Great vocal and lyrics. I also liked your chord progression. The mix was spot one. _________________________ I was in Home Depot today and a young kid called me an old fart If you are looking for your child he is in a dryer in aisle 4. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB and RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software and some hardware.

Love the synth on the end. The long end fade is like a never-ending afternoon. _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it.

A great blend of the BIAB and "real". There's a fair bit of sibilant/plosive stuff going on - particularly in the intro. The synth solo outro fits in with the era/genre but, to be honest, the sample is a little cheesy. Well done, good performances and a cool arrangement. _________________________ Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe Pop on over to The Recording Rebels for positive, honest commentary, critiques and support. https://therecordingrebels.com

Kudos for that. The song was excellent, too.

I haven't heard any earlier versions so I can only comment on what I'm hearing here. The tempo is perfect. I'm finding it hard to imagine it at any other tempo, actually. I love the ethereal and drifting-and-dreaming feel of the arrangement. Really nice work. Regards, Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

I hesitate being critical but........... It's such a nice song I thin it could use a better mix treatment. It sounds like everything is competing for the same space. Try some focused EQ to give each part it's own space. moto _________________________ An Old Man Make'n Music https://sites.google.com/view/captainmoto-com/home?authuser=0

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac Review – Users' Dreams Come True

Read all about what "Dr. Dave" Walker thinks of his latest copy of Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac with his review, Band-in-a-Box for Mac 2021 – Users' Dreams Come True.

"2021 is a big leap forward to the best Band-in-a-Box for Mac yet! If you have been putting off upgrading, or even if not, NOW is the time to upgrade! And if you haven't got it yet, you owe it to yourself to get Band-in-a-Box 2021.

Maybe the most important point from all the talk about this version is that PG Music is listening to you, their customers. So if you have a feature that you really want in the program, write to them or chat from their web site. Let them know and yours just might be the next feature added."
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thanks again Dr. Dave for your enthusiastic feedback, we're thrilled that you love what we've done with Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac!
