garybrun 538 Posted August 13, 2020 Nice tune... I would have liked the vocal to be a little warmer.< beautiful 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark skinner 263 Posted August 13, 2020 Smooth ! You have a Very nice voice . I think some laid back kick and rim shots along with less of the am radio sound on the vocals would really bring this one forward. Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That single note guitar gets to walking on the vocal a bit for my taste; but your song, your production. And in the chorus all I hear is background vocals, for me, one of the voice needs to lead. but again; as above, ys/yp. Fine piece of singer/songwriter work here. So 👍's on that. tom 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Kirby 509 Posted August 14, 2020 This is a cool song and I thought the mix was quite interesting - I really liked the sound of your vocal - the verb you used was just right. The mix is subtle and it works quite well for the relaxed vibe of the song.. Nice job on the lyrics as well. I enjoyed the listen - well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 👍's on that. tom Many thanks for your input, most of all your observation. I went back in the studio and tried a few things that you and Gary commented on. I find on the re listen, the vocal is a bit hot and I tried a remix on the background vocals and I kinda liked it so I think I'll try it another way with the lead vox fronting the chorus. When it's done I'll post ...very helpful so thanks .. Sabby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wookiee 877 Posted August 15, 2020 Nice enough tune sung with some emotion, for me far to much reverb and or slap-back on the vocal, but is your tune and your mix. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bajan Blue 399 Posted August 15, 2020 Good song - I actually like the vocal but agree the lead needs to be up a bit on the Chorus - I think with the backing vocals you already have that could sound really good - i know you have no percussion on this but I do think something, even maybe a shaker / tambourine might be cool Thanks for posting Nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulo 1,732 Posted August 15, 2020 Very nice. Only listening on lappy, but I agree that the chorus needs more of a lead voice. I'm 50:50 re the reverb - on the one hand I like it, on the other I can imagine that dialling it back a smidge wouldn't do any harm. Have you posted before under a different name as your voice seems very familiar to me, but not the name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"posted before under a different name as your voice seems very familiar to me" . . . this is exactly what I was thinking ! He has a very distinctive voice, I won't mention who I think it is . . . kinda' like the TV show Masked Singer. Anyways, all that aside, it's a great tune ! . . . though, the thinly mixed (or recorded) sound of the lead vocal really stands out as something to be fixed in this piece.

Thanks for the comments I will go back and try a few things out, 'cause this song is worth it to me. The answer to me posting under a different name is yes, that's a very astute observation.Not a 'cloak and dagger' thing, I stopped posting early last year as my wife was diagnosed with acute leukemia and I didn't feel much like recording as you can imagine... she is in full remission now but I wanted to start posting under a different name ...a sorta fresh start as it were.
