Josie - so glad you found something that touched you (looking forward to your next!)

Joanne - thanks for taking the time to listen...

John and Bob - thanks for "dropping by"... I know the strings seems like an obvios addition at the end.. I just haven't been very successful at doing that...

Kevin - thanks for that... I tried to listen for what you may be hearing, but I'm missing it. If you get back here and can think of a way to pinpoint it, I'd be interested...

Very nice. The piano has an almost Eagles "Desperado" feel to it. Excellent mix of vocal and single instrument. Perfection is not when nothing left to add...but when nothing left to take away.

Floyd,

Absolutely beautiful! I also preferred the solo version. This one is so intimate, the solo version gives it the best presentation, in my opinion. I do agree with John, a nice string quartet towards the end would be a nice touch (but then, I play the violin, so I may be just a little biased )

Very nice!

Excellent Lyrics and singing, I get a error when trying to authorize Sample Tank too. Doesn't sound like you need it! Great Job FJ!

FLoyd..just getting to the message boards after being away for a week...I listened to both...after the solo, I thought "this is really great". After the BGV, I thought "Still great...but I would tone/mute/soften the BGV's a bit. I think that -- as good as the BIABettes are -- it can still have a little of the "computer generated" sense to it, particularly on quiet, personal performances like this..I felt a little of that.
Great composition..thanks for stepping out of your normal groove for us.

Really nice. Listening to all the versions, I think the quartet version sounds a bit too "thick", and not as personal as the first two version. It's also more obviously synthetic.

I've got the same reaction to the piano RealTracks as Kevin does. They're lovely sounding, but the transitions can be a bit jarring. I think it's more obvious on the piano than other instruments - even the guitar - because of the multiple strings. The ringing tones of the prior phrase cut, and there's a "thump" at the start of the phrase, perhaps from the pedaling. Since it happens on the beat, it's easy to cover with other instruments.

In any event, it's an excellent song and a great vocal performance - plus, a great mix that's clean and balanced. It's a real joy to listen to.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Bud - Thanks. Coming from a guy who gets the most out of the fewest number of tracks, that means something...

Steve - Thanks. Suppose the next time I need a string quartet I can get you to "pitch in"?

Tommy - appreciate that, man.

Tano - thanks for listening - and the feedback...

David - always appreciate when you "put in your 2 cents" - always thoughtful critiques. I'll have to listen more closely to the piano tracks from here on...

This got me thinking, so I put together some RTs and exported them to my DAW for some closer examination. For the most port, it sounded great.

But there were a number of places where the "splices" were pretty obvious, especially where one phrase was faded out (artificially) and joined to another that faded in. It sounds sort of "backwards" because the initial attack is removed.

I think this is one of the few places where the MIDI Super Tracks have an edge over the RealTracks.

Anyway, that's just me nitpicking. The song is still nice, whatever perceived flaws there are in the piano track.
