass guitar, fiddle, and a finger-picked guitar.....oh and thunder  My Realtracks didn't have a thunder instrument, is that an upgrade?

Hey Don S, MarioD, Mac, Danny C and Powderman ... Thanks for taking the time to listen to the song and for the kind words. I am faving fun with realband and glad this one turned out okay. Was afraid of adding the thunder to it....and I am always afraid of adding too much of the fiddle (my favorite of the real tracks)
Hey Tcaylor, you heard right, I used:
electric bass (RT366)
finger acustic (RT364)
Fiddle (RT409) and Fiddle (RT624) I cut and pasted between the two to get the right sound
On the chorus I added a strumming guitar (RT368)
As for the thunder, a few days ago, we had a bad storm here in florida and I thought about this song and decided to attempt and record the thunder that seemed to be right on top of our home... I added a little echo and dehissed it and it seemed to turn out okay. Do you think it is too much?
Thanks again!
Danny
