This was a project we just finished with a northwest country artist that was done completely in Sonar and is getting regional northwest country radio airplay. I wrote the song for her to sing and then got roped into singing on it as a duet...so be kind lol!!!

Very nice sound.

Thanks Bob, appreciate it

Not really a country fan but its a nice, tight, commercial mix for sure.

For a country tune it had some nice chord changes in it, and I like how no dogs were run over, nobody was in prison, and nobody saw Elvis in the 3rd verse.  :)

I REALLY liked the acoustic intro - I wish I could record things that cleanly.  (I am a keyboard player who also plays some guitar, just not very well).

Anyways, yeah - great work.

Not my kind of music but congrats on the radio spins. Enjoy that royalty check 

You should be very proud of that work. The female solo was brilliant. I really like her voice. You sound great and know a thing or two about vocals. The engineering was also outstanding. Not sure why anyone would call that sound commercial. But I don't hear much songs of that type here to compare. But they could mean it sounds good. I did get a Seals & Croft meet Crosby, Stills and Nash out of it. I suppose they are commercial. BTW I like both. There was a nice hint of blue grass in there too.

All I know is the song is a great one and it is done very well.  All you need to do is keep on doing what you are doing. 

Thanks for the kind words John,

Most we do Rock and Metal here at the studio so this was just a nice chance of pace for the holiday season...plus i'm a sucker for anything Christmas lol! 

Very nice indeed Steven.
But do tell us, Sonar X2?
Somehow I think the studio is running X1d...

Tom

Tom,

Sonar X1d it is! Didnt have the X2 upgrade out at the beginning of the project yet and there was no way we would have done a major upgrade in the middle of production.

X1d has really been the most stable of all the builds we have had to date. I hope that X2 yeilds the same productions stability. 

From the variety of posts I've read so far, I am a bit hesitant...keeping fingers crossed
