well good for you PieroPeluche....I would never guess you hadn`t done this hundreds of times before...This is top class R&B with a little touch of the 70s vibe (big decade for the sound)...the vocal is special (as would be expected from Patricia) and I must compliment you on the instrumentation and the fact that you have it perfectly placed around the nice up-front vocal sound....right on....Ed

Bravo....perfectly done...its a tune I have heard many times down East (Cape Breton) and a fav at the music fests there...I have done more than a few Celtic tunes (being originally from N Ireland) that try to combine the traditional & some modern sounds...but nothing like this Bill...beautiful work on the instrumentation and the vocal & harmonies are totally on the money.....very much enjoyed...I could go for a lot more like this.....Ed

Awesome....really....you two are magic together...I think you should do a CD....and send me a link....well done....Ed

Bravo Dave....the way the whole composition, instrumentation, playing & delivery comes together on this one it outa sight good..the nylon string & playing style do give it a touch of that Spanish air (I notice that a nylon string almost invites you to do that when you pick it up....though I haven`t done that in a long while)...superb playing & expression and I think you accomplished the space you were looking for...I mcould listen to this one for a long time, so thanks for the DL...goes on my mp3 player right away...Ed

Man...that is one addicting little acoustic guitar prog...I can hear why you loved it. Great piece of work on the song and its delivery...sounds dm fine to me...and better that much of what I hear on my radio.....well done....Ed

very nicely done...nice job on the lyrics & delivery...and I love that big fat piano sound....its so good it may be just a little bit overpowering, but I really like the piano even though I claim to be a bit of a guitar player....It makes for an interesting decision when you have two components of a mix that are both this good....my background taught me to always give priority to the vocal, so maybe I would either pull the piano back just a wee bit...or insert a mid-side processor (or stereo widener) on the piano to leave a bit of a space in the middle for the vocal (which is really well done)...I would do both..and pump the voical up just a tiny and fat notch....anyway...you have a good onbe going here...enjoyed the listen....keep on....Ed

Well, now that I`ve been listening to some of your tracks I know where to check when I need a bit (a lot in my case) of genre education...If I had been listening to this in my band days (just after the last ice age) I would swear somebody had slipped the goods into my brew....but, you know what...I`m getting to like it....its partly your fault FreeRadical....really did enjoy the listen...so now I have to go apologize to my ol guitar....keep on man.....Ed

Bet you didn`t use that matchbox & toothpick thing in this one FreeRadical...love the beat man..Have used a few techno beats in my own (mellow) stuff once in a while as I don`t pay much atention to genres when something sounds good....this sounds dm good to me....nicely done....Ed

wow....that is some smokin guitar playing by AllenV...amazing guitar chops definitely on display (If I could to borrow about 10% of them I`d consider myself dm good)....But then, the whole mix is just superbly done...I have to confess that D&B is not a frequent listening choice but now it looks like I best pay a bit more attention.....great work guys....Ed

What a nice surprise..I had no idea you might add your flute talents on this one..and from the way you developed the melody, the flute vibrato and those longer notes I can tell you have been doing this a while....beautifully done UChris...I am always honoured when a fellow musician uses something I have done and this one is a particular treat....Thank you.....Ed

Wish I had the kind of keyboard chops that did this one...nice work on the composition and the pro job on delivery...much enjoyed.....Ed

Really nicely done Mahloo13...I`m just listening on my pc speakers (haven`t fired up my studio pc today) but I`ve used them often enough as one of my mix checkers to know a good mix when I hear it...doesn`t hurt a bit that its a good country song and at times I think dome of the best ones (and some of the best guitar players) are burried a bit just under the stuff that we are fed by commercial radio...Its always a big pleasure to hear a mix where everything from the lyrics to the parts being played by every instrument are so super clean & clear and even my beat up ears didn`t have to guess what was going on.....bravo....Ed

A touch of the cinematic, particularly in the intro & a bit where you pulled the drums out..A lot going on and I hear some thoughtful composing...it might surprise you, but the outro with just the piano and that nice synth pad was the part I liked best...all round well done though....good job....Ed

Well, Patricia and Richie....I have never listened to music by either one of you that hasn`t made me go Wow...and when you do these collabs together its just like adding more icing to the perpetual cake..Tha vocals & harmonies and just top notch pro...and what I particularly like about the music it how it supports the vocal/song so perfectly...embellishing it and carrying it along without imposing...I likely sound like I`m gishing a bit...well, I guess maybe I am...Its just so cool to find music done so well...great stuff you two....Ed

crazy tune...and sounds like a fun one to do..your voice is your signature Vicen so there is no doubt about the artist here and while this is different for you it is good upbreat - uplifting music...and that always brings a smile....Ed

Yes...its is long by commercial standards but thank God we don`t need to pay attention to such things here...an epic journey much like the one we are all on..portraid in music for the ears and mind...well done Mosestone....enjoyed it all the way and the wee touch of Celtic air was most welcome....Ed

Now...this I like...beautiful little chord prog full of feeling..my kind of easy listening music...really well done ChrisNeal...enjoyed it big time so no suggestions to offer here...Ed

MapleBacon....just a bit of additional info on your latency/delay issue...Download a free driver called ASIO4ALL (they have a web site...or use whatever site you trust)..Install it on your computer..It works with everything I have tried it on (sometimes better than the original pro driver) including Acid Pro, Cubase, Sonar, etc and is likely on the hard drive in just about every studio..very good reputation....After you install it (its just a small file)..Open Audacity if thats what you want to use for recording....Go to EDIT....Then PREFERENCES....Then the Audio i.o tab...it should show up there...choose it as the audio driver...Bet it helps with the latency even without a recording interface...but you best long-run bet would be to get at least a basic interface..they all come with an ASIO driver....Good luck...Ed

Hey MapleBacon....keep working on figuring out that recording program...I`d like to hear more of your stuff..always enjoy the straight up acoustic guitar when its well played...There are lots of fellow musicians around here that are happy to pass on a bit of production advice if you are looking for any...There is a limiter plugin in Audacity that can pump the volume up for you but you likely need at lease a basic recording interface (with an ASIO driver) to get rid of the latency...keep on....Ed

Very nice up front mix Leukorrhoea...definite small club feel & appreciate the way you kept this one down to the basic instrumentation (I`m one of those who often clutter my mixes withall the toys)...love that guitar tone....well done....keep on...Ed

I think you did a great job on it Antranita...kudos to you on the lyrics and vocal delivery (like the harmonies too)..Harderthanthe rest`s track really supports your vocals nicely...its not overdone...just good backing for the way you developed the song.....a wel done to both of you.....Ed

holy s**t Richie.....where can I buy the CD...freakin great job on the music and the vocal is waaaaaay better that the stuff my radio`s been playing...really admire the way you have kept the instrumentstion so uncluttered...clean & clear...infectuous beat & bass...if I was scoring something this would get all the points...I aspire to doing somethingthis good some day....Ed

Beautiful listening piece of music trugrit...thoughtfully composed and delivered with talent....well done....I just downloaded the Alchemy Player VSTI...some fantastic sounds here...Ed

Vicen..this is an oustanding piece of mixing & production work...very up-front sound at commercial level without having the life squashed out of it...really well done...Besides it good listening & uplifting music even if the words are beyond my knowledge (reminds me a little of Hit The Road)...very well done...Ed

Just stopped by to check on you NDA...glad I did...I haven`t listened to anything you have done here that I don`t love man..this is another dandy & you could have kept it going for a while longer...great stuff my friend you d` man with the soul sound....keep on...Ed
