lift me up

This one came down to the wire.
The vocal in the chorus is a sample (and complimented with some adlibs by the same artist as well).
I was working on trying to get home brewed vocals in for the verses but it became way too much for this week - I had even outsourced verse lyrics to my wife which she delivered but I ran out of time anyway =/
Stubbed in some synths for verse melody placeholder.
But to be glass half full: I learned a ton about Cubase/Nuendo. I learned about vocal production and recording (even though it's not evident since the verses didn't make it).
One last surprise lesson with Cubase for me as I was exporting so I had to panic re-mix everything but certain parts are still louder than they were (like reverb send is crazy). Good learning for next time.
I'm proud of the effort anyway and looking forward to more weeks of beats.
Updated Soundcloud mix with some fast fixes for things that annoyed me: link
