Hey guys...I started this song when I first got BiaB in 2016...I made the track before the song was written (rare for me)...I envisioned the song but knew I didn't have the chops to sing it...but now that Hayden and Natalie have joined me...well...the sky's the limit! ...I think they did a great job...let me know what you think...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan

Are You Getting Ready?

TAKEOFF.STY Takeoff Alternative Pop Rock was the BiaB style I started with
Key of Gm @120bpm
I recorded the track in 2016 and can't find the individual tracks or that style anymore
I added (from the Yamaha Genos) the fingerpicked acoustic guitar, some added percussion and thunder sounds

Vocals: Synthesizer V: Hayden (lead), Natalie (alto) and Hayden (tenor)

Captivating intro with that great sounding acoustic guitar ... then the drum beats into a powerful groove. Excellent vocals, mix, production, melody.

Christian rock at its best.
Super intro followed by a great groove.
The synth voices sound very organic!
As usual outstanding lyrics.

Hi Dan.

This is incredible listening.
You've created an amazing song and a stellar production.
In addition, your use of Synth V's vocaloids Hayden and Natalie is outstanding (and then some).
The vocal realism that you have managed to achieve is breathtaking. Honestly, they sounded like real people to me.
Very, very impressive work!

--Noel

Noel...thank you so much...I think this song showed me the potential for Synth V recording...vocal realism is the challenge for sure...getting the kids to sing with emotion and passion may not be in the cards...thanks again...Dan

Dan,

What an epic sounding production. The Synth V voices sound excellent and full of emotion. Awesome use of this technology and a flawless execution.

Very cool that you started this song so long ago - nice that you have been able to bring it forward.

Great production here. I particularly like the chord structure and arrangement. SynthV vocals really work on it.


Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

The lead and harmony vocals well represent the quick progress you are making with this technology.
The whole thought of programming that and creating all the nuances makes our heads spin! smile

The acoustic sounds excellent as does the entire mix. The helds are very nice.

Well done!
