Yeah, it's respectable. Every 16 bars, it changes up something. Regular, all the way to the end, a good mix of sounds and patterns, changing every 16 bars. Listenable. If you want to take it up a notch, you have to find a way to change up more than that, and express yourself in it.

You're not afraid of your own stream of consciousness. I have a friend who, when we drink too much, sometimes goes all stream of consciousness on me. When he'd do it decades ago, when I first met him, I was in awe of it - it seemed like a superpower. Now, it's more like a party piece - it's like...

Send lawyers, guns and money, then.

They don't sound like real horns to me, but they sound good for the song. Yup. Yes. It doesn't change much from the start to the end, so I'd mess with the volume during different sections, bringing it up and down a bit, like a wave. Chorus up a dB, the rest down a dB. Just a nudge. Warren...

Tune 2 on Wednesday night's hit chart HR. You'll have me putting on the Steely Dan next. Or the Allmans. Or JJ Cale. Piano up a dB, I'm begging you understand.

Finally got to the big speakers tonight. So I decided to listen some good stuff. The bvs can come up 1 dB on their first sung line (but not the second). Levels are perfect for me - everything gets heard and sets the state for the strong guitar segments. Piano can come up a dB if you like. But...

I just want the vocal to be louder. (I'm not easily pleased - I just know how to answer questions.)

Ah, now I understand. 😎

Bring the vocal up a bit during the chant repeat sections.

The vocal isn't whiny, the balance is good, and I like the cover.

Really like it. People are on about the drums. Maybe it's the level that attracts attention to the sound? I'm fine with the sound, but I would like the sound as much I reckon if you backed off on the level a bit. Just a thought experiement.

Gee, I really like this one, MS. Way, way different from what you posted before. What hsppened? 😎

You call it 'Lazy River' but that tune MOTORS along! I like all of your stuff, but this is one of my favs. You make it sound effortless. I put it in my FB page. 👍

Only five years old, and pops to the top! I had to listen, just based on the comments. Earbud listen: 4th mix is way, way better than 1st mix. No suggestions, I just really enjoyed listening. Good song, good performance, good sound. So... you gonna do it all again with a capo?

Exactly. When I was looking for a trustworthy ME, I mixed the tune as well as I could, then put Ozone on the master out and 'mastered' it. Then I sent the pre-'mastered' mix to a guy who I thought was worth a shot. It came back goofily worse than my mix or my 'master'. I wish there was the audio...

^ This^ I think a singer does themself a huge favor when they find out what and how they sing best, and then milk it until they can call themselves a dairy.

'Embrace the darkness, let it lead the way' Indeedy do. Best tune I've heard in weeks. Ten years ago, I'd've said rein in that big guitar a touch, but I love it. No suggestions on an earbud listen. I'm looking forward to listening to this one on the big speakers when I get back home in two...

Well, that pretty much wraps up *that* discussion. 🤣 I'm going the disclosure route from now on in this forum, by which I mean posting enough production notes so that people get an idea of how the project was assembled and how it came to sound the way it does. I think it'll make things more...

It comes across as an echo/repeat of what came in about 1.04 and again at 1.20 but with a different sound (and at the end as well). Change ups, right? I think the arp bits give the song more character than the singing, good even as it is.

1 When the band's full on, the mando sort of disappears just a b-i-t. That's okay. But would it be better if it maintained a better presence? 2 The mando's panned right and fiddle left, but it's opposite in the video. 3 Really, really good work. 4 I've never miked something like that, with...
