I NEED YOUR HELP !!!

Yes they do! Great playing as well.

It sounds amazing already, just automate the guitar down for one or two bars at the end, the rest is fine. I was trying to follow the piano, as best I could

Let's see how it goes after the bass if you send me the piano, vocal, bad, drums, I can redo guitars if need be,no problem, but I think with a little tweaking you'll be fine.

Henge...post the bass...I'd like to hear while playing Hammond...I actually threw something down myself just so the low end was held.

Dropbox is a such PIA...won't let me get the bass...but, also OK...organ done:

It's 24/44 stereo--I went ahead and put in the fades where I wasn't playing so you could just drop it into the project without worrying about the rotor noise while I'm not playing--your click copied over to it incase there's some sync question. So, lop that off once you know it's in sync.

...and it's nothing terribly inspired. After my little tech fit...well, it will do. I say that because despite what was said at the beginning...I won't be the slightest bit offended if you cut it in part or all together. I've actually found that the number of times a client mentions "jesus" in their lyrics is inverse to how much they want to here a churchy organ. ...funny I bought it years ago from a "contemporary Christian" producer in town--who said none of his acts/clients wanted it because they were trying to NOT sound like church music! Anyway...I'll leave the mics up tonight if you get it and want something really specific...I'll need to tear down probably in the morning, though--so, take a listen and let me know.

Here's the updated file with Pops organ and Henge's bass. Thanks guys. Both sound great! Need some lead stuff and electric rhythm now. Also, like to have some harmonies in their as well.

This mix should be plenty enough for us to finish strong.

Thanks again.

That file loaded, but wouldn't play.

Here are some BGV...

All the parts sound great. Cowboy, will you do a solo in the two open spaces, maybe a fiddle? if you don't have time, I can do a tasteful electric guitar solo..

Man, I just heard the backing vocals, they're fantastic! I'll do the last guitar solo tomorrow. So many good things here, the drums and bass are so well done they're just there, flowing and leaving you to enjoy the song, keeping your focus where it belongs, while providing the emotional dynamic the song needs to breath. The organ lends the most beautiful vibe and color, the tremolo on guitar sits perfectly in time with the track, and the D-41 holds its place gracefully.

Lets keep it going guys. Love to have some tasteful strings and pads on V2 going into the 2nd chorus. Maybe a slightly driven electric rhythm (doubled for panning) doing power chords on the second and last chorus with sustain on the end. Nothing too over the top but like modern Christian stuff. Can I call on henge again for this.  LOVE your guitar tones.

On a production note Martin John Butler that Tremelo was just an Egnator Rebel 20 dry then using Guitar Rig's Tremelo set to sink to the project (1/8th).  Cheating I know but a very fast way to get a perfect Tremelo

Just never enough time these days.

Sounding great fellas!!!

Here's an update from an E-mail sent to my Pastor friend from Daniels mother. And it includes a little background on this child that were working for. It's a bit long but worth the read.

"I love that someone wants to be a part of Daniel’s Song and his journey. It is such an humbling thing to be his Mom and see how far his life goes in reaching people.

The only reason it isn’t an obvious yes to me is just that it is our sweet little song that we always sing. I just wanted it to be sung in a real voice instead of my horrible, zero musical ability, voice. So I never really thought about it being anything but our tune that calms him down on the worst of days and makes him smile on the best of days. The reason I haven’t wanted to be involved in it… well, I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just a little ditty between D and me? Feels weird to be a part of making it “real”? I imagine that makes no sense.. that and me and my not liking to be in the center of any attention hang-up

So, the answer is It’s really not about me!! YES.. I would love people to “meet” Daniel through his song.
My bff, Laurie, said to me the other day.. “you know, I don’t think D’s planning on being an easy Hospice patient. God has used him to touch so many people’s lives and I just don’t think he is through yet”. Twenty minutes later, while she was still here, I got your email. so as I have worked it through with the Lord.. the answer again is that this journey with Sweet D is not about me.

Thank you for reminding me of that.. there are days I get so focused on wanting him to NOT go home and his song has helped me remember that this is not his home or our home. He’s going to show us around heaven one day. And thank you so very much for all you have done to work on this!! I am very touched.

Here is a bit about D.

After the hottest day on record for Cincinnati since 1936, Daniel Mark Wineinger was born early in the morning on August 23, 2007, as an only child for his 41 and 46 year old parents.

He was healthy and beautiful and completely celebrated and spoiled.

Six weeks later, Daniel required a series of emergency room, doctor, and neurology visits ending with a hospital stay. Based on his symptoms we were told he may not be leaving the neurological floor. We waited in shock for test after test. For EKG, EEG, spinal tap, blood work, and every type of invasive procedure imaginable to be completed. All the while with an incredible staff of people dressed up in Halloween costumes. I’ll never forget begging a zombie to get a set of wires off of Daniel’s irritated scalp so he would quit screaming. We were eventually released having been lovingly told that we shouldn’t expect to share in his earthly life for longer than maybe another six months.

Daniel is now 6.5 years old. He has never been given a defined genetic or neurological diagnosis. At times we’ve been told maybe it was a virus during pregnancy, at other points that it is possibly a genetic disorder. He has never rolled over, spoken a word, seen with clear vision, or cognitively developed beyond about a 3 month old stage. He has pervasive seizure disorder, severe scoliosis and kyphosis, out of socket hips and feet, and deals with spontaneous bone breaks due to non-weight bearing osteoporosis. His lungs require oxygen and breathing support and he endures cough therapy and lung shaking treatments daily. As of last fall he is in transitional care with Hospice and has around the clock care.

Oddly, it took a lot of concentration to write all of that information.

Because who Daniel is as a person is so different than what his list of issues are. He is simply amazing.

He has such an incredible spirit of joy and love. It is almost impossible to describe. He impacts everyone he encounters. In spite of all of his limitations, he just has this THiNG about him.

He remembers people by their voices and will call out with clear sounds to uniquely say hello (and summon them to his little Prince-self’s presence). When he hears his Aunt Laurie he lets loose with an Aaaahaaaayee. His Momma-call is a beckoning aayhhhhhuh?? Dad gets a clear uuuumlaaaaaah. With his cortical vision impairment, Doodle will spend 20 minutes trying to focus on a face to see a person while breaking out in a complete sweat because it requires so much energy. All because it is just his way to try and love on people. His Kindergarten class loves to Skype him and sing class songs to him and he shares his charming little smile and calls back to them ooooaahhuu. Everyone he meets is touched by his loving heart.

Over the years, we have had close friends go through some painful life situations. Every time it is Daniel who has been a part of their healing. He will snuggle in and coo, reach for a face with all of his energy, and love on a person in a way that is almost unreal to describe. When we were still able to take him places, we’d have people stop us because they’d met him at therapy, heard of him from a classmate, friend, medical team, Facebook, etc., or seen him at a ball game with my best friend’s family. It is as close as I can imagine to having a child be a celebrity. It makes us laugh to be “Daniel’s Parents”.

As his body has continued to slow down, there are times that the seizures and pain have been so much for him. There have been so many days of uncontrollable tears. Daniel’s Song is purely a lullaby that started because I was so tired I couldn’t think of another song to sing. It developed over time. Eventually it became a song that he loves and responds to the most. It comforts me as much as it does him.

He will run, he will meet all of our heroes in heaven and he will be with Jesus. I don’t know how any parent lives on after a child goes to heaven. So I have promised him and myself that I will keep breathing. He has changed my life forever and I am so honored to be his Mom.

He is perfect and not a bit limited with a broken body.

Cyndi"
