This voice console is a must."
I press Execute.

I also post the video where I have used it in. Hedgehogs were here last year in our garden, and now they start coming back from hibernation. Uk, the hedgehog…

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........

I love this and I don't know why.
Stuck it in the "Surrogate Band" playlist! http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/surrogate-band-pink-floyd-on-alonetone/edit
This classic has been done to death and most versions (including my own) are parody..but this one has an interesting take.
Not being a Pink Floyd fan this is new to me as well. Such a good song. Nicely done! Thanks for last night! :) Bee
I really like this song. Never heard it before. Lovely stuff Chris! Bee
Echoes of "Let's Get Together" Improv? Sounds great to me. Bee
Excellent!
Sounds great acoustic....
A sort of a sitar/bagpipe duet. I looked it up, what a strange instrument but this composition is perfect for it. You do astound me Chris! Bee
Chris, this piece is astoundingly good, it has been perfectly entitled! Plays havoc with the imagination. Wonderful stuff! Waiting to hear how you end it ... ah, the eerie fade out! Bee

*astonished*
Damn.... Elvis IS in the building~!
Man I just *love* your voice. The music and mood is great - but you have a great voice. Bummer on the injury.
lovely improvisation!
yeah - the vocalists get all of the groupies.
good point - Reg?
you certainly did this one justice - lovely!
exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
