Hi Phil,

Was concerned when hearing the first few bars, I should have known the production was teasing the listener and just waiting to kick in. Everything sounds clean, a lot of production work as gone into this yet, it doesn't sound over produced, you walk that fine line very well.
Drums also sound very real on this track,
Lovely vocal work too.

Hi all!

If you go to:

http://www.philmuir.com/

And locate the flash player (you can quickly do that with Jaws by pressing
the letter F twice quickly to locate the play button) then, you can listen
to a track called "Overtaken By Love." It's the first song in the playlist.
The song was written and sung by a friend of mine, Gordon clowrey.  I
played/arranged  all of  the instruments and did all of the drum
programming, mixing mastering etc.  The BV's were sung by myself and my
wife, Sarah. Sarah came up with some of the really cool vocal arrangements
for this particular tune and as usual, gave an honest critic of the mix.
That's the cool thing about Sarah, she has great ears and really does know
what's required and what should be left out. This was all tracked in Sonar. All of the BV's, mixing and mastering was done in Windows 7 Professional in
SonarX64 with Superior Drummer 2.2.1 64bit, on a couple of PC's, both of
which are core 2 duo. The fastest one is only 2.13GHZ and this one which is
my laptop is 1.6GHZ.  Just shows you what can be achieved on two fairly
lolly systems, at least by today's standards. BTW, the snare that I used is
the NirZ custom however, I used the centre hits, rather than the side ones
as the side hits, would have been a bit too ringy for the tune.  Enjoy!
