Pretty song, well sung! laugh

BGVs placed far back that I barely noticed. Nothing much to say there - they did their job.

On the other hand, the strings and cymbal didn't stay in the background, and at times feeling like they were about to overwhelm the vocal (along with some other instruments, at some points).

The vocal also seemed a bit dry, but that's a personal choice.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

It is amazing how powerful a voice Amber had 30 years ago!

The added harmony, including the generated parts, fit in very nicely.

The BiaB elements and your additional performances make for a symphonic background.

We have not been particularly successful in porting over 30 year old songs of ours to work in BiaB.

Good work!

Great job combining the old(er) with the new! How difficult was it to align the tempo of the vocals from a studio setting with the BIAB tracks?

Dan and Amber,

That is a beautiful piece of music! Amber proved on this that she has the vocal chops to sing professionally! The message is great and will surely be a blessing to many listeners! Loved the change-up in the bridge section ! n you did an awesome job with the strings, (I felt they are mixed just like they need to be) and with the updated instrumental parts! This is a wonderful song that I could go on and on about! TB

Beautiful song, beautiful voice and a mix that lets Amber shine.
I would probably add a little more reverb to her voice and make her main vocals louder in the busier parts of the song.
After all, it's all about the vocals smile

Hey Dewey....thanks so much for your response...to answer your question...it is surprisingly easy when the first vocal is recorded with a MIDI clock or metronome...since I have recorded most of my old stuff with arranger keyboards all I have to do is strip the old recordings off of the original tracks (via SpetraLayers) and align them with the new band (via BiaB)...it's fun and I can update the tracks!
