https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/time-tide-and-tapestry-songDifferent to the instrumental version - the key has changed from G to Eb. Tempo increased from 85 to 95 BPM. The lyrics did not fit the original melody so changes were required there. The bridge also has a different chord progression. The intro now has 8 bars instead of 4.

Just like before

nice tune. Mellow and well done.
The mix is nice and clear. It's easy to listen to and hear everything nicely in it's place.
Good clean job on the vocals too.
I like it.

Wow - really nicely done Your vocals are tremendous on this. It is delicate, relatable, tender, and just a solid write all around. I thought the mix on this was tremendous as well. It sounds extremely professional. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Nice clean vocals, and a great balance of instruments.
Adding lyrics has elevated this song again.
Excellent production, absolutely.

Thanks Ember. When I composed the instrumental I wanted an alliterated title using the letter T. Not so hard. However, writing a lyric that incorporated all three words was bit more challenging. I wanted it to be clear the "Time and tide wait for no man" someone else's line and not of my own making, and that just left "tapestry," which I turned into a metaphor for either perfectly meshed or tangled relationships.

Brian,
a VERY tidy, compact and pleasant job.
You listed
Shure PG-58 microphone, Behringer XENYX QX1201 mixer, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface as your hardware.
Is that the signal chain for your vocal as well? I was wondering if you used the board before the interface for extra gain given it's a dynamic mic.
Your vocal is really well recorded and mixed - not a lot of folk use a dynamic for recording but yours is a great example of how it can get the job done.
Cheers

Yes, Ray, you are correct. Mic - Mixer - Interface. It's the same mic I use for my live gigs and it's been a solid performer for almost four years. The mixer not only has variables such as EQ, gain, compression, but also provides numerous FX presets (reverb, delay, chorus etc.). Errata: My original post indicated the mixer is Behringer XENYX QX1201. It's actually a 1202

Hi Brian,
I'm sitting here in Melbourne at nearly 8:30 am on a Monday that's looking a bit gloomy and somehow this song is a perfect fit.
I love the arrangement that you've put together. Your choice of instruments is super. The effect of using a sw16 background track against ev8 tracks is really excellent. I love the mood that this combination creates.
Everything about this is strong... your writing, your arranging and mixing, your singing and your final production. As I sit here listening, it was very easy to imagine you on stage and your group behind you.
All the best,
Noel

Very nice, beautiful song. Well crafted. Has a bit of a Jim Croce feel to it (that's a good thing.) Your vocals really sound nice and fit just right in the song.
Well done!

Hello, 'Ghostgum'...
You sure have a way with lyrics! They're so regretful, so sorrowful, that I felt as though I was the one who had 'done her wrong'. Great story-telling lyrics, man; compact, to-the-point, visually sharp and clear as the truth, loaded with feeling.
I made a remark in comments about another forum member's post concerning how richly musical the country-styled Real Tracks are, and the same thing applies in your song, Time, Tide and Tapestry. I must be opening up to the deeper pleasures of that genre!
This is the second song of your's that I've listened to. Your voice reminds me of a younger Willie Nelson, with its vulnerability to pain, but surprisingly hopeful in tone, regardless of the suffering.

Thanks, Noel. I'm amazed some of these efforts turn out as well as they do. The vocals for this one were more than a little rushed because our next-door neighbour was having a new air-con unit installed on the day in question (hammer-drills and angle-grinders to the fore!)
Fortunately, the tradies got peckish around noon and headed off to Hungry Jacks, giving me a brief window of opportunity.

Hi Brian ...
I had a real nice review written, hit the "submit" tab and whoosh ... it disappeared! More clutter in the dark regions of cyberspace, I would guess. That's the 2nd time this evening that's happened to me.
Anyway, to reiterate ...
I agree with all that's been said thus far. It's a great song and your delivery is so pleasant to the ears. The simplicity (yet perfectly full) of your backing tracks provides more than enough space for your voice shine ... and it does. You have a nice way with lyrics and a soothing voice. Thanks for the listening treat!

Just learned this song won a prize in the 2021 ASA Songwriter's Contest (In know it's the end of 2022 but things can happen rather slowly in this part of the world). My sincere thanks to the Band-In-A-Box team for providing such great tools for creating world-class backing tracks.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
