Hi Noel,
it's all been said. I can only add that
I enjoyed my listens very much.
A good start for 2016.
Guenter Hi Guenter, Thank you for passing through the thread. I've still got a long way to go before I catch up to your productions but I'm having fun trying! All the best, Noel

Man this is awesome. I am glad you got audiophile, and I am so glad I did too. It is SO worth the extra change. The sound quality here is crisp and brilliant--ready for radio as they say. I love the warmth and texture of this style. Keep going man, and welcome to Audiophile. It is addictive, though, I will warn you. My wife is starting to give me "that look"--I spend so much time in studio. I must be careful now!!!!  David, I agree... the audiophile version is terrific! I run it with wma files on my hard-drive while working on a song. Then, when I move into Realband, I load the wav tracks. The difference is noticeable. As you say, there's warmth and texture present in the wavs that's not in the wmas. I probably spend too much time at my computer too! LOL... the perils of BIAB! Oh well... Thanks for listening. I appreciate it. Regards, Noel

Noel,
You make me smile. I've noticed every time I listen to one of your songs I find myself smiling, mostly because you sound so happy when you sing.
Beside your singing this is a very nice waltz to listen to. You've developed an interesting sounding space. There is good "ear candy" in this song. Truely wonderful to listen to.

Real good song Noel, I enjoyed the listen. To me you always have a Beatle sound to your voice that I like. Some parts of this song sounds somewhat like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Great job.
Sonny Hi Sonny, Thanks for taking the time... I appreciate the feedback. Ahhh The Beatles... now THERE was a group who knew how to do it right... I'm a huge fan of their work. All the best, Noel

It's like we're waltzing together on our own clouds of sound
Very nice line!! This is a sweet listen, both in terms of the content and the mix/instrumentation. Really nicely done. Solo string works great, as does the nylon (love that patch!). Really nice stuff Noel!! Take care. Greg Hey Greg, Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. This cello RT has such a great sound and it's so easy to work with. It didn't matter what melody I tried out, the cello somehow managed to work with everything. Band In A Box and Realband are such great programs! All the best! Noel

"One two three, one two three, round and around
It's like we're waltzing together on our own clouds of sound
The orchestra leads us as we dance round the floor"
That is a GREAT setup to the song. The whole feel is immediately
nailed and you are ready for the ride.
Like floyd we were immediately taken with the soundstage...the
stereo is amazing -- it just fills our room. Beautiful. Even my
old ears can hear that and it makes me rethink the notion of being
able to appreciate the audiophile version.
Love the vocal, the cello, the bridge -- heck, everything!! You set a very high
bar on this production.
Yep, one two three....

There are just too many things that are right about this. I really loved listening to it. Thank you for such a nice song! Hi HTL, I really appreciate the comments. Thank you. I couldn't have done it without Band In A Box, though. To me and my songwriting, the program is like the proverbial manna from heaven... such a great tool. All the best, Noel

Noel,
wonderful soundscape.
and floyd again says it all for me.
You gave an interesting answer to his questions. I shall stop disrupting the class; move to the front and pay attention to that!
I don't use Ozone any more, my mixing "skills" (hahah!) are built from trial and error from vst's from the past BUT I will try and translate your methods to my way of working.
I do like your method of writing which is SO different from mine!
A great listen as usual from you
An impressive start to the New Year
Alyn Hi Alyn, Thanks for dropping in... you never disrupt the class. It's ALWAYS a pleasure to hear from you. In all honesty, I'd love to be half as creative as you! I don't know how you do it. The only way I can write lyrics is by being analytical... Hope Winter is treating you there above the equator! All the best, Noel

Noel,
Nice love song! The lyrics is nice. Your vocal is attractive. I especially like the part accompanied by cello. It changes the mood slightly but effectively. I enjoyed a lot!
Hiroshi
Thank you for having a listen, Hiroshi! The cello is an amazing Realtrack. As you say, it brings an effective mood change.... I'm not quite sure how to describe what it does but it is noticeable! Once again, thank you, Noel

Hey Noel. Always love a waltz. Great job. "Clouds of sound" that is a great line. Your vocal is so laid back. Loved it.

I think this is your best so far.
As heaven is my witness, this song I adore
And with its sound in my ears
I don't need anything more.
Thanks for the smile, Charlie! Appreciate it. I also appreciate your giving the song a test drive. All the best, Noel

loved the first stanza . . . when lyrics can take you somewhere (other than where you are), that is accomplishing something great!

A very cool production as always!
Rob and Anne-Marie Hi Rob and Anne-Marie, It's good to see you both. Thank you for passing through and having a listen. I have a theory that by using one of the cello realtracks in an arrangement the likeability factor of the song jumps up a few notches! They're such great tracks and the sound is fantastic. Band In A Box makes every so easy! I appreciate your comments. Thanks again! All the best, Noel
