You have a timeless voice. The kind the indie female powerhouses of the 90’s had, like Sarah McLaughlin. Absolutely amazing. Few people have this quality anymore.

[@RegenalSommers]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!As Close to Heaven as one can get here on Earth, to Heaven!!!

[@jimbell3900]

Carol, your cover of this song, which is my all time favorite, is perhaps the best I have ever heard. Your voice is so pure, honest and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talents! God Bless!

I love your styles, as a pianist and singer myself from Buenos Aires, lived in California years and tears . Your rendition really touched my musical heart. Thank you!

This is my favorite because it is James Taylor. I saw him in July in Dallas and I you said you got to see him in San Francisco. Love JT and your cover of one of his best known songs. 💙🌹

[@Lance514]

All the piano covers I’ve heard of this have never sounded right to me. Always felt it was a guitar tune only but you’ve made it work someone. Bravo, and lovely voice

Found your channel while researching Distrokid. Really enjoying your take on so many beautiful songs. Nice job covering Fire and Rain on piano. 👍

Thank you for your advice. I'll keep likes and shares up in support of you.:)

[@CarolKay]

+Diana DiDiego Thank you!

[@chowjerfeng2006]

so clean vocal, could you tell us how to use your condenser mic recording without finger's noise, how to avoid? any plugin to cut it out while live recording? Thankyou

[@CarolKay]

+邱哲豐 i wrote a blog about how I recorded this cover, the link is in the description :)

[@CarolKay]

+邱哲豐 also, just to answer your question, I mix everything once I'm done recording

[@chowjerfeng2006]

Carol Kay ,thank you for your kindness, haha I will keep following.

[@reymondbuama3321]

❤😊👍

[@dianadidiego2150]

Well I absolutely loved your James Taylor rendition. I'm a new fan since looking up info on Apollo Twin audio interfaces and you were somewhere in there. What reverb are you using and do you set it on a send channel in Logic? Also do you feel the Rhode tube mic is adding the warmth or is that you and the room you are tracking in? Sorry for all the questions but my Rhode NT 1 REISSUE seems brittle sometimes and my levels are -18db in the audio interface as well as in Logic Pro. It is so nice to see a real home studio artist that is not being wannabe engineer acting the part showing all their gear and expense of the gear but never having any real music/ production in the uploads of other channels. I laugh and than feel sad that they are not pushing the learning curve of the gear to really try to produce,engineer, make music. Usually it's a beat on their midi controller samples no less and they fumble around the DAW volume fader. Hehe! Than you again.

[@CarolKay]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this! I'm using PT verb in Logic Pro and it's going through a bus. It's very possible the warmth in the signal is being caused by a number of things. When it comes to recording, the way your surroundings and equipment interact with each other seem to be, in my experience, the cause for how things end up sounding. Depending on what you're going for you can take certain measures to design an ideal environment. For low levels, try boosting your input signal on your preamp. If you are going through your computer with a usb, try adding a gain plugin to just increase in volume. Good luck!
