Another one - sorry for the two songs in quick succession! Have you noticed how songs sound different at different times of the day? I was listening to this one this morning and thought "nah, not worthy of the PG Music forum" (so posted the other song instead). Then listening now, at the day's end to it and thinking "actually, why not?", haha. You be the judge :-) thanks for your kind listening and for any and every single comment! https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/magnificat-october-2020-versionMAGNIFICAT lyrics adapted from the Gospel of St Luke My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked with favor on His humble servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed, the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who respect Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. *** He has come to the help of His servant for He has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise He made to our ancestors, to Mother Earth and her children for ever. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: 24 October 2020 File:24 October 2020.SGU Key=C , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=3:44 No intro. 66 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 66.

Interesting Reggae vibe.
I like the spoken word over music on this but.......
the vocal seems a little dry and might need some cleanup in the low end.

Thanks Captain, once more. Work to do on the vocal, then ... I knew something was amiss, haha. I will give it another listen in the morning and take it from there. Thanks for lending me your ears!!! :-)

CaptainMoto is correct regarding the vocal. Don't know what mic you're using(?) but sounds like some proximity effect going on. If that is the case?....back off from the mic, get a good breath and speak a bit louder and from the diaphragm. Maybe even slightly off axis. Doesn't mean some EQ'ing wouldn't be necessary also. That's my take. Just a thought....keep up the creativity.

Interesting choices - both musically and "to Mother Earth and her children for ever."
I agree with others about the proximity effect/boominess of the vocal. It makes it a bit muffled, so it's harder to hear what's being spoken.

Thanks chulaivet and David! David, I'm glad you picked up on the lyric change ... I wanted to make it more universal, that's why. I also changed "those that fear Him" to "those that respect Him". I should have also changed "the rich, He has sent away empty" to "the greedy, etc." - but I forgot. I may re-record it and try to get a better mic sound whilst at it ...
Thanks so much for listening and for commenting!
