Was concerned when hearing the first few bars, I should have known the
production was teasing the listener and just waiting to kick in.
Phil replied: that was the idea. I heard the pre chorus in a dream,
complete with the telephonic sound and scratchy vinyl which is kind of
funny
cause I wasn't happy about going straight to the chorus so I thought,
better
run with that.

this yet, it doesn't sound over produced, you walk that fine line very
well.
Phil replied: thanks Steve! That's 10 years of faffing around in Sonar.

Phil replied: Thanks! Think it shows off Superior quite well.
Steve wrote: Lovely vocal work .
Phil replied: thanks!

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.

SonarX64
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!
