Well, here is my 2nd effort on the trusty iPad! Both my Mac and PC are still on the blink. I'm enjoying the feel and portablilty of the iPad. Auria is a strong daw with some really good plugins.

This one is called Love Will Never Give Up On You. I have some friends who have gone through some devastating events in their life recently, and I was thinking of them when I wrote this one today.

I played the piano, and the strings and flute softsynths, and the rest is all RealTracks.

Great song Steve! Nice arrangement and the vocal harmonies sound great! keep up the good work.

Steve,

Great song. The production sounds great as well - so cool you are using an iPad...

Bob

Beautifully uplifting song Steve!
Amazing you did it on an Ipad.

Steve,
Pretty (and emotional sounding)song.
Very nice production - (loved the backing vocals)- heartfelt vocal and enjoyable piano.

Peter

Steve,

Very good.
Smooth, lovely harmonies in all the right places and your vocal is warm and heartfelt.

Robert

Hi Steve. Always love your smooth sound and beautiful voice and this is no exception. Good job.

Ps did I miss the memo about BIAB being available on an iPad? Mind you, don't have an iPad but do have an iPhone that I am joined to the hip with.

Really loving the background choir here. Great job!

This is very touching Steve! Great job!!

Beautiful write, Steve. The chorus is killer.

Your productions are always classy. This is yet another.

Beautiful vocal (as always).

Super nice! A great listen.

floyd

Nice in so many ways.

Insightful lyrics and that BGV chorus is right on time.

Yeah, really enjoyed that song.

So many home truths within this song, all a compilation with the music flow into a beautiful and well sung rendition
I really enjoyed this

Very, very nice Steve!! I love the even, meditative feel of the music. Very nice arrangement and BG vocals. Beautifully done!! Take care. Greg

Thank you, Anthony! Really appreciate your kind words!



Thanks, Bob! Glad you like this one. And the iPad does make it fun!



Thanks so much, Josie! I always appreciate hearing from you. I have the iPad Pro 12.9, so it's easier to see with my "mature" eyes.

There are a few really good daw's for the iPad. I'm using Auria Pro, with an iRig Pro interface. Everything is very portable. And I have practically zero latency with Auria on the iPad.

Since my Focusrite interface quit working on my PC, I am still able to use the laptop's built-in sound for Mand In A Box, and then transfer the individual RealTracks generated over to the iPad for using in Auria. Very simple, but surprisingly powerful setup,

Steve,

Fantastic song, really enjoyed it. Astonishing that you finished it on an iPad.
I must check out that DAW.

The production is so clean and open and such excellent vocals (both solo and choir).
That is also such a beautiful rich piano sound (what piano/plugin is it?).

Cheers
Rec

An iPad isn't exactly my thing, but this song is!
Beautiful piano playing and a beautiful voice (as always).
Also love the choir!!

Rob

Steve, Great write and a great chorus. Your productions are always top shelf. Very enjoyable. Tom

Thanks, Peter! Appreciate your comments. Glad you like this one.



Thank you, Robert. Your kind words are very appreciated!



Thank you! Always like hearing from you! No, you didn't miss a memo. I am still able to use the built in sound card on my laptop, so I do the BIAB generations on the pc, and then move them to the iPad, where I use the Auria DAW app. I have the iPad Pro 12.9, so the screen isn't so small, and I can hold it up to my nose if I need to, to see.



Thanks, Will! Appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment. Glad you like the choir!

Hey Steve, you might be interested to know that I just showed this amazing song to someone who was wondering about the potential of combing Band-in-a-Box and Auria for iPad Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Beautiful song. Very heartfelt lyric and vocal. Well done

Steve - I really like the RealTracks you used for this song... it was nice to hear that Fiddle come in

This is our "Hot Forum Topic" for today!

Somebody mentioned "classy." Yep, that is an excellent word to apply to your productions.

The piano and the vocals are very high bar indeed. And apple device or not the production
is outstanding.

The message is very poignant...well poignant has many meanings -- perhaps touching is better.

The notion that love is there and will never give up on you is a wonderful addition to the thought of "don't you ever give up on love." It's nice to think that perhaps it is everywhere and we only need to realize that.

We enjoyed the listens!

J&B

Super song this one.
Excellent melody and vocal.
Nice effect of second vocal.

Sergio

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond...



Thanks, David! Glad you like it! (I really enjoyed listening to your latest!)




Thank you, Floyd, for the very kind words!




Herb, your comments are very appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it.




Thanks, Paddy G. I appreciate your time, and the kind words.



Thanks, Greg. Always good to hear from you!
