Ok, second time through here. I was outside smoking a cig and saw this come up and listened to it outside in the dark on my phone. I'm now inside listening on my tracking phones. Already on the third time through in the time it took me to type that... I like it a lot. It's a lot more involved...

And I admit to excess. I'm working on a song now where one track is just the reverb 100%. No direct signal. Sounds awesome! I think I may do a song that is just reverbs.

Cool track. Very unusual and creative as I've come to expect from you. You're sort of the opposite of me in that you pack a lot of changes and surprises into a compact arrangement. It's refreshing actually. I'm not wild about the mix myself though. It just feels like the rhythm guitars, bass...

Cool. I think Nola suffers from reverbaphobia lol. I don't hear it as any drier myself, if anything, the vocal seems less dry now? Not sure, but while it doesn't necessarily seem lower in level, it sits better now I think? I toggled back and forth to be sure, because it's not like you reinvented...

Thanks Bubba. Ah yes, the intro. It is a bit rough, isn't it? Good catch. There's this sweet, smooth opening to most versions I heard and I just couldn't quite nail it. The two guitar parts play completely different things during the course of the song and I tried to time it and just jump in...

Listening to Mix2 now. Agreed on the cymbal harshness...HHs in particular. At high volume through phones, they're pretty piercing. It might be ok in another mix, but all of the other tones seem so warm by comparison. Good, tight performances. Very cool that so much of it was captured live. Some...

Ha! You're not feelin' it, eh Trip? I understand. Not sure I have a style, but this is certainly an odd choice for me. I'm good for a country song or two a year. Same with rap. I just can't seem to settle on anything. It's a shame about the pitch, especially on such a vocal-centric number as...

This is sounding really good man. Guitars sound excellent. Love the bass tone when it pops out on some of those little runs. Drums sound good, but I could use even more of 'em I think. Vocal performance is perfect for this (background vocals are really nice), but I think the lead vocal could...

Hey chili. I'm listening on my tracking phones which are normally somewhat dark, and the vocal track, and to some extent the mix as a whole, is sounding kind of harsh to me? I seem to be saying that a lot lately though, so... I do think it could be warmer overall with a little more low end...

Thank you easlern. You, and I think at least two others mentioned the harshness. I think Trip even mentioned about the same freq...2.5-3k. Maybe I have an aural blind spot there? lol Comp seams as in the drums? I think those are the only elements not played through, so it must be that. Robgreen...

I think I agree most with the two comments above on mix 2. Sounds like a 3rd mix is on the way? I do think this is an improvement, as you've addressed the inconsistent vocal level issue, but I'm still left with an overall feeling of brittleness or harshness, perhaps stemming from vocal and...

Interesting discussion. I would only offer that there is not necessarily much difference, or that there doesn't have to be much difference. You can self impose that same priority to your takes regardless of medium. Just because digital affords one the capability to more easily comp together...

Ah, see now that would be helpful, eh? Sorry, I'm only here to identify the problem, not fix it! Nah, it's just that I don't know much about drum samples or software drums beyond loops. I've just never heard a snare quite like that one. I don't mind the smallish, lighter tone so much...

Cool. I have of course heard of those things and seen pics here and there, but never seen one in person let alone played one. Something to consider.

Ok. I'll keep an eye out for that. Hope you got a patent.

Thank you DM60. I admittedly breezed through this one in a matter of hours (another unique thing about it!), but I remember spending quite a bit of time struggling at the end with where to sit the vocals. I agree they seem too forward, but honestly, lowered just a little, it sounded wrong. I...

That's great! Thank you JDOD. Thank you mr. rayc sir. Much appreciated! I've not heard of Don Gibson...god, everyone and their mother has covered this song I think. When doing a little research prior to starting this, I was surprised to find that one of the most commercially successful...

Yes, and those sandals!

Hey there, Listened earlier and again now. Agreed that it could be less dry. Agreed on the vocal level fluctuating a bit too much as well. For me, the whole mix had a slightly unpleasant sizzle to it...a harshness if you will...I think it comes from the cymbals and vocals combined? Lastly...

Little known fact that he enjoyed extended jams.
