Hi Everyone - a few days ago I posted a song here and received some very nice feedback. Forum memeber Josie and I began discussing a duet for "Here In The Quiet Hours". Josie's beautiful vocal has made the song something very special - I am very grateful to her for her work on this. We hope you enjoy it... Bob http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9860935

Hello Bob,
What can I say but WOW!! You just made a great song even better. You're voice and Josie's really blend so well. I am impressed with what you and Josie did.

What a stunningly beautiful arrangement. Everything fits together like a perfect jigsaw puzzle. Josie has a real gift for harmony and your two voices blend incredibly well. Overall, the track is very impressive. I've got to agree with Marty, "WOW" says it all.

Noel

Hi Bob and Josie,
I must say that this is a very good song and (forgive me Bob) Josie's duet with you lifts it higher.
Bob if you wrote this song I am most impressed with the lyrics and the haunting melody.
You both have done a wonderful job.
Let other users know how you collaborated i.e. which audio files did you use was it wav mp3 or other file types.
Well done
Best regards

Daisy/Noel/Michee/Greg/Pat,
Thanks for listening and for the very kind words. This collaboration was truly a pleasure.
In terms of the process, I sent Josie an mp3 and she cut a separate wav track with her vocal, which I then blended with the original tracks on my Tascam DP-008 and mixed down into a new mp3. All the instrumentation was done with real tracks in BIAB.
Bob

Beautiful work. I love the line "when the sound of every raindrop is as subtle as a train". Wow

Well done, both. That works!  John NB: I'm hearing a bit of distortion at 1:10 and 1:43 as if something peaks there momentarily.

WOW is the key word in this tread. Josie’s vocal took a very good song over the top. All I can add is Alison Krauss and Robert Plant look out!
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
