    Awesome stuff! Very nice use of the duet in the vocal melodies/harmonies. Very professional sounding track and mix.

    As noted very professional sounding mix, perhaps a little long for radio air time, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much. :)
    I agree. It's atleast 2 minutes too long. But i highly doubt my music will ever be played on the radio.
    So i choose to go my own way, and keep the track as long as intended.

    Killer voice and very well mixed/mastered. Very tastefully picked sounds. Why pick on Cecilia when you can pick on the bassplayer?

    Not necessarily my genre but yeah, that sounds really good - very clean, good separation left to right and front to back, and the vocals are consistent and strong.

    Regarding genre, yeah im hopelessly stuck in in 80s synthpop. I've tried to make it sound modern but find it impossible. It is what it is. :)

    Thanks! Your kind words really warms my heart!
    Sounds very 80s in my ears, the fact that you feel it has a modern touch to it makes me very happy. :)

    I hear the eighties in much of the music that's being played right. Especially the plucked synth intro is everywhere at the moment.

    John, this is brilliant.  This is timeless music that sounds fresh.  I hoped you produced this on Sonar because there are some around here who say that we are doomed to making demos rather than finished productions.  This would belie that opinion.  Would you let us  know who mixed and mastered this?  I believe you raised the bar around here a little bit.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thank you very much for all the kind words Lynn. :)
    Firstly, im sorry to dissapoint you regarding the daw.
    Even if i own almost all products cakewalk has put out, the daw of my choice nowadays is Reaper.
    But i wouldnt say Reaper is better than Sonar, it just fits my simple "pianoroll" workflow better.
     
    I have done everything on this music from start to finnish except the actual singing.
    All mixing, writing, arranging etc.
