Hi, friends !

Been awfully long time since
we´ve met on the site !
I am truly sorry for that
but I have been just too
occupied with other commitments
such as selling my property
and moving in with Li - the operation
that triggers a lot of side effects
as the moves are not over yet with that,
I still have to get my daughters
flat sold before I can rest on the
laurels ! In any case, friends,
I just got this little love song for
Li finished !

The Style is: _PLAYFUL.STY
and the instros are: Bass: 3122, Piano: 1262
Drums: RD:S Poppromise, Guitar 1: 522, Guitar 2:
691, Guitar 3: 1681 12 string,
Synth Pad: 1840 and Vocal AAhs: 3063

The links to the song are here:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/when-you-smile

http://app.box.com/s/jwx5ogult1wl4deinpdr45uzzh27bb7t

Recorded with mixcraft 8 on my laptop
Reverb and Compressor used

The lyrics are as follows:

When You Smile (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)

When you smile,
smile t´wards me, Darlin, Li
I feel happy in my heart

When I hear you laugh
When I hear your laughter´Darlin´, Li
it just fills me up with joy

Oh Lord give us many years
of love and laughter still
let us grow together
all to Your will

When I see you cry
When I see you cry , my dearest one
I just wanna kiss away your tears

You´re an angel
You´re my angel Li
my very own angel
here for all to see

When you smile,
smile t´wards me, Darlin, Li
I feel happy in my heart
happy in my heart, my Li

Cheers
Dani

Nice one, Dani...
It has been awhile since your last song...
I hope you get everything squared away so you...
"can rest on the laurels" & get back to writing smile

This song really works and the two voices work really well together.
But, the essing on your voice is very aggressive inside headphones.
You could use volume automation to reduce the level when you hit an S or use a plug in the does that for you.
It's a really good performance and good song though.

You should be able to de-ess using the auto filter effect that comes with Mixcraft. Just figure out how to set it as a "notch filter" and get rid of the frequencies around 10.2 khz. Ask the moderators how to make a notch filter. I'm not familiar with their particular auto filter.

Beautiful love song, just the right length. Loved the subdued harmonies and soft-spoken lead vocal. I hope you can get all your chores done without much trouble and relax.

Nicely done - really sweet, and very pretty! I like how soft and gentle on the ears it is. It has a really sugary feel to it - definitely brought a smirk to my face.

Thanks for sharing smile

Hi, Ember !:))

...and thank you so much
for your most kind words !
I´ve been really busy not
only with selling property
but barbershopping, gigging,
playing lead in a Shadows band,
travelling with a lot
of pensioners as my lady Li
is a travel agent, bookkeeping
etc. etc. .....huh !!!!

This is how it is supposed to
be when you are a pensioner ?

Cheers
Dani

Thanks Ray !

You are probably
right that there
might be too much treble
as I was afraid of murkiness
when I tried to mix !

Many thanks to you for your
supportive and kind words !

Cheers
Dani

It sounds like moving in with Li is making you very happy. Thus I am very happy for you my friend.

I really like this song. Your vocals were spot on and your lyrics were heart driven, and I like those kind of lyrics.

This is an excellent song.
