If someone can tell me what the title of the song has to do with this new track...you get a cookie. I hope you guys enjoy it. I may or may not turn this into a song with lyrics and all that...not sure yet.

Hey Mick, you beat me to the punch! That was my guess... Seriously!  Crystal, I like the mix and I definitely think it is cool, especially the vocal effects that you produced to sound like instruments. it is certainly worthy of developing. Cheers, Joseph |

Well here's the definition of virtuosity.
vir·tu·os·i·ty
ˌvərCHo͞oˈäsitē
noun
noun: virtuosity
1.
great skill in music or another artistic pursuit.
"a performance of considerable virtuosity"
synonyms: skill, skillfulness, mastery, expertise, prowess, proficiency, ability, aptitude;
Basically I used everything I've learned so far working with Mixcraft and rolled it into one. The bass line you hear, is me, I brought it down an octave added distortion and a bass compressor as well as tweeked the EQ so that it had a little more 'umph'. The vocal harmony, I just added an EQ that I saved while tinkering with vocals and added reverb and delay to give it that etheral feel. The hi-hats were a provided loop by mixcraft while the drum beat was a loop I found off the internet. The reverse cymbal was all me, I just added a delay effect to that and tweeked the track volume level. Bringing the bridge back into the chorus I used a hi-sweep filter along with some EQ and fade-in. Mixcraft has so much potential and I'm just barely scraping the top of it. If I could figure out a way to plug in live instruments (I have to first buy said instruments) I could probably do much much more with Mixcraft. Even using my midi-piano the abilities are limitless.

Cool beat Crystal ! The bass line really starts rockin' when the hi hats kick in. Love the FX, and the mix is great !.....
