Sometimes, it's like the lyric is right there, but just out of reach. And I'll try writing something, and it'll fall so short from what I was aiming for, I wonder if I've ever written a song before. Sometimes it's a bit like chasing a ghost - T.S. Eliot comes to mind: frown

Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
—But who is that on the other side of you?

I think it sounds good. FWIW, i've very rarely gotten a RT solo that I liked (other than turnarounds) w/o extensive comping.

Thanks!

I've had the exact experience - the RTs sound awesome, but need some nudges (or shoves) to focus where you want them to be.

That's why I'm looking at sampled guitars - but they have their own special challenges, because you have to build it from scratch. With RTs, it's more a matter of focusing in on the ideas that the player offers.

May the lyric muse return!

Yeah, I'll just keep plugging away.

I'm looking forward from something new from you as well. laugh

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