Thanks a lot Richie. To be honest, when I first heard the acapella, I was thinking about something COMPLETELY different. But it came to this, and I'm more than satisfied someone likes that tune, because it's both very close to the music I like to listen and very far from what the kind of music I usually write...

So thanks again for taking the time to listen and leaving feedback, and as I notice that your influences are all songwriters I like very much, I'm gonna listen to your tunes right away...

Peace,
Chris.

Hi Ritchie,
it's always really pleasant to read your positive and motivative comments...

Happy you like the production.
Thanks

WOW.. thanks for the compliment. I've heard your stuff so I know you know your music... i'm speechless..

hi richie, thanks for your time to listen and your comments, as i dont read write or recognise specific cords or notes, i cant pick out exacly what you are pointing out - i do all my music by ear and try to blend the loops and vocals i find in the most pleasant way possible that i hear for myself, it may be my ear is not as tuned as yours and i really do need some proper music teaching but with limited time and money never have had the chance to pursue this option, however as a hobby its good fun and thats all i aim to achieve, if anyone else likes what i do thats a bonus. much respect and envy to all true musicians i can only wish ! - will look up your stuff and see if i can learn anything - many thanks

Thank you so very much for your enthusiastic comment,Richie :) You know what,...always when i listen to MIM4E´S vocals,a song just comes out of nowhere.Somehow her vocal style just lights me right up.

Yep,the drums are punchy indeed.Nice observation there ;) For me it´s a goal to make everything equal in a mix.Of course sometimes you have to choose what is the loudest but if you work very hard,you can make all equal. I hate it when one instrument eclipses everything else.

But of course,for MIM4E´s vocals,i am ready to push others back a bit :D

Heheh,that solo was meant to be a LOT stranger,i was about to make a real bizarre solo that would be out of time even in places,lol. Sometimes i rrrreally like to push it,hahah.But in the end i made the solo a little easier.Now the solo hints at that weirdness in few places.

Thank you for the great comment,Richie. GOD bless you :)

Thank you very much for your kind words,Richie :) Finally i got to do a Motown styled song,yaayyy! All it took was 20 seconds of listening to the vocals of Ms.Vocalist MIM4E and i got the whole song right then and there.

Yeah,those drums actually capture that Motown sound and feel.Also the bass came out really better than i hoped for.That bass is actually played with midi as it is and i left some mistakes in there too. What you hear with the bass is what i recorded.

And i totally agree,put humor in there sometimes,it wont cost us anything,heheh.

Thank you for the feedback. Somehow this site has REAL musiclovers in here.Its great!

GOD bless you guys! Lets keep on rocking and keep on improving!

Hey Ritchie!
Thanks for all your compliments.

Giving the illusion that everything was made at once is a very exciting game!

I spent a little time wondering how to make it sound. First I made a complicated version.
But as I was hearing to the arrangment, I wanted to remove something. After a couple of "cuts", this version is the simpliest one, though I still don't know if the keyb solo is necessary...

thanks "Richie".. the 'piano' sound is the Vintage '74 Rhodes from a Motif. As far as doing the vocal justice, I think it's the other way around, her vocal does the track justice. Oh and the chords?... GOSPEL!!

Thank you!
And you seem to be someone who really knows music!
I'm flattered.

Yes, I always try to respect the voice. A good melody always gives the right message.
And a respectful arrangement makes it live...

Thnx Richie:)

I would love to hear what you do with "Lost and Found"!!! Just gimme a holler when you're done!!!! :D

Hi Richie,
Thanks for listening. The drums are done by a session drummer - I downloaded them and built the track around them. The guitar harmonies were done on a Les Paul and the outro solo on a PRS Custom (for the whammy bar). There are little bits of Guitar Synth peppered throughout!
Thanks, Jamie.

Thanks Richie!
Twanna is a special talent and friend.If any part is exceptional it's because of her.

Thank you for the review!

thanks richie.

Hello Richie! First of all sorry for the late reply to your comment... I am truly happy to hear you like it :)
Best wishes for the new year!

yeh, back then i could sing "out", now i have neighbors and mostly only get to sing during the evening hours. [sad face]

thanks richie.

thanks richie, now i gotta go listen to this paul guy's free haha. thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, I will tell my son Drew too. We are working on a mix tape for him now.

Glad you've enjoy it!!! Thank you!!! :)

Hello Richie,

I appreciate your review and nice comments on my slow rock song. Making a good song takes a lot of time and patience....since I am basically a one-man band here in my home, I have to put everything together myself. Sometimes I do the final mastering as well since I enjoy doing that part too.

I'll check out your page here and give you a review back.
Thanks again,
Randy
