I like the way you have sung this, your voice suits the whole mood of the track and what a fantastic! track by DanMed, he did a great job Nice collab Both!
It's nice when someone takes the time to make a track for us to sing on, I'm always surprised and honored by it.
Keep up the good! writing and singing you certainly smashed this one. Kudos!

Love it from start to finish you both did a great job well done you two :)

It was hard for me too to make music on programs, but my musical background really helped me as i was going to music school from age of six (and now i'm 40), played piano and acoustic guitar in orchestra and i'm making music on fruity loops from fl 3 and now its 24 lol. Trough time i learned a lot and what i don't know i ask as i'm surrounded and friend with many great musicians in different styles of music or i search on internet (there is almost everything on youtube). On this particular track i was helped by father of my wedding best man who plays jazz and blues for 50 years now on Croatian coast during summer seasons. That's why it was little easier to me. So, just continue to try, plz don't give up, you will come there. Most important is that you have desire to make music and that you are enjoying in it. Cheers Rita.

Love it! Beautiful. I like this voice also ;) Lyrics are great. I really enjoyed in making blues this few weeks and i will continue to do it. Thanks for inspiration Rita. Cheers. :)

Excellent !!! Congrats to both of you !! Rita , your voice reminds me popular female singers in this genre of music !! Keep it up !! Cheersssss !!!

Great job on this track RitajustRita...DanMed took it to another level with that beat...wait, do they call Blues backing tracks beats, or just an instrumental..Lol..idk. This is classic, excellent work on all fronts.

Thanks for letting me know.

Another great track rita your vocals are becoming stronger and stronger i enjoyed my listen :)

Hi Rita , it sounds amazing !! The beat ,the music and mainly the meaning of the song have perfectly suited your voice !! Cheers !!

I look forward to your music. You've come out of your shell and sound amazing.
Is Dimestop alright he hasn't been on the discord.

Nice mellow vocals, blended nicely with the beat, keep it coming

Hello RitajustRita, just enjoyed your track, your voice sort of gives you the feeling in this track that if you screw up you gonna get just what you're asking for and it ain't good.....your vocals are always great to hear. The music matches the lyrics and tone of this piece very well.

I love it! Your voice is awesome. Good job Rita!

Dark lyrics, beautiful vocals, love what you did with the accompanying voice.

the chorus is my favorite part, had to replay it a few times hahah ... loved it

Nobody should say that you'll never be a singer because you are! Good music and voice.

Very nice and smooth track, I loved it.

great vocal again and great work by frenz too absolutely great track :_)

Absolutely outstanding - well done to you and The Frenz - Rita, this is superb! Kay0s

Hi Rita, I did not do much, just tweak a little bit.

The extra voices is you, I took 4 copies of your vocal for the chorus parts.
Each copy received some treatment to have slightly different timbre and timings like it was sang by someone else.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Reaper has stretch markers to compress/stretch parts of an audio item. So I stretched/compressed each copy on multiple points in the audio a little bit to have slightly different timings for each voice, then pitched up 1 octave and corrected the formant (avoid mickey mouse voice) so each voice sounds a little bit different, and different to your original)
==TECHNICAL=END=

Normally you would have a real choir. But you can simulate that yourself by singing multiple extra takes for the chorus ("choir") like you do for the background voice, now just more takes (separate recordings/audio files), and in this case preferably 1 octave higher to eliminate the need to pitch.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Put each "choir" take in a separate track in your DAW, match all roughly to your you main vocal so they sound like a "choir", then spread the voices by changing the PAN for each "choir" voice, you get width in the sound. If possible group them or send the output to a bus, put some reverb on the "choir" and take the "choir" volume down, the main vocal should virtually stand in front of the audience, the "choir" in the back accompanying the main vocalist, adjust to your taste.
==TECHNICAL=END=

The guitar part was a VST (NI Kontakt, lib Kontakt, Rock Guitar) with an automation on volume to fade the guitar sound in and out.

As mentioned before, I loved your original track and just had to "play" with it :-)

Very well done Rita !!! Wonderful vocals!!

Great choice of music, to go with your distinctive voice.
Sad song, hope it is not about yourself.

Hi Rita, well done, I'm loving it so much I had to play with it :-)

Beautifully done. Cool lyrics and I say again, I love the timbre of your voice. Ha, predictive text tried to change timbre to timber... That would have been weird lol.

Hello RitajustRita, very much enjoyed this blues ballad, love the guitar....and the overall deep haunting feel of the track about being a loner......good stuff once again.
