I've been sitting on this one for a while. I just decided to finish it today. The Band: BB drums Bass 2915 Finger picked guitar 365 Solaria on vocals I'm playing the following: Lead guitar in the solo, piano, and strings (violins & cello) HOLD YOU NEAR NOTES: I'm using Dim LE for the strings and Sample Tank Brandenburg piano. This also uses Trivox for the harmony vocals. And the lead guitar is using a new Quilter amp which is analog, for the guitar. Comments, observations, and questions ..... Enjoy.

What a great sound. Solaria never sounded better, very natural, alive. Really nice song, modern yet classic. Excellent mix, production, and it all fits like a glove. NICE !!!!

Excellent choice with Solaria. I really like how you developed the melody. Those strings sound perfect, and I really enjoy your guitar adding just the right touch. The piano with the fingerpicking guitar lays down the best backing for the vocal. Good write, Herb.

Sensational. The first thing I looked for was who provided your vocals. I have to say I was very surprised to see Solaria. This is really excellent, and the vocal sits perfectly with your production. An excellent mix. The stops are orchestrally perfect. Lots to like.
A great job. This is a keeper, for sure.

Sad song, but beautiful in every detail, all the elements support the message and made the song touch me. Very pleasant mix.
Excellent work with Solaria, gave me the feeling that I would like to buy a whole album by this great sounding artist. Good idea to start with just Solaria's voice.

Herb, this is an outstanding song. Solaria sounds as real as it gets - great job on that! That guitar and new amp sounds great. Super arrangement - excellent strings. Super mix.

The piano with the fingerpicking guitar lays down the best backing for the vocal. Good write, Herb. Thanks. This one went in several directions before I settled on this version. Those DimLE strings ended up sounding nice (IMHO). The guitar licks were the last thing added. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

A great job. This is a keeper, for sure. AudioTrack... thank you. Solaria is a game changer for the synth voices. The technology simply blows my mind. As I've said before, it's the details that make the difference. I don't often work with orchestral instruments but having a tiny bit of exposure to orchestral music, it's important to "think like the players" when composing those parts. Stops, pauses, the articulations, are all a part of it. I'm glad you enjoyed this song.

Lovely song. Mix wise there're a few spots that stuck out such as when there's a guitar chord emphasis that buries the vocal "near", 0.31 & 0.55 sec" and I found that "be", 0.22sec ,from the synth vocal was quite cutting.
