I finally had a chance to write a new one! This one was a real challenge, to say the least. My Mac Mini crashed a few weeks ago, while I was finishing up the Praise and Worship project I just released. So I had to master all the songs on my PC. Now, my Focusrite Saffire 6 is causing a blue screen of death on my PC all of a sudden! So I wrote this song and recorded and produced it on my iPad, using Auria. This is the first time I have done anything with it, so I hope it turned out okay! The song is appropriately titled Moving In The Right Direction. All the instruments are RealTracks/RealDrums, with some additional percussion from me. All the vocals are me. I hope you enjoy it! Moving In The Right Direction Here are the RT's/RD's used... RealTracks in song: 1717:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockStraight Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2367:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm TexasBluesRockJohn Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 845:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockPopping Ev 120 (A:sync) RealTracks in song: 1718:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 674:Organ, B3, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1169:Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: RockTexas^2-a:HiHat, b:HiHatSyncKick *******************

Superb! And done via iPad? Take away my big iMac screen and I'm toast.  "Some people want to make you fail They won't stop. They never will Stay away from their web of deception Seems like a simple thing Just open your eyes and dream And keep looking in the right direction" The older I get the more I realize this. Not worth engaging them...just move on, indeed. so.....we like the vocals, the write, the arrangement, the use of RT/RD's and the mix -- I think that about covers it Your lead vocal really carries this song extremely well...very engaging. Kudos and thanks for the addition to our soundcloud mix! J&B

Steve,
I enjoyed the rocking sound here (reminded me of JJCale) and the lyrics are very good.
Nice relaxed vocals and an amazing production for iPad.

Hi Steve, Well..... the iPad did a good job. But of course that is because YOU did a good job. And we'd like to quote J & B: "we like the vocals, the write, the arrangement, the use of RT/RD's and the mix -- I think that about covers it" Rob and Anne-Marie

"Inch by inch, a day at a time And you're one step closer to the finish line Never let the hard times get you down You've got to keep the right perspective Don't worry about the imperfections You just keep on moving Moving in the right direction" Very catchy lyrics Steve, absolutely loved it! Thanks for the submission

Steve,
That was a great listen! Your arrangements seem to be getting better and better (if that's possible because you set the bar up in the stratosphere from the start).
Everything about this says "music at its best".
As I said on Soundcloud, the intro is really well designed for setting the song's stage... and the song delivers bigtime!
All the best,
Noel
