Hi Elliott,
Thanks for the listen and the kind words. I don't use a DAW, unless you consider Audacity a DAW. I have never used one. I plug my guitar (or mic on a vocal) into my Peavey Nashville 112 amp and run a line from my amp headphone jack straight into my computer's mic input with Audacity recording it. And yes, we use my guitar amp for vocals instead of a mixing board. If you're interested, here's a link to one of our vocals using that simple setup: https://soundcloud.com/alananddi/you-remix We use an AT 2035 mic.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Always glad to see a review from you.

Take care.

Alan

It was quite successful in separating the vocals, but the instruments still have a long way to go.
However, if you keep the original recording a little and layer RealTracks on it, I think you might be able to create a natural mix.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

PS - there was/is nothing wrong with your mixing skills.


Hi Mario,

You are very kind with your words. Thank you! As far as the mix, I have the left and right hand piano tracks opposite where they should be.

Again, thank you very much for your time to listen and the kind words!

Take care,

Alan

Oh, nice and melodic also.

We throughly enjoyed it and thought all you needed was Diana Krall on the piano!

Hi Folks!

Thank you very much! As far as Diana Krall, we're right there with you. She is our favorite Jazz performer—her Montreal concert was just so good. Also, Steve Tyrell is our favorite male Jazz vocalist.

Wishing you the very best,

Alan


PS: Di has fabulous recordings of Diana Krall's songs: "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" and "Peel Me A Grape".
