Thanks much Mr. Swift! God Bless!
aMaZiN!
Rich was an amazing person and musician.
Thanks for this!!!
Our pleasure! More to come!
@@HalSwiftMusic i feel like the first album gets overlooked. I think it’s a great album from start to finish. I wouldn’t be mad if the next one was from the same album. 😂
Hey@@living_the_mac_and_cheese_life, it's a pretty good bet that we will concentrate on this album but you never know what surprises may turn up.
Wow, I can't imagine the amount of work that had to go into these remixes. I really enjoy listening to them, and I'm amused by the self-effacing title of "slick pop sounds" given the Rich Mullins line it comes from!
Dug the new groove. Brilliantly done. Reckon Rich will be cheering these from where he is.
Thanks Peter! Glad your enjoying it!
Fun stuff. Imagine how Rich would play his own songs in 2024. And what new stuff he would have written. The chords in the verses here are similarly structured stylistically to Rich's "Love of Another Kind."
Thanks David! Rich’s music greatly influenced my life and I am humbled to have the time, partnership and ability to reimagine these songs in honor of him! It’s so much fun.
Kudos to Hal Swift - this is so much fun and a great concept; and I gotta say, Hal’s covers of Rich’s songs over on his channel are sweet dope, too 🔥🎤🔊🎯🫶🏼🙌🏽🥳
Thanks so much @edifactory ! Means the world!
One of my favorites off the yellow album! Thank you! This is great.
You're welcome! Glad you like it!
🎉 Thanks you! I hope you’ll enjoy the neon pink version of the album now too!
I almost forgot this one, but that snare choice brings it all back 😅
Good job! Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much! 😁
Been looking for a soundtrack for this day...thank-you! 🎉
Our pleasure!
Enjoy!! 🎉
Hal, these new versions of Rich's songs are wonderful!! Are you planning to put out a CD of the new versions that we can purchase!
We would love to be able to release this project on physical formats, however, for the time being there are no plans to do so, as there would likely be a considerable amount of red tape- and money- involved in order to make that happen.
I love this song, and I love what you've done with it. This will be available for purchase eventually, right?
Thanks so much Alicia! I wish we could make it available but for now it is an exclusive release for the @ragamuffinarchive RUclips channel!
@@HalSwiftMusic I bookmarked it at least! You do good work.
@@HalSwiftMusic Also it's even more true now than it was in 1986.
@@aliciashank7940 Thanks so much!
Love the arrangement! Is there a way the vocals could sound clearer, idk much about remixing old music like this but thats just my two cents. But anyways, this is great and I hope it'll make its way to Spotify in the near future!
Eventually over time that might be possible. Currently, however, we can only work with the technology available to us. Hal uses modern AI tech to isolate Rich’s vocals. Sometimes the results are clearer than others… and advances in this software are being made daily. Hal can elaborate, but with this particular track, isolating Rich’s vocals was quite complicated and Hal had to perform magic to make it sound this good. I can testify, as I heard many versions of this track throughout the production process and he had numerous hurdles to overcome. - Joe
Hey @michaeltill8928 ! I’m glad you like the update! Yeah, what @RagamuffinArchive is saying is right on. The service I used to separate Rich’s lead vocal from background vocals really struggled to separate them well. As a result, it left audible artifacts and even garbled plus dropped the ending of a couple words that had to be fixed as well. Ultimately, I’m just a guy doing this from my basement studio with the tools I have on my own dollar and time. And I’m sure in the future it will be possible to do this better! Thanks again!
Hey it's awesome for what y'all have to work with keep it up!
Thanks! @@michaeltill8928
Mr. Swift- Please do a new arrangement like the above- of the song "Live Right" by Rich Mullins. Thank you!
Hi @vpwb ! We are focusing on Rich’s first album so this one could be coming sooner….or later. We’re taking it one day at a time. Thanks for the comment!
Here's a somewhat strange question: Does anybody know where the saying "a few good men" originates from? It's such a well-known phrase that sounds like it comes from a Western or a war movie, but when I try to search for information about the phrase on the Internet, all I can find are references to the 1992 movie with that title. But even the play that the movie was based on (1989) didn't exist when Rich Mullins wrote this song, so it's clearly a reference to something older.
Great question! I did a little digging online and here’s what I found: The first known use of “A Few Good Men” was in 1779. On 20 March 1779 in Boston, Capt. William Jones, USMC, advertised for "a few good men" to enlist in the Corps for naval duty. The term seemed ideally suited for Marines, mainly because of the implication that "a few" good men would be enough.
This is great. Thanks. You using some AI ?
Glad you enjoyed it! So, technically, yes… Though the AI software that was used was simply to isolate elements, such as Rich’s vocals, from the original recording.
Almost all of the instruments and background and extra vocals I recorded myself. I also purchased and arranged the drum loops from recordings of professional drummer’s libraries to match the style I was going for.
