Compulsion

[Douglas Kirby]

That's a cool song and I really liked your lead vocal - first time I've heard it.  I enjoyed the listen very much - nicely done.

Clever ending as well - good job there.

It looks like you've remixed it - I think the mix sounds fine to me.

This is stellar; it just shimmers. Everything is so clear, it sounds like you're sitting on my shoulder. Love it.

I especially like how it started; it sounds like some recording of a dude in his bedroom, with guitar sounds, raspy voice, rustles, etc. Then, when the full mix kicks in it's a delight.

Only crit I'd have is that the 12-string needs tuning and there are places where I can't tell if it's a subtle ride cymbal or 'tape hiss.' But sometimes that's charming.

This is great stuff.

Thank you, Douglas, I really appreciate your feedback.

lol, your description of the beginning is exactly right. My office/studio is a spare bedroom and I clicked on the mic and noodled about.  Man,  you have good ears, Barry.

It does sound like there is a wandering cymbal in there. I have a very difficult time with high frequencies and I wouldn't have noticed it without you mentioning it. I'm embarrassed that I couldn't tell that the guitar is out of tune, doh! It's not actually a 12 string, it's a Martin D16X that I went back and doubled in places with my trusty Strat into S-Gear with a very clean setting.

Thanks for your feedback!

Kevin, you hit this out of the park!  Your acoustics sound great, like they're right in front of me.  Your voice is as soulful as ever, and your lyrics are terrific, too.  I can hardly wait for your next song.
