Re: Dave and Raags, sitting in a tree...
Beautiful job, both of you. I didn't hear the laziness in it like Steve talked about, I thought it had plenty of energy and too much tweaking could put in risk of being too 'white' for the track. Can't have that, this song is absolutely chockablock full of atmosphere. It's own lil world. Raags, you sound lush and gawjus girlfriend. Dave, masterful job of effecting without losing the organics. Love it!Gotta go, only stopped in to check something. See ya on the flipside, all y'all.

Raags sung it right but when I placed it, Sonar "erased" the visual of the vocal track (I can't see where the audio starts or ends... it's just a straight line ). So let me know if you guys think the vocals sound "out of pocket" anywhere. I've listened too much and now I can't tell about anything. Quote:A wide variety of original and authentic-sounding TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY INDIAN SONGS & INSTRUMENTALS are being sought by an established Music Library/Publisher that has worked with TAXI for years. They exclusively supply songs/tracks to numerous Cable TV shows -- mostly cooking and travel shows -- and need new material to meet their clients' needs. They want all styles related to the COUNTRY of INDIA and that region of Asia -- from Indian Classical to Indian Folk to Indian Pop (they're NOT seeking Native American Indian music). Indian lyrics are highly preferred, but English lyrics are fine. Male or female vocals are ok, and Instrumentals are also accepted. Great performances are essential. This company typically offers exclusive deals. Your songs must be Broadcast Quality (excellent sounding home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics (and lyrical translations). All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than August 12, 2008.TAXI # S080812ISDave, I wanted to finish your poem but can't think of anything that rhymes with "lucrative placement". Raags, you have a beautiful voice!

Beautiful work!! Really enjoyed it. I didn't find the timing distracting at all. It is laid back but in the style, IMO.Good luck, I think you'll get noticed on this one, in a good way!!!Cheers!Mazz

Re: Dave and Raags, sitting in a tree...
Well, I'm late to this thread, but Dave and Raags, this song is great. I can't find one thing wrong with it....like so many others here, I just got carried away with Raags beautiful voice and your stellar production on this one. Now y'all just need to do a country crossover version. India meets Kenny Chesney. Good luck with it....I really think you'll get a foward!
