Thanks much for listening and the kind words, my friend. Let us hear a sample of your work when you can.

My wife and I used to live in Katy, BTW. Good area!

Cheers,
Joseph

Joseph,

Yes, I plan on sharing some when I get my little room back in order. I used to work toward the Katy area. Yes, indeed very nice area. I'm out toward the Woodlands.
 
Hi Joseph,

Been away a while, just coming back. I noticed that you are using ChordPulse. Never heard of it before. Is it more versatile than JS?

Cheers and happy new year,
Mike

Hi, Mike! It's been too long, my friend. Belated Happy New Year to you and your family. I've been so busy with work and traveling that I have not had the opportunity to finish this one, but I will.

To answer your question, yes, I think Chordpulse is more versatile, at least in some ways, than Jamstudio. For example, one can change the length of measures with Chordpulse, which is impossible with Jamstudio. You're always stuck with 4 beats per measure in Jamstudio, but you can vary that in Chordpulse.

It will be interesting to see how the program grows. It's only version 2 now, but I like it. I think they have a free trial.

Any new material from you, Mike?

Cheers,
Joseph
 
I finally got around to creating a preliminary mix with vocals to test the overall mix for "Scorched Earth". A portion of the song is included for feedback on the mix. It ends abruptly because the song is still unfinished. If the mix sounds okay, I will wrap this one up, otherwise, I will know to make adjustments to the mix. Thanks kindly! :)


Please note that box.net starts with the player's volume at maximum. Adjust down.

Scorched Earth
Words and music by Joseph Spain
Created with ChordPulse 2.1 and Acoustica Mixcraft 4.5
Produced by Joseph Spain

Verse 1
A day may never know
What you said or how you poured it all on me
When I longed for you
I only breathed for you
I thought I knew you well

Verse 2
A night may never find
What we did or how you poured yourself on me
When I lived for you
For every part of you
Your summer melts the sun, love

Chorus 1
I chased your fire's song
I breathed your love too long
Now I feed the flames of your scorched earth

Verse 3
My heart may never know
Why you bared your soul or pledged yourself to me
When I lived for you
Until I bled for you
I thought I knew you well

Verse 4
Your hands will never dry
The tears you cry when you're alone in the moonlight
While I wait for you
To God I pray for you
Beyond your final storm, love

Chorus 2
I chased your fire's song
(every day I lived for you)
I breathed your love too long
(every second adored you)
Now I feed the flames of your scorched earth

Bridge
Is mine blind faith
Is love a sin by any other name to you
Will your darkness claim me
Please hold me in your heart forever
(repeat chorus 2 through fade)
 
Joseph,
Long time since you rock'n'rolled!
The mix leans to the L in my gear. - there's really on a piano on the R even the vox are top the left.
I like what I hear but would prefer it less Pisa and more Eiffle.
Love the vocals!

Thanks for the constructive feedback and kind words, Ray! I will work on better balance in the next mix. :-)
