Abide In Me 2 Remix

Hey thanks all for your sugestions!! I do truly value all of your feedback!! This is the exact same mix as before with vocals doubled. That is the only change. I'm much happier with the song now!! As I have always intended for the Words to be heard and understood!! I was just having difficulty getting that done. Again thanks everyone & please one more listen for partch.

God Bless you all!!!

  • you know I'm startin to think we should post the lyrics to our songs.

    yes I can hear and understand much but not all but ...many songs are like that.
    that said --it is much better---still room for separation and volume in the vocal....my two cents

  • ABIDE IN ME

    Words Music Eric Partchey

    VRS1 Have you ever seen a dead branch on the ground
    Have you ever seen how withered and brown
    Don’t be like a dead branch lying on the ground


    CHORUS 2x Abide in me
    For my names sake
    Abide in me
    There is no other way

    VRS2 Jesus paints a picture of a vine and a branch
    The branch could do nothing on it’s own
    Like the branch removed from the vine
    We can do nothing on our own

    Chorus 1x

    Bridge If you remain in me
    My words remain in you 2x
    Ask whatever you will
    It will be given to you

    Chorus 2x

    Outro Abide in me 3x


    Wogs I appreciate that!! Hear are the words. I'm still going to try a few more things with this song. I'll probably post one more version most likely I'll sing it again dry and add some reverb afterwords & see how that sounds?? Anyhow I'm pretty happy with this song at this point!! A week ago I bairly new what key & somewhat of a melody & rythem. Now I have a decent song for first ever all Original. Praise The Lord!!

    God Bless All!!

  • Hey there Partch. Grats on your first original 8) 8) 8) . I think this mix definitely sounds better. I agree that the vocals get a little low in a few places, but really few and far between. Also, the bass could come up some. Overall, excellent work my friend 8) :D Keep it up!

  • Hey Partch - Some tips from an old rocker. (I can't believe it, but I've had the good grace to live 50 years!) This mix is much better. The vocals definitely have a presence now. Still, the words don't always cut through. Sometimes, especially when recording, you have to overenunciate the word to make them audible. We Americans tends to drop our ending consonants. It muddies the words when we sing. Try listening to just your vocal track. On PTP, press the S (Solo) button for the track. Can you understand every word? More importantly, can someone who doesn't know the song understand every word? Have someone else listen to the vocal track line by line. Have them repeat the words to you. If they didn't get it, loop record that line several times, and keep your best take.

    Partch, songwriting is a very spiritual thing for me. I believe it is a gift God has given me that I am trusted to share with others. I wrote my first song with lyrics at age 20, and did not write another one until I was almost 40. Then something inspired me, and now I've written somewhere close to 70 songs. Stick with it. Use the talent while you have it.

    God Bless You and Good Luck!

  • This is a beautiful song Partch! 8) The vocals could use some treble boost for clarity. Also, the vocals sound like they could use a little compression for volume leveling.
    Very enjoyable tune. :D Great job! This is an original? Very catchy.
  • AC Thanks Man!! Hey make sure you check out Abide In Me Final. This is the best job on the song!! Most Inteligable Lyrics. & Best Overal mix in my opinion. Anyhow it would be interesting to to see if you think that one is better than remixed version you just listened to?? Thanks again AC for listening & all your comments!! Much appreciated!!

    God Bless!!

    I'll go look for that version. If you notice, I dragged Mark007 here. He can give you much better feedback. 8)
  • partch,
    The vocals need some EQ around the 3.5 KHZ area. Try to give them a little compression but not too much. If you play with the EQ you should be able to clean them up and then work on the level, panning and some reverb.
    I would like to hear this again when you tweak it.
    Very nice work!
