This is a collaboration between myself and Kelly Chadbourne. Kelly had the basic idea and sent me a vocal of her simply singing to a melody in her head. I think she used Audacity and a usb mic.
I had to do some extensive editing to make her voice fit the grid and bring her vocals out.
 I added the rest.
Mixed in Sonar, mastered in SO.

Fantastic Tim. I love her voice and you have absolutely done it justice with a beautifully understated production.

Lovely Tim, certainly a nice Celtic ballad you both have there.

Beautiful song.  Her voice fits the genre great.

Tim,
 
Very nice production.  That must have been quite an undertaking to match up a vocal only track to a yet to be constructed backing track.  Great work.
 
Regards

Very haunting!  Great job, Tim, you're productions just keep getting better.  I love her voice and the way you have showcased it.  All the best!

Very nice! Impressed how you created a song around just a vocal track.
 
At 1:43 the vocals come in a bit unatural. Probably easy fixed with a small fade in.
 
Good job!

Nice sympathetic accompaniment Tim, nice job and the mix sounds well here.

Hiya Tim, a great song this. Well done to Kelly for that. A real tallent there.
 
Knowing how you had to bring in a pre-made vocal track, to then mould your "backing track" around that and come up with the end result is a testament to your skills, for sure.
 
Altogether an excellent piece of work
 
cheers

I agree with what Wookie said; very sympathetic accompaniment. In the intro, there is a burst from what sounds like a limiter/compressor pulling up nothing but noise. I'd either gate that or bring it into a wave editor and mute it and do a very short fade in before the first note. After that, the mix is great...
