Thank you and mucho apologies for the delayed response. I've been told on my other tracks that compression is needed. That is my next feat in this self taught hobby. As the saying goes - it's a labour of love. You know what I'm talkin bout.

CHEEERS Mate! (clink)

First, thank you for your nice comment.

Second...yes, I know the vox get drowned a bit in places. It was quite difficult to level all of the parts out - some spots were quite blaring, while others were much softer. In the end, I could use some tips on how to handle those kinds of situations if you've ever had to deal with that. I literally spent days trying just to normalize the volumes of the different parts.

Thirdly, I built the track around her vocals. I felt a very jazzy vibe from her, so I made sure to use jazz beats.

Finally, the song sort of morphed into a meaningful topic about bullying. I'm quite pleased it did as it's become a subject of concern lately in the schools.

Thanks for listening and I love your avatar - the cassette tape. Long live pencil winding!

Thanks much! I like to provoke mood changes in my tracks...looks like it was accomplished on this one. Thanks for noticing.

Back in the 80's when I would make mix tapes (haha) I made sure to put songs in such an order that I felt would take the listener on a journey. So, that kind of structure reflects in my tracks too. And not so much on purpose...just instinctual really.

I'll check out your stuff too. ;-)

Thank you. A true musician/artist will appreciate all things creative. It's good to be open to different sounds. Super glad you approve. I'm watching out for more of your work. I stated earlier on your acapella that the vocals were good as is. Yes, they worked for this track, but holy heck I had to splice up the volumes on different parts of each take because some spots were louder/softer than others. If and when you get new and improved equipment I would love to collaborate again with you specifically on this track (maybe others) so we can really get that beautiful voice of yours more noticed.

Killa...where you at?

Thanks Killa! Really cool simple beat you crafted there. This was the second track that I used at a significantly lower BPM. It opened a whole new world for me slowing things down a bit. Thanks for the tip too! So glad it worked for both of us. I'll keep an eye out on you...you have good instincts. :)

Thanks so much! Old school rules. :)

I'd like a hand at all different genres...got a few to try still.

Thanks for downloading. Thrilled it's from the likes of you as your style is awesome.
