Well I've worked with the Synth V voices long enough now to realize that it's a bit of work to get it all right...the harmonies are real work (for me at least)...so I'm posting this little song loosely based on I Corinthians 13 ( the love chapter) and I'm letting Cyrus carry the whole thing (I might add harmonies later but I like his solo here)...there are just two BiaB tracks in this mix...everything else I played on the Genos...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan I Would Be Nothing Without Lovehttps://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14796400RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2904:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm GrittyBluesyPopBrent Ev 100 Vocal: Cyrus Holmes (aka: SAROS/Synthesizer V ) Guitar tracks: programmed from the Genos I played: piano, strings, fretless bass and ooh's from the Yamaha Gernos

Dan, another super song that sounds amazing. Cyros sounds great. Love the acoustic guitar track, and that progression is sublime. That Genos must be something, at least in your hands. To tell you the truth I couldn't pick out the BiaB parts at all, but didn't miss them either. Very sweet arrangement, too. Just amazing all the way around...

Superb production. The Synth V vocal is absolutely outstanding. Love the arrangement and tracks. Great mix.
Very well done!

Great topic, and great song Dan. I could hear this one played at weddings and anniversarty's around the world. You've really got the touch when it comes to production. I love the entire sound on this. The sound of that guitar at the beginning really draws you in, and the rest of the arrangement leaves you waiting anxiously for the next note. Great stuff!

Dan, another winner for sure.
That synth vocal sounds real.
You have the gift of matching the backing tracks to the vocals.
Great chord progression.
The perfect blend for the perfect song.

"If I could speak the words that draw you to my side If I could take you on a magic carpet ride If I could make a melody the birds would sing If could turn the winter cold to newborn spring Still I would be nothing I would be nothing I would be nothing without love" Well, that grabbed us from the get go. Uplifting in sound and production. Good job playing and arranging all those tracks. They sound good as does the mix. That tech is a mystery to us but you assuredly make good use of it. Enjoyed it!

PS: So does Cyrus have a room down in your basement quietly awaiting the next project? J&B...thanks for your kind words....coming from you all (masters at production)...I am humbled....to answer your question...yes  ...Cyrus, Hayden and Natalie all have small rooms in my laptop in my basement studio...they are all comfortable there...though I'm sure they feel like prisoners sometimes...but there's a lot of love going round (so far) thanks again...Dan

I admire your work with Cyrus (SAROS), simply powerful performance. And the song itself is very beautiful, the arrangement sounds modern and the mix is airy. Gospel in every tiny detail, must have taken many days to finish, enjoyed very much.

Curious, I remember a band in the 80’s called FireSong. Any relation?
This is one of the best songs I’ve heard using BIAB!
Vocal was simply gorgeous. Backing Trax was perfect, IMO.

Well, Dan, with your experience with perfect harmony, it's understandable. Man, I loe that fretless --so perfectly tasteful and such a plus for this gem. Yeah, without love we'd be nothing more that flies --unless I don't know enough about flies. Cyrus was a good choice and you surely mastered it's vocal. What an inredible backing track, my friend. Everything in its place and so appropriate for the whole. Love what you do, Dan --I know I do. hehe

That's a good song and a great job with the voice.

The only nit I have with this lovely love song is the string noise of the intro. It's too regular, too certain and pulls my ear to it.
It's there under the rest of the song but not naked enough to grab my ears.
Lovely.
Cheers
