I needed some contrast, and I tried and failed at various options along the way, so I'm glad it works okay. Thanks for listening and for mentioning that.

Maybe there's hope for me. I'll second Bob's observation about your mastery of the pop/rock ballad in this modern-yet-timeless style. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for your positive and detailed feedback, Ron. It's always good to hear what works best for others. "Modern-yet-timeless" is a description I can very well live with smile

While I don't relate to the lyrics - though they're totally original in theme - I quote my YouTube comment: "This is a world class song on every level. I can easily imagine many top professional vocalists wanting to cover it." I empathise with your reply … but I'll message you with more.

Re: Know a VST3 plugin to stop feedback? Matt Finley 47 minutes ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
That price for a Waves plugin is not at all what I remembered. Thank you! I should have checked this first but thought it was out of the budget of the church. Didn’t they used to have copy protection that was problematic? I’ll look.

A lovely track, Mario, and what a professional sound! Each of the solo instruments give way to the others beautifully. So well put together. That EZ Keys piano is sweet too.

I like it. A witty write that's somewhat comical and sobering at the same time, and the mix is well balanced.

Re: Shut Up and Dance AurealiusB 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
WaoBand, Thank you so much for your positive posting! And yes, this is a good song to dance to. As they (long ago) used to say on American Bandstand, "it's gotta good beat." I grew up listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips. Motown music definitely influenced my songwriting. Also, once again Kathy used interesting imagery weaving dance lyrics into a relationship theme.

Re: Mario's House WaoBand 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Another 'Sunday' take it easy instrumental which perfectly hits the vibe. I recently turned 75 and while I expected it to be just another day it turned out really frustrating as I opposite to you I spent hours working on a new song and it just wouldn't come together and so I scrapped all related files! It was probably the mist frustrating birthday I ever had! laugh … It's okay, I got over it and continued work on a song I've been trying to get vocals sorted for for 2 years, and with Lucy and 2 other ladies doing BVs it should end up a fun corker!

The title automatically brought up the Gladys Knight and the Pips line "And if you like the music get up and dance", though yours is a very different song (tempo, style, etc). But a great dance song!

A FANTASTIC piece of music, Mario! So well done hitting all of these notes to create that Mid-Eastern vibe. It reminds a little of Phil Thornton & Hossam Ramzy's new age Egyptian-style music,
