Thanks.... update coming shortly.
I've added a few vocal changes.

When I changed to single voice  Sound cloud kicked it out for copywrite issues 🙂

will come back with another version...  this was experimenting.  thanks for the comments.
Will try adding some harmonies later...

Very nice Adam. and well mixed.
Sounds great on my Focal Trios.

If I had a few nit picks they would be I didn't like the horns.. they sounded sampled and so did the flute or down to bad recording?.
I base this on the beginning of the song as everything was so clear and real.

Well done mate.

Hi folks haven't posted any material for a while as I have been busy with live streaming work!
Anyway here is a song by a group called Casting Crowns and it is a work in progress for me.

As always I appreciate your comments and will update the project as they come in.
Cheers,

Gary
 
 

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left his throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Mary shivers in the cold
Trying ti keep the savior warm
Born among the animals
Wrapped in dirty rags because there was no room for him
In the world he came to save

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh countries of Scandinvia
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the bridegroom has returned
And has carried his bride away in the night, in the night

Norway, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
Norway will we go down in history
As a country with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
Scandinavia 
Looks like another silent night

Lol... yep mine is low budget... 😕 

Dont worry mate... you have some good stuff there.
Mine is just a fancy desk  🙂

Just lock the thread!!
This has become very childish and does not represent the many members of this DESTINGUISHED forum!!

How on earth can you make music in such neatness? I mean you can not only see all your equipment, you can reach it as well. What a disgusting example of tidy.

Its not that neat...  look at the cable mess below the desk... that helps me be creative 🙂
 

I have been a member of this Cakewalk for decades and have always found the forums to be a very friendly place.
Once in this time I have had a problem with someone and tried to take it up on PM for quite a while.. and in the end it got completely out of hand as being abusive etc.
It turned out the said person saw he was a problem and resigned.  Good for him and have great appreciation of his stance.

I have built and run internet forums... some with over 25000 members...  you are always going to get some misunderstandings.
Thats just how it is,  along with communication problems in written word, beliefs, politics etc. etc.

We are guests in somebodies home (this case Bandlab) and we should show respect and abide by the rules that are given.
I personally dont buy the "free speech" thing when its a private forum. We signed up and we agreed to THEIR Terms and Conditions.

SO..  in plain English...  suck it up or leave!

Thanks mate.
I have owned a lot of things in my 57 years on this planet...  but nothing has brought so much joy and excitement as this!!

Very nice, but you need more cowbell guitars.

The guitars are in the other room.  🙂

I have now installed my new desk and chair...
Just cable management to go and waiting on the speaker decouplers.

I did wonder if someone would incorrectly make this assumption, absolutely nothing to do with any mystical beings associated with planet earth.

Thank you for popping by and having a look

Is there an issue here Gary or is your mind working in way my furry one does not follow?

The wave file is literally like a wave...  no problem at all.

Yup... I am hard to follow sometimes 🙂

Old Chinese proverb!
Man with hole in pocket can count to eleven!

Very nice Mark.
You musicianship is great mate..

We all paint different pictures...   to me I would like to hear a warmer sound!!
Cant explain what I mean though.

We all paint different pictures..
But to me there seems to be a lot of compression on the percussion and keys...  or comes across that way anyway.  (levels don't change) and pull up the volume on the lead guitar!
Give it a bass part and it will kick *****!!

such an impressive chord progression

HI Jerry... well done.
To me...  little medieval with a touch of Disney!!
Female vocal was really good...
I think   (just my opinion) with a male vocal added also would really make the song hit the top shelf.

Seriously well done mate... a composition to be proud off.
