A nice rendition, Ed. The vocals are loud and clear. Sounds like it was recorded live in a chapel...

Mr. Shaw...

Your singing, the accompanying, sparse instrumentation, the time-stopping tempo, the heavenly reverb FX and the familiar lyrics combined to create a soul-stirring, spiritually reassuring performance.

Thank you for it.

Floyd, I certainly appreciate how fine tuned this ears of this forum are. Suppose that's a consequence of so much recording? Well, what you hear there results from isolating the vocal track in mastering mode, 1) bringing down the treble and upping the bass with EQ. The real change was came from 2) Using the multi band compression feature to adjust the voice volume in three ranges of the track, high medium and low. With the 3 options, I was able to adjust voice deficiencies and get the volume just where it ought. You know what a challenge levels have been for me.
Bluage, thank you for that kind response. Right you are, I have three elements: BB backing, Voice, Guitar. That permits me to mess around like you read about above while keeping it under control.

Wow - I thought this was a powerful rendition smile It has a rustic feeling to it, but it actually suits the song really well. It has an almost haunting quality to it, I found.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Super mix Ed. Loved this. I think this is my favorite tune of yours. Sounds like you are standing at the altar in the church. Well done

Thank you, Good Fellows. You're too kind. For my next trick, I will introduce the sound of the actual PRS Standard, Made in USA, as opposed to the SE Santana on the previous tracks. The mike is a $48 Shure. It's not that I don't have better.

Ed,
I`m with Floyd,this sounds like a church recording... and the feeling of your vocal made me think I`d walked into you singing to a congregation of one!
Timeless.

Thanks for the listens and kind comments, Forum Pals. Your comments help me prioritize impacts going forward. I'll be careful to try and preserve as much authenticity whilst continuing to tweak production values. Certainly YouTube has been experiencing an increase in traditional gospel content lately, by the way.

Hi Ed,

I'm sitting here listening to you sing while I type.

This is an excellent performance.

I can hear and clearly understand every word you are singing. For me, the signature of all your work is the sincerity that underlies all your presentations and this one is up there with the very best of them. As floyd indicated, it sounds like you are using the natural acoustics of a fine cathedral and the effect is terrific, inspirational even.

I really enjoyed this journey.

All the best,
Noel

Well done Ed!

For a sparse (all you need) arrangement it sounds HUGE on our monitors.

As so many mentioned...like it was recorded in a church with great acoustics.

Nice!

Thank you, Janice and Bud, for those kind words. Ah, the joy of a good monitor! A pair of CVS 1000 watt CP-8s changed my life. And my checkbook. And, right you are, I have settled on a simple formula: BB, vocal, guitar, overflow, two tracks each. (I know, now I need the 16 track frown Seriously, thank you for that monitoring. You know how I struggle with final render.

Inspiring story for us all. I think they started with silo singing and apparently it got out of hand.

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."
