Well it is Christmas

Good job Col with Always On My Mind, but I would have loved to have heard you sing it without the harmonizer. Same with Mary's Boy Child. The vocalizer sounds fine, but I believe it detracts from your vocals, which I categorize as excellent. You have a clear, soft voice that sounds fantastic without the enhancement of the vocalizer.

Thanks,

Gary

Liked them both a lot! Great sound. As Gary said, a little harmonizer is a lot. I'm learning to use mine even more sparingly these days!
Merry Christmas Col!

I agree with gary.....only use the VH when needed as background they way Bu singers would ........great tune one of my favorites.

Thank you guy's

Regarding the VH I'm afraid I have to obey her indoors she says she prefers the harmony (I have to live with her, 47 years and counting, must be doing something right)she is of the opinion that my voice sounds weak without a tweak LOL

Ah well can't please everyone, I know which side my bread is buttered on.

Here's another old one for you, I should quit while I ahead LOL

Kind regards as ever and thanks' for all the entertainment during the year. Let's hope next year is every bit as good.

Col

Tell her to leave your singin' alone and you will not criticize the way she cooks and does laundry.
On second thought, you'd better just mind her.

Hi Don

I'm not that brave.

Right ! I've just had my Christmas Dinner, assuming that the fruit from Christmas Pud doesn't block my Stoma and we finish up in A & E at the local hospital, all will be well.

I've just re-mixed and uploaded an "almost" harmony free version (Things I do for you lot), enjoy.

I like that so much more Col....

Would love to hear your take on "Mary Did You Know"
using the G70 also...?

Me too. I never say anything unless I can say something positive, and I am. That was great Col.

Bernie

Col ... much better use of the VH the second time around ...



Bernie ... I understand what you are saying, as I often feel the same way ... BUT, look what Uncle Dave's comments to Gary about "Merry Christmas Darling" did - they made him take a listen to his recording and he realized it might not have been his best ... sometimes that constructive criticism is what we need ...

Hear Hear ( If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen )

I only use the VH to wind you guy's up

Once again, thank you all for the positive comments, you made an old man very happy. Maybe, just maybe I'll learn my lesson, Oh and get a new stand Donny.

Just a thought, I was going to try a Everly Bros number MMMM
maybe not!!


Col

Col,

I too agree that your voice is very good already on its own and doesn't need all that vocal processing; and indeed I liked the second version of Always only mind much more.
But I would go one step further and add that your vocals are so good that they deserve a better rhythm section; my feeling is that in both versions the drums were kind of bland and personally I would have preferred a "snappier" snare and -overall- more bite in all the percussions (and I know that the G-70 can deliver in this department).
Just a suggestion...

Hi Andrea

Re-mixed again, tweaked the drum track and applied EQ to the accompaniment just to drop the organ a little (Good old Cubase)

Hope you like it, short of re-recording the drum track this is about as much as I can do (I think)

Col

Col,

much, much better now!

Col,

Yes in deed this is right on the money.
The vocalist should always be out front and the accompanying group in the background and you have that right balance in this one.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Bill G

I agree, much better!

Oh Yeah! Much, much better rendition, Col.

Gary

Col ...

Bravo!

Thanks' a lot Guy's glad you enjoyed it.

All the best

Col
