O Come Emmanuel

Todd Zielinski · #1 December 21st, 2007

This recording is killing me! I'm getting zips, bops, and whirs (like the marvelous toy!) because of the way Leopard is interfacing with my presonus. As a result, there are a few clicks, but I just couldn't bring myself to redo the whole track for the guitar because of those things.

For fun, I added some flute. Don't know what I think about it - but it's there!

I thought I'd add this before Christmas got here. My son says it's a 5 on the guitar and a 4.5 on the vocals. Not certain if this is on a 10 point scale or a star system. I'm hoping stars! So here it is...

Very nice. I think your son was saying 5 out of 5. That is an old one. Parts go back to the 8th century though the O Emanuel part was more likely added in the 12th century. I love reading the history of some of these tunes.

Todd,
Well I most certainly loved the vocals. Nice job I am proud of you.
The guitar playing was very good. Check out your recording setup. Your getting some unwanted crackles, but you already know that.
As far as the other instruments, I think they fit very well.

Beautiful Todd, man what a voice

Allthumbs - Thank you for the background/history to the song. It's a very haunting melody in some ways.

Dad, thank you for supporting my musical life in so many ways.

X4string, thank you for the vocal compliment. I truly appreciate your time guys.

Very nice!

With my presonus box I had to change a setting in Digital Performer. I had to set a "Work Priority" to Low. It solved my pops and clicks. I don't know if there is a similar setting in your software.

Todd Zielinski · #7 December 22nd, 2007

Thanks Rockerbob. I'll check that out. I only installed the drivers and I'm using garage band right now. But, I'll try and look a little deeper and see if there is something like that in the software.

Fly135 - thank you for the comment (on the singing and the guitar). I hope you have a very Merry Christmas - if I haven't already said that - and a happy New Year as well.

It gets more and more difficult to think of something new to say about your music Todd so excuse me if I used this before, ...beautiful tune, beautifully sung
