Need help!

[Patrick Colton]

Hi everybody.   I need some advice for this song. It was supposed to be a simple acoustic tune but it became much bigger that that and I would like some feed back. Does everything fit in well? Vocals?

Thanks!

Really super acoustic sound , love that song , Have you though of de-tuning the guitar a step down , when i play live I always do takes the strain out of it all .still a great song  cheers p

[Patrick Colton]

Thanks for the response Paul. I actually placed a capo on the 2nd fret (G position)so I could sing in the way that I felt comfortable. That being said is that I need to re-record some of the vocals and be more relaxed. Sometimes when the "red light" goes on I tense up a bit. I may try to Melodyne but I'm not sure about that.

Thanks again!

agreed, maybe ease up on the compression a little on the drums as well. Love the song.?

[Patrick Colton]

Yes, I will ease on the compression.

Thanks!

I found the vocal a little forward and seems slightly separated from the backing track. are you using a different reverb on the vocal?

The overall mix of the backing track is not bad. as noted above perhaps over compressed.
