Here's a remixed version of a demo song I've written 8 years ago.

You Are There

Here are the BIAB RealTracks I used:
RealTracks in song: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 891:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065
RealTracks in song: ~897:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: ~~688:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealDrums: RealDrums in Song: SmoothJazzBallad^4-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat

I generated 2 instances of the acoustic piano and since BIAB does not generate the track the same way each time you render, the effect sounds good when to me when I have one each extremely on the left and right.

Vocals were recorded using Logic Pro X. The same DAW was used for the final mix.

I open to any suggestions or corrections to improve the song further.

I hope you'll like it.

I enjoyed this melodic tune.
very well produced.
I would like to see the intro reduced by around four bars.
Good work.
Rob

Nice! I enjoyed the song and agree that it's a total class production.

That said, I can never resist a suggestion or two. wink

This lyric stuck out a bit:

You always help me out
And bring me liberty


The word "liberty" doesn't seem a good fit. For one, it doesn't match the informal language you've used up to that point. Second, it seems to me that bringing someone liberty is a bit more than "helping out".

The lyric:

I call upon your name

also moves from an informal familiarity to a very formal relationship, as opposed to:

I'm calling out your name

I'm not saying it's wrong, and certainly not saying my suggestion is better. I think I know why you wrote it like that - I just thought I'd be mention it. crazy

Finally - and a hesitate to say it, because I've got a pretty severe lateral "s" myself - there are some points where "there" comes out as "dare".

But... these are all tiny nits. It really is a total class production, and enjoyable to listen to.

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

Thanks a lot for your very valuable comment.

I have to rethink on how to write the first point you indicated. For the second point, I can replace it as per you suggestion. For the third, I have a mild lisp so there are some parts that I really have to re-take to correct it. smile As for the word "there", I haven't realize it until you pointed it out. Good observation. I'll be careful with that next time.

Once again, thank you so much!!!
