Wow, you have a fantastic voice. It's really unique, and works as an instrument of it own. More singing please! Great song as it stands. This would be amazing with some nice crisp drums, and some lush instrumentation. Very epic!

Yah, when I finish this one off (I think I'm satisfied with the Reason implementation), I'll record it elsewhere so that I don't have to worry about holding back for the sake of those who live around me. :)

Here's some of my thoughts. if I may ; Man, you can sing ! You keep wonderfully on tone, and you have great sound. My only concern ( in this tune ) ,that how you keep your voice "tight", and by that I mean, that you should sing more relaxed. ( like I know about singing, just my opinion ) Otherwise, this is great track, with great singer ! I actually almost dropped off my chair, when you put some strength behind your singing ! Keep it up !

Neither did I.

I'm lazy enough that I'd just import the exported wave from MPT and tack on more drums on top of that! I really like your vocals - I didn't notice the very faint echo to the far left before.

Great singing!

roncli, this is excellent. The lyrics remind me of Save Me.

Good stuff, Ron. Glad to hear you flexing the vocals too, they're very nice. This is going to sound great with percussion.

Nice song, but perhaps the nicest thing to hear is that you are completely one with the song in emotion. You are keeping it real. :)

About the vocals and the mic, that is very possible. I one-shot the vocals once I got recording on my new sound card working, and I wouldn't be surprised if I was bouncing around in front of the mic. I stand anywhere from a half foot to a foot back from it regularly. Also, in the upper ends of the singing, I do hold back a bit, because it was 3 in the morning, and my neighbors may not have appreciated me screaming. :)

Reason is not a tracker, so I couldn't just copy & paste. I read what he did in MPT and basically recreated it in Reason. In retrospec, I probably could've MIDI'd the drum part and moved things accordingly, but there were a bunch of things I wanted to change to match the mood of the song and the new instruments, and I also wanted to hear my progress as it went along. :)

Very catchy, no complaints about the overall mood or guitar performance. It sounds more like a 4 minute song (unless you plan to add another outro mood in there somewhere) and the one two chord intro-ish part could use some more chords and a mood to keep it from sounding like a jam session with a bunch of retakes. I agree the bass level is too high...your voice sounds perfectly in tune but scatters in tone a bit when you do the near shouting parts and gets muffled in the soft parts (but I sense this is muffling of the recording is due to things like holding the mic to far away, not your voice)... In certain parts it sounds like the mic is getting taken across a room and back, a bit soft then suddenly very loud. But, as a whole, even as of now, it still works...and well. And most rock, except for groups like The Fray, bores me to tears...so that's definitely saying a lot.

I'm interested in what Kim came up with for the drums - but why did you transcribe? I'm not familar wih Reason.

Nicely done :) You've got a good singing voice. Now I'm itching to hear the final version.

V. NICE!

The drums for the main version that I'm working on are pretty sweet, they were arranged by MisterX (StudioKraft on this site) in MPT, and I transcribed them about 98 percent to Reason. I'm debating putting some kind of crunchy guitar in it as well, so I'm probably going to play around with it some. :)

Yup... no compressor = lopsided dynamics, for my singing anyway. That's some nice company to be in, thanks for the comment. :)

I'd - I've - I Had? Lyrics are for women and cattle - takes me 20 listens to any song to even care what the words are saying. We trackers are hearing the music including your voice as an instrument not as a message. Whatever sounds good - say that.

Not bad roncli, mix is a bit rough of course. Your vocals are buried until you start pushing some air through those lungs and the bass is too in your face especially when you go to double time with it. However this is a good arrangement and excellent vocal performance. You remind me of Live (I Alone) vocally and Stabbing Westward (What Do I Have To Do) musically.

this is very nice! I do wish there were drums and some distorted guitar for accent - this is a really good song - it sticks in my head!

Totally awesome. Catchy melody, driving bass, moody guitars that give the theme it's depth and last but not least you warm, gorgeous, and absolutely heartfelt voice.

Ahm naht changin' it. B) Besides, it gives you something to talk about!

Try and squeeze in 'I had' :p

Thanks. :) I may do another one as well if time permits.

I actually tried "I'd", and although it's grammatically correct, it doesn't seem to work out at all, because the "d" ends up being silent, making it sound like "I just about given up on hope..."

I look forward to the full release of this, as it lacks polish, understandably, right now. One thing I would change, in the lyrics, is 'I've just about.....' I would change to 'I'd just about.....' as it seems to be past tense 'I've just about given up hope, until I found you' just doesn't work ;)

Superb!
