Hi Danny C.,

Thank you for having a listen. I appreciate the feedback a great deal. After a while, I lose objectivity regarding my songs and I find other people's feedback very valuable to help me regain my perspective.

These days I like to keep a hard-copy record of how I assemble songs. Below is that information. Hope it's useful for you

Kind regards,
Noel

ASSEMBLING "Feel The Power"

1. Band In A Box
The music and lyrics were assembled using the MIDI. When the song was done, some Realtracks were employed.
  • Used MIDI style, Burkes.sty
  • Replaced MIDI tracks with the following Realtracks: Bass – #538, Bass, Acoustic, Pop Swing 190; Guitar – #374, Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 190
  • Realdrums – Country Swing
  • Tempo 210

2. Realband
  • Soloist added: #818 – Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryClassicSwing Sw 190
  • TC Helicon was later applied to lead vocals that had been recorded in Sonar Home Studio (2 down, 2 up, medium sized choir).
  • Vocal harmony was written to separate tracks and imported into Sonar for mixing

3. Sonar Home Studio
  • A soundfont was used with SFZ player for the MIDI organ track from BIAB
  • Blockfish compressor was used on the vocals. (I've found this compressor simple yet effective; best of all, it's free.)
  • To lightly compress the final mix, I used GranComp3.
