Really appreciate the fine comments you made. I did pay a little more attention to the use of effects... namely-reverb. I actually mixed half of the song at night with headphones... and then rechecked the mix on my monitors (which usually needs some tweaking). Another important thing was having all my
acoustic guitar tracks cut on the low end @75Hz 18db/OCT... really helps to keep the clairty and loose the mud.
Again, I really enjoyed your comments
Thanks

Thanks alot Kramer.
Im really trying hard to get a couple good songs tweaked because we have a smooth jazz station in town and the dj told me to bring in some songs for him to check out. So hopefully I can get them to sound good enough for the radio... should be exciting at any rate.
Im getting close to having enough material for another cd, but im starting to get more and more picky... so ive been scraping some stuff unless I think it has potential.
But, I should have a solid cd by the end of the year.
Thanks for you comments and question.

Thanks for your critique.
I didnt use a nylon guitar in this piece like you mentioned... it must be the way i pick.
I had some strong song structure here and went with the half time feel @ 2:10 ... thats very common to put that after 2 verses and 2 chourses... so im not too sure if it would jiv before that... but i guess you could do anything if you wanted.
Im using a stereo pair of mics on my acoustic.. and capturing a "real" image of it. If i were to put an dry electric guitar overdub against the acoustic I think it would sound unatural... something im not shooting for.
Thanks for your comments!

Glad to know the mix sounds good on a mono system.(i think thats what ya meant by one-way
) I guess thats a really good way to check a mix.
Im glad everything sounded good on your end and thanks for your ears!
