Here is an original song "The Reason" I wrote in 2008. All the instruments are BIAB, It was recorded with a $13.00 Mic so I really had to eq vocal, I used a High Pass filter I cut at 250 hz. There is also a traditional tune O Little Town of Bethlehem. I just recorded it today, My voice is still on the mend. The guitars are midi and the fiddle Realtracks. I appreciate any feedback and comments. Merry Christmas!


The Reason

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Robert,

Very well done. A very nice song. Great mix. The simplicity of the acoustic guitars and pedal steel is perfect. And your vocal sounds good.

It would be quite cool if you could have a "choir" singing along on the chorus - maybe run your vocal through the harmonizer. Think it would really "set it off"...

Great job.

A go along with Floyd: Very well done. And your vocal sounds good.

Thanks Robert..just the right message for the season..I agree with Geunther about adding a choir backing..

Thanks jo131, F.M.M and Tano Music for listening to my songs sharing your own as well. Merry Christmas!

Hi Robert,

As others have said, the simplicity of this arrangement is a major strength of the song. Well done.

Regards,
Noel

Hi, Robert. I had a listen to "Little Town of Bethlehem." It's a nice arrangement: simple and to the point. Very effective, and where you drop everything down for the final verse is +1 Super Effective.

My only negative comment is that you pop T's and S's throughout the song. I don't think that shows up in other songs, so it might just be how close you are to your mike. This sort of stuff can be surgically corrected in a lot of DAWs, but it's not a big thing.

Good to hear you are on the mend!

Thanks dcuny, I appreciate the constructive criticism. Thanks for listening!
