joro - thanks for the feedback......I know I did go overboard on reverb on this one...I was trying to get a sound that was definitely dripping in verb, but not so much that it makes it muddy....guess I still have to work on that
Khompewtur - Thanks for listening....I'm thinking what I told Sabbath about the words.......I think they're hard to understand due to the way I'm singing, not how I'm mixing 'em.....that was only my second time to sing the verses and I was reading as I was singing....and unfortunately, it shows......maybe I'll wait a few days, get more familiar with the song (just wrote it), and then retrack and see how that works.............and, yup, they are backing vocs on those parts.....and i'm glad you asked as that's what I was attempting to do with them.....just distant enough to be noticed, but have to question if it is vocals
Sluice - I know what you're saying about the lyrics......but Satchel Paige really did say "how old would you be if you didn't know your age"......so I feel weird changing it.....tell you what....if I ever get famous, I'll gladly change the lyrics
Ghost of FM - i'm gald the verb wasn't too overboard.....I definitely should retrack the vocal in a week or so for both clarity and pitch, but as I wrote above, I don't think I could do much beter now because I haven't memorized my own lyrics yet
....I tried adding percussion, but it never sounded good, so I kinda just left it for the time being........

had a little trouble making out the lyrics, but I'm not sure if I would sacrifice the sound to make them more understandable.. I don't know..
Sabbath - Thanks for the feedback....I agree on the sound v. clarity option...I'm thinking the main clarity is lost from my actual singing on the verses, as that was litterally the second time I sung the verse...and I was reading off a sheet of paper......maybe I'll retrack in a week or so w/ a little more familiarity......i always seem to record verses right after i write them, which seems to always lead to problems w/ clarity and/or pitch (note to self)
