Hi Beth,

This is the first time I've listened to your song. I like it a lot. Your vocal is outstanding.

I can't help you much from a technical POV as I, too, have no idea of what most of the previous commenters have suggested. Everything I do is accomplished by my ears and my God-given skillset. i don't even own a DAW! Well, I do, but I have no idea whatsoever how to use them. To me, reading the manuals is like a drunk Russian trying to read Chinese.

Most of what I post is instrumental work. I try various RTs for each track of the piece I'm working on. When I find one that matches pretty closely to what I hear in my head, I load it. I then regenerate endlessly until I get what I want. I do a lot of multirifting. yet, most of my songs are completed, from first sitdown at the computer until posted on Soundcloud in 3 - 6 hours.

I wish I could be more helpful, but my Neanderthal-like recording process doesn't offer me much in the line of suggestions offered above.

Nonetheless, I very much enjoyed your song.

Wishing you the very best,

Alan

Dealing with the solo - yeah, multi riff & stretching in the DAW are perfect but even then sometimes a little delay will soften that abruptness - particularly if automated.
Lovely call to arms.


Cheers

Thanks, Alan. You're very sweet. Finding the multiriff function was an exciting discovery for me! Neanderthals. Baby birds. It takes all kinds to make great music.
