good job. I really like the choice of RT's.
I appreciate that -thanks for the listen and comments. Hello, Robert
Your originality was demonstrated very well in this song.
Unexpected chords that sometimes come out and change of rhythm.
Calm and beautiful melody.
All of them are the characteristics of your songs.
Your vocals fit very well with them and they are very comfortable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, Thank you, I`m especially glad you liked the melody... as usual it started with something borrowed I let percolate `til it sounds original! Robert

Robert,
I also really enjoyed the dream-like, ethereal quality that this creation had. It was like you transported me to another time and place for three and a half minutes.
It sounds like you're getting the hang of Reaper. I've been using it for a number of years and I really like it.
All the best,
Noel

Floyd said, “A nice dream-like lyric (and melody). The guitar/cello/vocal treatment is perfect for it.”
We couldn’t agree more. The cello and that perfect acoustic are ideal for the melody and the timbre of your vocal.
Tom mentioned the interesting chords and the cinematic feel. It is very visual.
Looks and sounds like your new DAW is going to work out well.
Well done!

Robert, I like the way the abstract poetic lyrics fit the music. It is a dreamlike feel and cinematic. Interesting chord choices help make this a great listen, Tom Tom has a great ear for the mix and "character" of songs, as do a few other talented folks on this forum. I rarely find reason to disagree with them and I fully agree with Tom's assessment of this song. I've always enjoy the pop-folk sound - tends to mix great verse writing with subdued yet emphatic music backing. you excelled at both on this one. It's always a pleasure to listen to you music - this is a great example why. Best to you. Alan

Hi Robert,
Great work once again and that signature vocal is beautiful as always, but really shines here.
We also love the cello.
Rob and Anne-Marie Rob & Anne-Marie, Thank you for that. I`m trying to reduce the amount of processing on my vocals so I`m glad you liked them here. Robert Very nice to hear your use of the _LONEBOY style now that I'm putting out my song based on it  I really like the wholeness here, the vocals, poetic lyrics and sparse arrangement all blending together to form a nice folk song, a man and his guitar in a romantic landscape. Janne Thanks Janne. Its a very good style (Lawrence also used it to fine effect on a ballad recently)- I`m happy you enjoyed the romantic feel of the song. Robert

J&B, That`s very kind, thank you! I doubt I`ll have the patience to get much beyond the duffer level with any DAW and am in awe of those on this forum (like you!) who turn out professional level mixes. Still its nice to be able to go back to some of my earlier songs and leave them better than I found them. Robert

Robert,
Gorgeous lyrics and great vocals.
I love the mix but the final sound seems a bit hot and is not like what I have heard in your previous mixes.
There is an effect on the vocals and guitar that is making them sound a little bit metallic and the final seems over compressed. I have never heard this in your productions before.
Maybe you are getting used to a new DAW and working out the kinks?
Also, the cello panned all the way to the left side, it could maybe come a little more center. Those are just a few nits but I really, really, love the song. Again, great lyrics.

David, Your comments are very welcome- they gave me the chance to go back and have another listen. With the space of a week or so to clear my mixing head, I think I can hear what you`re talking about in the vocals & overall level of compression... so with the beauty of using a DAW that doesn`t crash and is quick to work with, I`ve now changed the order of the vocal effects ( Nectar2,Breath Control,Vocal Rider) and it seems to me a bit better. I also removed an Alloy guitar effect ( very little change there to my ears - it is an RT recorded with very crisp picking & lots of string squeaks) & reduced the cello pan from 60% to 40%. The mastering originally was done with the higher compression of the Greg Calbi presets - now there`s a much lighter setting. Have another listen if you get time, and thanks again for sharing your impressions. Robert

Robert, The difference between night and day. You must have sound cloud pro if you can swap out tracks like that. Do you find pro worth the money? Whatever you did this time I would use as a baseline. The moment you said Greg Calibri preset I knew what it was. I don't go anywhere NEAR those Calibri presets unless I want a blue brick. I HATE them. But this sounds great. Use the Robert K-Genie presets from here on out.

David,
Yes, I`ve been paying ( $50 a year- seems like a good deal to me )for SoundCloud Pro from about 3 months after I began posting songs and realised I`d be remixing every song again and again as I learnt the ropes.So far SoundCloud is the only platform I use so like to keep it uncluttered.
Your comment about the Greg Calibri presets made me smile-I thought they were way too compressed as well on first listen... then I started to second guess why my mixes were about 10dbs quieter than many of the songs from the forum and threw this one in there.
Its good to know the revision goes in the right direction - many thanks for letting me know!
Robert

There's just so much to like about this composition.
Lyrically, it is sensational; but the quality extends to the musical excellence that becomes the subject of the entire song.
Very enjoyable.
