Ray, we always love your thought provoking writes and enjoy reading the lyric again and again.

All the songs reaped the rewards of your "free to shout" session and we hope you can arrange more of those. wink

The lead and harmonies sound good and we especially liked the arrangement of the voices on the end of "You Seem Alien to Me."

Your instrumental performances as well as the RT choices sound ace to us.

Enjoyed them all!

Ray, it's like the difference between night and day! Your vocal sound great to me! Once again, I really love that chorus! It really stays with the listener for a while! Thanks, Torrey

Ray,

I not only like the vocal a lot, I like the way it is blended. This is really good. I genuinely enjoyed this.

They sound good (enough) and that helps the melody enormously. Maybe in future songs you can skip the doubles in the verses. That make the chorusses sound great(er) in my humble opinion.
But very well done! This is how I like future Ray-songs!!!

Thanks Hans,
They've been hidden becasue they weren't up to scratch.
The vocals will be thinned as I'm in the processing of "comping" the best parts into one track.


Cheers

Thanks J&B,
having and taking the chance with these songs is great because I'll be able to "stick a fork" in them sooner rather than later.
Such opportunities will be few & far between for the next six months or so.
Still, plenty happening to keep me busy.


Cheers

Thank you Torrey,

Basically the chorus melody is, as you can hear: root, 5th, root then semitone shift down, semi tone shift down to start again.
I prefer an excellent voice wielded by a passionate performer, such as yourself but needs must.

Thanks David,
A bit of Phil Spector, (without the pistol), stacked vocals helps the weak voiced like me.

Hi Rayc,

The sound of your guitars reminds me of shadows. Your voice is well mixed and fits perfectly with the instruments. Your sequence of chords is always interesting because out of the ordinary. Well done. I appreciated.

kindly regard

Yes, this sounds really good. As others have commented, there is nothing wrong with the vocal. Hitting the bottom of your range? I like your harmony.

Thanks JJF,
A bit of AC30 tone & a spring reverb can do wonders.

Bottom of my range & bucket I suspect.
Thanks ES.

You are making very good progress in that endeavor, Ray. These vocals sound far better than anything synthetic. And you're mixing them up front where they belong.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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."
