Donny, really impressive instrumental accomp arrangement & beautifully delivered vocals by both you and your daughter. I find your father/daughter duet matches Nat & Natalie, and Frank & Nancy pairings. This is your best song production work I've heard by a long shot. Bravo!

Ok, did the original smf come from Tune1000, Midi-Hits, or another commerically produced SMF manufacterer? Please share what you did to the smf to tweak (enhance) it, and also, what parts/tracks were added (played & recorded live by you)? Also what software programs & hardware were used to record and mix midi tracks & vocals? Thanks in advance, as discovering these things may help the rest of us here to better our recording skills as well.

Ok Donny, now please tell us "When When When" we'll get to hear the completed song.

Donny ... just a tease, but an excellent tease ... there is nothing like the thrill of a parent performing with a child ... when our son was in high school he studied electric bass ... we played a couple of gigs together as a duo and with my band ... it was GREAT ... unfortunately college and dental school swayed him from continuing with the bass ...
Have fun performing with her while you can ...

Scott, Thankyou, without devuldging some of my secrets which I rather not expose on a public forum....I can only tell you as I did in my original post......Equipment used to record: MidJay, Roland A37 controller, Shure SM58 Mic, Acid Pro 3.0, Sound Forge XP studio 5. I wanted to show that you really dont need alot of Fancy Expensive Gear to produce a decent sounding recording......just a little practice,
a bit of talent & the love for music!

Oh Yeah Tony every time I listen to it a warm tingle comes over me when I hear her voice & remember her growing up....I'll make sure you get a CD when Im done Gumba!!

Donny, the fact that you consider them "secrets you'd rather not devulge on a public forum" certainly has raised my interest further now.

As you yourself often state, sharing & learning from each other is what this forum is all about, so I only hope you'll have a change of heart, and share with us your secret arranger keyboard recording/production techniques which I assume contributed to making this newest song the most impressive pro level sounding song heard from you to date. Many of us would love to learn from you here. - Scott

DNJ, quit teasing poor Scott and spill the beans!

Yep, Donny, that sounds very good! Although, too short. I was just getting the hang of the song. Very good singing from both and the accompaniment sounds real.

Now, I gotta find out what "quando" means.

Wonderful!! The addition of your daughter takes your rendition to ever a higher level than it already was.

Quando means when.
