The vocals are great on this - and the production is amazing. Listened to this on headphones on my lunchtime walk with headphones, and loved all the intricate details in this. Super. B

WOW Steffen! This is one of the best songs I've heard for a while! The recording and mix is very professional. There are so many things happening for my ear to single out that I had to to listen three times just to catch it all. Good music, good vocals/lyric, good recording and production....you have it all in this song...well done, take a bow!

So I'm looking at this and I'm wondering what it is your playing on? I can see you wrote the music,but what is the set up? Do you write the music then get other musicians to play your productions? You are a very talented writer for sure and the people on this are all top notch. I exspecially like the vocals on this. Can you tell me what the set up was,I.e what it was recorded on. Excellent track

I almost missed this!
Farrell summed my thoughts up above! Enjoyable listening!
Well done by all of you. Top class arranging and producing! Sweet!

Sounds great, congrats! Loved esp. the bass, guitar and drms.
In my opinion, the whistle thing is too evident in the mix and too linear.

Everything you post is excellent & this is no exception. A superb song, with a strong melody, superb chord changes & well crafted lyrics. The production is absolutely spot-on too. Radio ready & totally pro sounding. Bravo, mate!

Hey, guys!
Thanks for all the nice and positive comments! :)
Kenny, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are asking. I don't know which instruments the other band members use (guitar/bass/...), but the information I can give you is:
- I used Cubase for production and for mixing. - I mastered the song inside REAPER. - No external hardware was used for mixing and mastering, but I'm pretty well equipped in terms of 3rd-party plugins for mixing and production. - My master keyboard is my Yamaha Motif XS7, but all the synth sounds where done with soft synths. I think I used TheGrand 3 and some sounds from the Arturia V-Collection for this song. - Everybody played their parts at their homes and sent me the unprocessed WAV files. - The drums were played on an electronic drum kit using Slate Drums (SSD4). Robert sent me the MIDI file, and I handpicked the indiviual kit piece samples, but I can't remember which ones I chose. - I always start with a basic starter track including a demo bass and demo drums, sometimes also including some MIDI guitar parts for reference. Most of the times the bassists and drummers play something very close to my original MIDI drafts, whereas the guitarists more frequently add their own ideas.
