  1. Great country feel, with your great country vocal chops. Honestly there isn't much separating your tunes from the Nashville sound. Give this one to Porter Waggoner or such. Toby Keith even.

     

    But your vocal totally works.

     

    Mix-wise, it's pretty loud from the get-go. First thing, I turned the volume down. 

     

    Distorted? Guitars? Violins? I dunno, you could back those out and go for traditional piano or something. Are you in love with that distorted lead? Does it fit the song? Just wondering.

     

    Cool job, bro, I like your stuff.

  2. Nice one here! Guitars are clean and crisp. Well played, too! I like the rhythm/chugged thing panned wide? Great.

     

    Play a verse. Listen at the same time for the snare and your vocal. Which is louder? 
    For me, the snare. So as to experiment, bring the vocal up half a db, the snare down half a db.

    Might be interesting.

     

    Might also control the wacky bright hi hat, left side, 2:21 ish.

     

    That's a catchy number!

     

    cheers,

  3. I agree, fun. The voice you chose works and is interesting. That hi-hat panned right seems to be off the beat, ahead of the beat, occasionally, kind of distracting.

    It's an unusual mix of elements, and for a visual mix I think you did pretty darn well!

     

    cheers,

  4. Very interesting tune! Vocally, you've got a flanger or microtune on it? Maybe? One danger of that kind of processing is that it can leave things thin. Can you EQ some mids back in? Particularly on the chorus?

    Do you have a "tape" simulator? A good one of these can add a nice weight to things.

    Other than that, I like the mix and the instrumental performances. And the vocals are just fine - (were they mic'd with a condenser-type mic?) . . . but it does feel like the vocals are struggling to keep up with the weight of the instruments, which are mixed well. Double-tracking the vocal with a different mic that adds more weight (like a good dynamic mic) might be a help!

    Interested to see where you take it.

     

    cheers,

  5. Duuuude! Full Joe Walsh mode! Waay fun. Sorry to have you gone so long, glad you are back.

    I'm still getting used to the Bandlab ecosystem. First up, your song came right out of the gate LOUD cause the Bandlab player was maxxed from the get go. And I suspect your tune had plenty of volume.

     

    I really like your vocals, and of course, the lyrics. Fly that flag, bro. 

     

    I don't know about you, but did you hear the less-than-seamless edits, for example 2:32 - seems like you cut and pasted in a song section and maybe missed the rhythm a little - or was that courtesy of the Bandlab upload process? Hard to tell. I'm sure you'll get on top of it.

     

    I would also vote for a vocals-up mix, and I think you have room to decrease volume on that piano. Said a piano player :)

     

    More Lynn songs are always a good thing to my ears.

     

    cheers,

    -Tom
