Daisy,
No one said praise and praise only except you.

If you're only willing to post if your critical observations and comments are agreed with then I'd say the problem is yours.

I'm only saying if you are going to do so much critiquing of every one elses work including mine - I'd like to hear some of yours.



Well Josie...I'm a little late to the party, but let me say that I loved your song. Especially the harmonies and your use of the minor chord structure. I usually listen to a song first without looking at the lyrics just to get the "feel" of the song, and the whole time I was listening the first time through I kept thinking how the harmonies reminded me of Crosby, Stills (CSNY)..I'm a big fan! . I was also picking up a little bit of Stevie Nicks (also a big fan) in your vocal. Not too shabby, girl! Some nice stuff there. Keep up the good work. You'll just get better and better with every song.

As for the naysayers (the after-the-fact, "Monday mornng quarterbacks" of production and engineering,etc)...our buddy Dan (Shockwave) had one of the best comments I've heard on the subject, and I'm paraphrasing, but basically once your song is completed and put out there critiques are meaningless. You're obviously NOT incompetent to be writing and recording so what's the point in second guessing your creative decisions? As I've said before (not popularly either) just because you put a song on the User Showcase doesn't mean you're inviting a critical analysis necessarily...unless you request it. I thought the purpose of this forum was to show what different users are creating with the software. I'm personally more interested in the users inspiration for the song, and a little background on the lyrics. "A song can be written, produced, arranged, mixed, and mastered a million ways and it's all subjective personal taste. Not better or worse, right or wrong...just different." (...that quote from my own producer who had a wall full of platinum and a penned #1 hit to back it up) So all that being said...just keep creating what YOU like the way YOU like it and forget the rest. I personally like what your doing. Keep 'em coming.
