So, in line with the recent discussions on pitch correction in another thread, I just watched an online streamed session in Nashville with Benita Hill (multi hit songwriter for Garth Brooks and many others) that included If We Can Just Make it Through Midnight, that was posted here. (Produced with Band in a Box.) Song by Rachel and David.

Benita and the NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association) staff were smiling and nodding along like crazy the entire time, and the comment was very close to this, if not verbatim:

"I love the vocals! I really like your voice. It really communicates the song. Totally pitchable as is. As an artist or to someone else. [Song is] cool. It's different. Kind of has a cowboy, western feel, which I love. Really really good. I like it!!" [smiling.]

I did not use Melodyne.

I just stepped up to a mic and sang it with my heart.

I don't think you can buy one of those from Sweetwater, but maybe they will go on sale next week.

P.S. They also listened to Rachel on "Big Wide Open Road," also posted here, and Benita made some suggestions [but was extremely helpful] on some stuff because she is a hit song lyricist, but overall, they were also pumped about this tune and the comment was:

"You've written a great road trip driving song girl!"

smile

So I guess Rachel and I will just keep walking down that long, old, dusty, wide open, long and winding road that leads us to your door.....
