I Love You (R&B Ballad)

So after talking about DAWs and how to make a recording, I figured I'd talk about how I came up with this tune. I wrote on an old workstation keyboard.  I recorded it into the computer to make a CD.

Then, I wrote the chart out in Finale.  Went to the studio and recorded the drums.  Took a mic and an MBOX around to different houses/schools and recorded the bass, guitars, horns, strings, and vocals on ProTools.  Borrowing from Earth, Wind, and Fire and Toto style and concepts, I have two different guitars.  On this track, I have an acoustic on the left and wah on the right.

Yo...that's what I'm talking about right there. I couldn't help but to rap a short hook along with the vocals. You have a nice voice and the amount of work you took to reach the overall sound is amazing. Really outstanding work man. 

When I heard the saxophone come in I melted.

I would definitely love to collaborate with you someday on a song.

Some day I need to figure out a good set up, tech-wise, for recording.  I'm jealous that you know how to do all this.  It's a great skill set and this sounds amazing!  (wahk-uh-chick-uh-wahk-uh-chick-uh...)  (:

Hm...
It functions really well, definitely. I'll make no claim I'm an expert with this kind of stuff, but a song titled "I Love You" is a little bit on the nose, no? 
Obviously this would get a little boring for strings to play, but that wasn't your intention. I think your bass part in its leaping passing tones get to me sometimes, but it's generally really nice!

Thanks @LostSamurai , Monarcheon and @pateceramics

@Monarcheon I'll post the trial version of the video soon.  It coincides with the book/novical I wrote, hence why it's called "I Love You"

It's a very nice track, M. I hear the EW&F and some Stevie Wonder too. Nice production and mix, well done. Now to rain on your parade. Actually, just two points. "I Love You" isn't really a lyric if you don't tell us why you love her. Take us on a journey of love so that when you get back to the hook it becomes a catharsis. The other point is you brought in the strings right away. Never do that! It's like bringing out your queen right away in chess. My 2c. I have always loved this kind of music, so thanks for sharing it.

Absolutely.....no rain here it makes sense.   The previous songs and the book that comes with it tells us why.   Guess I should have explained that, Great suggestion
