"Noel96"...
Your song, "The Way of the World", by way of your RealTrack choices, has a nice, laid-back "pop" sound with a light calypso-style beat that is as charming and fresh to the ears as it is reminiscent of Michael Franks' sound.
The lyrics are seriously appreciative of the rhythms of Nature, and they are very nicely married to images of marital bliss and youthful hopes.
As is usual, you sing with the fervor of a man who is open to everything that life has in store for him. It's a reassuring voice that shares its sense of wonder with those who would listen closely enough to it.
You may be the reigning philosopher/songwriter of this forum, "Noel96"!
A fellow "trav'ler",
LOREN
Hey Loren, Thank you for dropping by. I always appreciate the opportunity to say "Hi" to a fellow trav'ler! As seems to be the case every time you visit one of my threads, you have a knack for saying uplifting things that make me smile! I don't know that I'll ever make the ranks of 'philosopher/songwriter' but you've certainly given me something to aim for! All the best, Noel

Love the positive nature of this! The world needs more feel good songs I think This is great, Noel, the mix sounds fabulous through the 'phones. That Bossa percussion track is the cats meow! And that guitar RT sounds great too, very interesting the way you put it together. And possibly your best vocal performance, especially during the chorus. My new favorite of yours I think, enjoyed very much! Hi Noel, Everything Dave said is spot on and I fully agree. He said it much better than I could have. Love the casual but upbeat cheerfulness. Your vocal is tops and, like Dave said, the chorus is splendid. You have a special relationship with music creation that I wish I had. Wonderful! Wishing you the very best. Alan Alan, It's always great to see you. Thank you for the visit. I appreciate your comments, too. I'm not all that much of a singer but with the various plugins these days, I can get away with a fair bit! In this song, I used the CLA Vocals plugin. It makes it really easy to tweak vocals and get a good sound. Take care. Please say "Hello" to Di from me. My very best thoughts and wishes, Noel

Noel,
Sundance expressed it very well - the "beachy, Boardwalk vibe" is infectious and noone writes feel good glass brimming over, lyrics better.
Very good arrangement- the little glimpses of viola and Afro percussion were inspired choices.
I couldn`t help hearing some playful harmonies in a few places, though that`s not to take away from one of your best vocals.
Musical sunshine, sir!
Robert Robert, It's good to see you. Thank you for having a listen and letting me know how you hear the song. I appreciate it. I actually toyed around with harmonies a bit but, in the end, I left them out because they seemed to rob the viola of its presence. To my ears, the viola sounded more powerful and fitted better when there weren't too many other musical distractions. Thank you again! All the best, Noel

In such good taste, that song will be around for some time to come.
Background vocals?

It seems many songs come from experiments... You've done particularly well with your creative experiment... I enjoyed it.

Really pretty and inspiring!! Sitting inside my house with the smokey California air surrounding me, this was just what I needed! A breath of fresh air!! Great job Noel....mix and vocal are great!! Take care. Greg Greg, Thank you for listening. Appreciate it! All the best, Noel Noel I think that this is your best to date. A super backing track groove with your vocals set perfectly within. Your lyrics were fantastic.
This is a super feel good happy song.
I really liked this one. Hey Mario, Thanks for the visit and thank you for listening. It's Joe Robinson's guitar playing that makes this backing work so well. He's a talented man! Hope you have a wonder New York Christmas and New Year, Noel Noel,
Love how you consistently get such a great, crisp and clean sound out what you lay down. This one is no exception. Some really nice lyrics to go with. And a “ear-worm” hook on that chorus. What a nice tune! Cool listen.
Humble regards,
Deej
Hi Deej, Thanks for dropping in! My main tools for polishing the final production are Ozone 8 (overall mix) and CLA Plugins (used on vocals and one of the guitars here). I usually use Nectar on vocals but I thought I'd give the CLA plugin a go this time. I'm pretty sure these help with getting that crisp and clean sound you mention. I appreciate that you found time to have a listen and to comment. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year, Noel

Wonderful write! And very clever use of BIAB to have more control over the Realtrack. Thank you for sharing that idea!
much enjoyed! Lawrence, Once again, thank you for listening! Right now, I'm sitting here wondering where you might go with the idea of generating and comp'ing chords. Hope you get some use from it! All the best and may a wonderful Christmas be awaiting you and your family, Noel Simple backing really suited this great song. Well put together and very enjoyable Noel. Graham, It's always a pleasure to have you visit! I appreciate your listen and comment. Thank you. I hope that all is travelling much better for you and your wife these days. Kind regards and all the very best for Christmas and the New Year, Noel Hi Noel,
We sure love the special sound of Joe's RT and you managed to create a cool and uplifting song with it!
Rob and Anne-Marie Hi Rob and Anne-Marie, It's great to see you! Thank you for passing through. And thank you for listening and commenting, too. May a wonderful holiday season come your way, Noel

Noel,
I don't know I missed this one, but it sure is wonderful!
That real track sounds great. I think this is one of your best. It is very organic, and you sound really happy singing it.
This one would be good for your next album. A really strong write and performance.
Happy New Year!
