Here is my latest song it is contempary Christian. All of the instruments are real tracks, as some of you may know I have been under the weather, so you will hear some nasal in the vocal and it is a little strained at times, but just had to record something, LOL! 518 Elec Bass RD Nashville Ev8^Hihat,Ride 362 Rhythm Guitar 542 Dreamy Rhythm Elec Gtr (used only after 1st chorus for break) 1599 Dreamy Rhythm Elec Gtr 2 (used for intro and throughout til half way break) Endure

Robert,
Nice to see you posting again..
Good write. Good vocal. Good production. Good mix.
I seldom make lyric suggestions... but (there's always one of those, isn't there?) Something to try if you feel like it... Break the last line of your chorus into 2 ... "if you endure..... endure to the end".
I like it.

Hi Robert...
This is our first time to listen to you...we've been here about three weeks and still feeling our way around.
That was a real nice track! We enjoyed our listen. We particularly liked the Bridge where you muted all the instruments except the guitar.
Very nice, indeed! Best to you...

Hi Robert.
I loved this one.
I think your production is fabulous and the recording and mix is just so professional. I couldn't hear anything wrong with your voice in this one. In fact, I think your singing gets better with every song. Still, I hope you're well on the mend.
Excellent.
ROG.

Hi Robert,
I love the song and the arrangement. It's great. Well done. One of your best yet.
I'm going to disagree with some others here on the vocal. I totally understand getting tired of being sick and wanting to sing anyway - been there and done that. And back when people paid me to sing, I was a no show only once - so I also get the show must go on attitude. <grin> However, IMO, you should re-sing this when you're totally well as there are places where I hear your voice struggling. With a song as good as this one, I'd re-sing it. My two cents.
Josie

I really like the placement of the vocal in the mix. It has a clear dry presence that sits perfectly.
much enjoyed!

Thanks everyone for the feedback, Scott I got the acoustic guitar sound by using a high pass filter at 80hz and then using a rhythn guitar preset from one of my 10 band eq's
Here are frequencies and the cut/boost
31hz= -12 63hz= -8 125hz= -3 250hz= -3 500hz= -4 1K= +5 2K= +5 4K= +8 8K= +2 16K +5
It makes the acoustic cut through as well as moves the low frequencies out of the way of the bass, drum and vocal. this preset may work well for some songs and not so much with others, really depends on the tone of the acoustic guitar. If it is a standard acoustic guitar sound this preset works well; if the tone is already lacking low frequencies this can be to much. Hope this helps!

Hi Robert, It's good to see you again This is a wonderful song on so many levels. On my system, each component of the mix sat perfectly with the other components. Your writing, you performance and your production were excellent. A great listen. All the best, Noel

Robert, I'll just 2nd whats already been said. Excellent all around! I would agree with Josie that you should re-do the vocal... It doesn't sound bad, but I can also hear your sickness causing you to struggle in a couple of places. Nice job! Greg
