Thanks for the listen.
Yeah, it could still use a bit of work.
Thanks Man.
Its was a fun song to do. Glad you like the band, considering I'm half of the band, and all of the engineering crew
On the vocals: Damn! I WISH I would have done them with a dynamic mic! Would have made life easier. Instead I used an AKG C414. It gave a very clean, airy, vocal tone but without any grit. Too smooth
To me, the song being about an older man telling the young buck about the pitfalls of women, it needed some rasp and maturity in the vocal.
The 414 was way too clean and had a lot of top end sparkle. The voice sounded like that of a young man, but the performance was good so I decided to work with it.
Used lots of 1176 style compression and some delay to thicken it up. The compression in a few stages beefed up the vocal quite a bit without getting too much pumping going on.
