I Could Never Leave You Now (Remixed 1998 Cakewalk Pro Audio 7 Recording)

Recommended Posts

This is an original "power ballad-ish" song I wrote WAY back around 1990! I recorded it at a friend's studio in Las Vegas around 1998. I remember he had just started using Cakewalk Pro Audio 7 in his studio alongside several ADAT machines (Windows 98 baby!), and I remember how much I was blown away and loved working with it! Anyway, I recently pulled the tune out of the archives and into CbB to remix using some modern tools, to give it a more presence, polish, and punch! I'm on keys and lead vocs, other buddies from way back on guitar, bass, and drums. Duet partner was popular local Christian artist Annie Meadows.

Nice duet. Fun to dig out and old song and play with the tools we have now! Sweet song. The mix sounds good to me. The sort of heavenly part is nice. Love the guitar lead part. Good move to put it up towards the end. Well written composition carried out very well.

Hey Treesha, TSYM for the the listen and comments. Yes indeed, it is fun to use new tools on older stuff to update a bit! It's amazing how far things have come, never could have imagined back in the day! 😁

Hi Ross

Good track and sounds excellent now - great mix.

I've just started a project to sort out tracks from our first recordings from about 25 years ago - many were done in Guitar Tracks, if you remember that!

It's incredible what VSTi's I used then and just how many I no longer have on my system!! must have been the same for you!!!

Really enjoyed this

Cool
