Scott,
this is a brilliant arrangement with a lot of energy and polish. It really brightens up my morning and is giving me a positive look at this new day.
I have not ever heard you doing this style of music before. I really like what you have done with this music.
Keep on Keeping on
Bill

Scotty:

Really enjoyed your performance of this tune, I especially like your doing it live, and hearing how "live" can be true to how your mood is at this recorded moment. You are very very good at getting things right on. Your playing was supurb and as usual your attention to playing took priority over the vocals, however the vocals/harmony was great, but a bit stiffer than It would have been if you were just singing with somone else taking the stress of the music part.

Not intending criticism here just saying its one hell of a job to get a finished recording in one shot, with you being the band, the vocolist. the sound studio, etc etc and only having a very minor glitch or two, that most would never notice, I think they are normal and don't even hear them.........

You may not realise that you have just done a feat that most could never do. If some are in doubt try what he just did (one shot only !!!) cheers.....lets hear more...

One of my favorite voices on the t2 is the Pedal Steel guitar. Between that and the violin, .

Great Job, Scotty it sounded great.

I think this is your best so far, Scott. Clean, clear vocal and great selection of keyboard voicing. Well done!

Bebop, you saying this, has certainly made, my day today, brighter as well. Thanks.


Pose, good point, for it's exactly what you said that I feel is the essense of music making, and what I want to capture in my arranger keyboard/vocal recordings. Though I wish everything could be perfect, I'm learning to accept the fact that minor glitches cannot realistically be fully eliminated in live performance recording. Specifically with "Come Running", I acknowledge the registration change glitch heard which clipped my vocals at one point, as well as an auto accomp chord change delay in the instrumental solo, but decided to tolerate these, in exchange for the other parts of the song performance that I was very satisfied with.



I Concur. Btw: Here's how I assigned the RT Voices (layered) for playing Pedal Steel.

Rt1: SA Pedal Steel, panned far left (efx setting 1)
Rt2: SA Pedal Steel, panned far right (efx efx setting 2)
Rt3: Aloha Guitar, panned 3/4

Pitchbend (lowest note in a chord only) for SA Pedal triggered via footpedal, and pitchbend (any notes played) for Aloha Gtr triggered via key touch. I find the combination of these triggering techniques and the hard panning left/right of Super Articulation voices helps to add even more sound realism.


Hi Bob, Hearing you say this is especially appreciated, because I hope to grow and continue to improve musicially, and be able to say (a year from now) that the music I'm producing in the future, is better than what I'm producing now as well.

Many thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts.

Ok folks, I'm now considering using 'Sound Forge' to enhance (sweeten) the mix of my song (wav file), much as a professional sound studio engineer might, to give it a more polished sound, & perhaps suitable for CD release.

What specific 'Sound Forge' audio editing/enhancement processes might you guys recommend be performed?:

volume normalization
EQ
effects
compression
other audio processing

Thanks. - Scott

Scott, I agree with most of the comments here. This is a great vocal and performance, and of couse as always the keyboard work is fantastic!!
