Great idea, and she's got a great voice!


Brad, thanks for checking it out.

My Grandniece lives in the San Francisco area and only makes it down to San Diego a couple times a year to visit the grandparents (my brother and his wife). So it may be a while before I'm able to record her vocal. When I do I'll post it in the Showcase section of this forum.

They have a large screen at her school auditorium. I put together a video to play as the backing track. So I do have a finished version of that. I did a piano intro, some song structure changes, changed the drums with EZDrummer3, and a touch of mixing, and a visual abstraction light show kind of thing.

Here is a draft of that but this includes the melody played on the piano instead of her voice. I've heard she loves the music and video.

(Protools or Reaper, they do the same things more or less. I used Protools in the past, it's a bit too expensive, at least for me.)
