I'm working to finalize the mixes for all the songs Nick, Dave and I have recorded over the past year. It is nine songs so far. I'm hoping to finish the album this summer. We don't yet have a name for our project. Any suggestions?
This was the first song the three of us recorded together. I posted the rough mix to the clinic about a year ago. This is closer to what I'm looking for. My questions have to do with levels. Vocals? Bass? Drums?
Thanks for any and all ears.

Looking Out On Mackinaw
Word and Music: Ray Taylor 2016
Now that we’ve come so far
You are
In my estimation
My superstar
We come a little closer
To our destination
We dig a little in the past
For our foundation
Went a little too far now and then
We ain’t sorry
Went a little too far round that bend
But we ain’t parted
And now that we’ve gone so far
The old ones caught the spirit
In the north woods night
And the blast of the moon on the water
Burned them in the sight
And the spirit took their bones
Scattered them asunder
By the river, by the big moon waters
The iron plows tilled them under
You know if I could be anywhere
I’d be with them for starters
Just two more campfires blinking on the water
Looking out on Mackinaw
Detroit spit us out
It’s a long damn way to Arizona
City just gave out
That lake she rolls on in my soul
Her water’s mine to have and hold
After we wake to the alarm clock bell
Morning stepping bare
Smell of your biscuits and coffee
Woodsmoke in your hair
Would you go back to Chicago
If your Polish daddy called?
Would you stay with me in Charlevoix
Through the darker nights of fall?
Went a little too far now and then
We ain’t sorry
Drove a little too fast round that bend
But we still ain’t parted
And if I could be anywhere
I be with you for starters
Like a dream that catches you
While you standing by the water
Looking out on Mackinaw
Looking out on Mackinaw
Well if I could be here forever
I’d be ever at your shoulder
Standing by you like a lighthouse watching on the water
Looking out on Mackinaw
