This is quite beautiful.  You captured the song's sentiment brilliantly.

[Geir]

WOW !!!

This is really beautiful !! Great performance of both of you and the production is just stellar !!!

Details please Alfredo !! Instruments used and what did you use for mastering ?

Drums sounds so natural, and that's a fab sound on the acoustic guitar !

[cuthbert]

Beautifully done, and with a message that is as true as ever. Loved the mix of instruments you used, and orh is in fine vocal form. Excellent collab - you guys are naturals at this.

First of all, thank you all!  

Details:

Drums and acoustic bass: BIAB RealTracks, BUT with plugins, during mixing:

Waves CLA guitars for the acoustic guitar (myself)

Izotope Nectar for James's voice

electric guitars: (myself) Fender Strat Am. Deluxe, with Amplitube as plug-in (clean patches)

Acoustic bass: Izotope Alloy

Drums: EzMix

THEN FOR MASTERING,

I use as usual Adobe Audition, BUT

I've found particularly useful a mastering tutorial video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHx_v_QlyX0

...well, in fact I've slightly modified what's in that video, according to the song, my taste, my ears and my monitors.

I mean, THAT's the starting point, but then, according to the music, there's always some fine tuning.

 

Enjoy!

Alfredo
