David and Rachel Radio 4.19: MORE WITH LESS_Duet Here is a new song. Rachel and I are singing a duet on a tune we spun up called “More with Less.” Pretty self explanatory. Hope you like it! MORE WITH LESS By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/more-with-lessV1 [male] Fighting with that man in the mirror I don't know who’s going to be the winner The hallow eyed reflection that I see Or the man I know you need me to be Honestly I don't know how you stayed this long God only knows why you stood this strong Yeah, stronger than the reflection I see Even stronger than The man I know that I should be CH [male] Right now This future of ours looks dim But because you believe in him You haven’t given up on us And that kind of love is hard to express With sins like mine that need to be confessed But I believe that I can be a better man Because God has done more with less Yeah, he’s done more with less More with less V2 [female] Loving that man in the mirror Because he’s fighting to get his life together I’m looking past the reflection I see Praying I’ll find the man you used to be Honestly I ask myself why I stayed this long And thank God I’ve been able to stand this strong Yeah, stronger than the broken man I see A little love and Jesus just might set him fee CH [alternating male and female] Right now Our future might look dim [male] But because I believe in him I haven’t given up on us [female] And this kind of love is hard to express [male] But changes in time will show me you’ve confessed And I know you can be a better man [female] Because God has done more with less [male] Yeah, he’s done more with less [female] More with less [male and female] CH/Outro [mixed] Because God has done more with less Yeah, he’s done more with less More with less [male and female] All music and lyrics copyright 2023 by Rachel Cintula and David Snyder.

This is a good thing. I'm confused by the use of "hallow" though. Rachel's vocal is a little uneven in level...leaning in & back I suspect. I like the song, the pace and the feel. That tag could be a little tighter I suppose. Nice one.

Hi Rachel and David A duet is always a cool thing Don't know if I have heard one here in the forum yet The song sounds pretty good Maybe you both should have used the same vocal effects But a good song by itself Many greetings Andi ;-)

David, you're a fabulous musician. Rachel, you write and sing beautifully - I hear so much more courage in your voice than at the beginning. The Sheryl Crow vibes are there - I still think you can believe even more in your own voice, because it really is all there. For what my own opinion may be worth, anyway, haha.
Great song, great lyrics. Well done, the both of you ... you're hitting it outta the park, you really are (is that the right expression? haha. You know what I mean!).

Hey thanks Ray! That is a good suggestion. Let me look at the tag again.
Have a good one mate!

Good country song - good write, put together nicely.
I agree with what the others wrote - putting both your vocals in the same space and riding Rachel's volume would help it sound a bit more cohesive.
Anyway, good song. Well done, you two.

Rachel and David produce another winner. Cool approach to a duet. Sounds great to me as is.

What a great intro to a great write.
Nice vocals, mix and band.
Well done y'all!

David and Rachel:
This is a terrific write with some wonderful lines throughout . . . I really like the melody in the verses . . . though I'm a little less so in the chorus, which seems to bog down a little bit for me around the 5th and 6th lines—a subjective thing for sure. It’s just a work tape and you’ve gotten some great advice on the vocal mixes already. When you get down to a more complete recording synching up the harmonies a bit more will help take it to the next level as well.
You two are really cranking out some excellent stuff of late!
My best to you both,
Deej

If it was a question, David, I'll say MORE! Yeah, can't get enough of yours and Rachel's talents. Another fine example. It seems to my ears that there is more effect on your vocal than Rachel's, but that's mostly me trying pretend I'm good at this. What a good write and I like how you each take up your respective parts to sing about the same guy. Great message, too. Much enjoyed!

Thanks Andi. The vocals were done in different rooms with different mics and set ups. I know how to fix it next time so you will never know.

Thanks David!
Yeah there are lot of things I have figured out to do better or different next time to correct for different mics in different rooms and other things.
I have figured out a way to treat Rachel's vox now so it will sound like the same room and the same space and same mic.

David & Rachel ...
I concur with the previous comments about the differing vocal sounds, but you've already addressed how you'll approach that on the next production. Love the backing tracks ... crystal clear and the perfect selection of instruments.
Duets aren't easy to write and produce. But I don't see that as a problem here. The approach and execution are really nice. Very nice how you put it together with the differing POVs between the male and female perceptions of the same "image". I prefer this to a call and response that is more frequently used.
Nice song - nice presentation. Hats off for a really an excellent project.

David, getting better with each tune. Duets are tricky. I agree with David C. Otherwise, glad for you finding a musical partner. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

David, I really like this song. Like Floyd said, the George and Tammy of the forum. I hope you post the finished production. This is a good one.
