#529082 - 03/17/19 12:13 PM [User Showcase] It Ain't Love
Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 1372 Loc: Virginia USA Ezekiel's Storm Expert Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 1372 Loc: Virginia USA	It Ain't Love My professional duties over the past few weeks have not allowed me that much time for my songwriting hobby or for listening to a lot of the songs on the forum. I did manage this track. We sang a hymn in church in the key of Cm; I liked that key, and decided to write this song. (This song has nothing to do with the hymn, though.) For the mix, I used Reaper. I had been using Mixcraft, but it has been giving me all sorts of squeaks, pops, and squawks, and other unsolvable mystical audio skullduggery. I am just starting to get the hang of Reaper.

And though I don't know what hymn that was, you gave it a nice own turn (if that's how they call that). The vocals are very good.

I especially liked and can relate to this: "I need obstruction to keep my heart from calling" and "I need the colors I’m hearing in my head" Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Bass & drums -- super. Guitars are excellent. Organ, too... Nice use of stops... Good vocal. Love the harmonies - are those sung or "created" (if so, how?). (The harmonies are a tad "crisp" in my speakers). Cool. Very catchy. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Nice lines and a fine power vocal along with a very effective use of RT/RD's. The mix sets up a strong soundstage...nearly took my monitors off the shelf!
