Reaching back a ways... Wrote this with Danny "Bear" Mayo. At the time, it was demoed using a female singer. The song was written so it could be done as either a male or female song. So I figured... what the heck... give it a go. Comments encouraged. I WISH IT WAS MEANT FOR ME i found a letter taped to the door of the place i moved into a few days before simply addressed to "my only love" i knew it wasn't for me but still opened it up the note said "hi, darling, i wish you were home days feel like years whenever you're gone i long for your touch, your tenderness forever yours" and "sealed with a kiss" oh how i wish it was meant for me if only it was my heart she needs love so strong should not go unanswered but all i can do is dream oh how i wish it was meant for me last night i answered a knock at my door but it wasn't me she was looking for she was surprised that he wasn't here i watched as she tried to hold back the tears i gave her the letter and i touched her hand to see her heart break was more than i could stand i said "wait just a minute" as she walked away something inside me was dying to say oh how i wish it was meant for me if only it was my heart she needs love so strong should not go unanswered but all i can do is dream oh how i wish it was meant for me all i can do is dream oh how i wish it was meant for me I did vocals and harmonies. ... and here is the Band... RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride RealTracks in style: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 (x 2) RealTracks in song: ~703:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Spirited Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2336:Viola, Background, Pop Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection) MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2066:Piano, Rhythm NewAgeAnswers Ev16 110 Hi-Q 001 01 Piano, Acoustic, Grand SampleTank.tgs Have at it. floyd

Hi Floyd.
That is simply wonderful. Beautifully sung and beautifully produced. I love the short guitar intro. When I use only guitar it sounds so thin but yours sounds grand and full. The cello and viola work very together.

Hi Floyd. Are they exactly the same generation of the same Realtrack panned left and right? Or are they a different generation of the same realtrack or are they different realtracks. Hope that makes sense to you (makes perfect sense to me!!) Sorry for all the questions.

Floyd,
Damn, what a beautiful song. Another impressive feat of imagination, musicianship and storytelling. And it all seems to flow out of you as naturally as tears from the eyes of the guy with that letter.
I know that getting performance after performance to hit this level of quality isn't easy, but you sure make it sound that way.

Hi Floyd. Are they exactly the same generation of the same Realtrack panned left and right? Or are they a different generation of the same realtrack or are they different realtracks. Hope that makes sense to you (makes perfect sense to me!!) Sorry for all the questions. Questions are good! There are actually 3 acoustic guitar tracks (4 if you count the strum that occurs later). The opening "licks" are from 2051 Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 085 A single measure that I copied and pasted a few places throughout - that was all I used from that. During the rest of the verse, it is 2 of the same RT: 365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 If you generate the 2 at the same time (say, one in the Guitar slot and the other in the Strings slot) BIAB will attempt to play different stuff between the two as they go - so they aren't playing the same thing. This is a fairly "subtle" type track, so the differences are not huge, so they blend nicely - the same but different. Pan one left and one right and you get a nice, full sound. You will hear that done a lot in Nashville productions if you listen closely (headphones) - almost a doubling of the acoustic track - but subtle differences - because it is separate recordings....

Thanks Floyd. I had never really thought of doing that! Am doing in on some of my backing tracks and will be using it quite a bit from now on. I like simple intros but get put off when they sound so spindly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Floyd, ho hum, just another masterpiece!
Your unique voice is so refreshing. Clear, distinct, and powerful. Always a pleasure to hear.
The production was absolutely flawless. A wonderful lesson from "the master" for all of us to glean from.
The intro did exactly what it should do...capture the listeners' attention.
It's difficult to improve upon perfection.
Thanks for another beautiful pattern in "How it should be done!"

floyd, Another in a long line of beautifully crafted songs. I really liked the drum editing in the verses. Nice touch. Nobody gets those acoustic guitars to sound like that. Perfect placement of the instruments. The viola and cello work well here. George Strait should have had you on retainer. That well you draw from never runs dry. I think your overall sound is getting fuller it seems to improve a little more with each production. Looks like Danny made some nice mailbox money. Those are some good tunes in his catalogue. I always look forward to hearing your latest post. You never disappoint. Great job! Tom

Hi Floyd...
What a great song and listen! You have such a strong, powerful and stunning voice. Everything about this is top shelf...perfect mix and fabulous vocal delivery. Heck, if I could sing only half as good as you, I'd be twice as good as most.
Totally enjoyed it! Another great song!!!
Al & Di

Hi floyd, I've been away from this forum for so long that the list of songs I need to listen to is at least a mile long. I'm presently working through that mile, or 1.6 kilometers as we'd say here in Australia, step by step. I'm coming back to this one when I have enough time to give it my full attention  See you again sooner or later! Noel

Richard - glad you liked it Damn, what a beautiful song. Another impressive feat of imagination, musicianship and storytelling. And it all seems to flow out of you as naturally as tears from the eyes of the guy with that letter.

Beautifully done.....Again!! A moving story with a great delivery, melodically and vocally! I too love the way the strings worked. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg Greg - thanks - always nice to have someone acknowledge the melodic side of things... the cello is always so easy to fit into things. I tried the quartets for this, but they didn't quite work, but the viola by itself (with the cello) fill in nicely.. This one really has it all - loved the song, production and great vocal. Excellent sound! Bob Bob - I do appreciate you saying those things... thank you. Joanne - always happy to help! (you know that!) Floyd, ho hum, just another masterpiece!

Summary of Changes in Build 2:
Fixed: Sometimes the position of the VST/DX plugs window (even if not visible) would prevent a drop, such as into the drop station, from occurring.
Fixed: When batch converting files, the volume of some file types such as wav/mp3/wma/mp4, etc. would be too low.
Fixed: In Chords Window, you could not enter held chords on Piano track.
Fixed: LeadSheet might not display tied notes on the last bar of a track.
Fixed: Pressing "M" key in Editable Notation to insert a new note at the current time location on the Staff was inserting a duplicate note rather than inserting it above an existing note.
Fixed: Loading in a MusicXML file could result in MIDI notes of zero instead of the currect MIDI notes.
Fixed: Dragging a file into the tracks window didn't always result in the effects slot for the track being setup properly for the file type dragged in.
Fixed: When inserting hard rest, and answering Yes to question about removing notes for the peg, it would remove notes from both clefs instead of the clef that the rest was inserted on.
Fixed: Potential access violation when deleting a note in staff window.
Fixed: Potential jukebox access violation if there were songs with the entire path of the filename being 256 characters or greater loaded into jukebox.
Fixed: Jukebox not playing the playlist in correct order in certain situations involving stopping/restarting, etc.
Fixed: When loading in a MusicXML file that has a specific guitar fretboard defined that matches one of our fretboards, the guitar tablature type will now be set for the notation.
Fixed: Ability to load in .MXL (compresssed musicXML file) as well as ability to load normal noncompressed musicXML file with the new .musicxml extension instead of just .XML.
Fixed: Hammer ons, pull offs, and slides are now being saved to MusicXML files.
Fixed: Exceptionally jittery timing indicator in the notation window during playback compared to older versions of RealBand.
Fixed: If the start of a generated section of a song didn't have a chord entered at the beginning of the section, then it could default to a C major chord instead of the most recent chord prior to the section.
Fixed: Potential access violation if song has micro-pegs and multiple notes on a peg.
Fixed: Accidental element that specified whether a note was displayed as sharp/flat wasn't eing saved to XML, even though the correct pitch of the note itself was saved.
