freddy j 318 Posted September 1 Ahhh perfection. This is indeed a beautiful song -- vocal performance, lyrics/story, instrument and instrumental performance. Love that bass in the BGV's! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amicus717 265 Posted September 1 Really nice song. Like the pacing and the relaxed vibe to it. I am wondering if I'm hearing a bit of vocal clipping in it? Example, at the 1:31 mark? Overall, I like it a lot, and the backing vocals are a really nice touch. Great stuff. Rob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I had heard it... but too long on the speakers today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark skinner 210 Posted September 2 Very nice Gary , It sounds Much more polished now. The added harmony was a nice boost. I do think a low octave vocal should be used to reinforce and thicken a lead vocal and not stand out so much on its own , unless you're specifically going for an Oak Ridge Boys type of gospel group song. Just my personal preference... I still loved it. mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant really harmonize... but could do the bass... so I thought I would try that to see if it worked. Was thinking of using the bass vocal to echo some phrases in the verses instead of using it in the chorus's. Once again thanks for taking the time to listen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
