broken hands-solo acoustic-y thing

[adamvelvetu]

i recorded this and seven other songs for a solo guy. it was mostly just acoustic and him singing with occasional overdubs of guitars and extra vocal tracks. this was my favorite song from the sessions:

That's pretty good dude. The vocals sound real nice as well as the guitars.

Sounds really good. Everything is clear and the vocal sound/reverb/whatever is just right to my ears.

These are nit-picks for sure, but if I had to offer criticism, two things came to mind when listening:

- the guitar could come up a smidge (or the vocals down, whatever)
- maybe knock 2dB or so off the harmony part with respect to the main vocal

Good stuff all around.

agree with the harmony vocals need to come down a bit. Maybe some complimentary eq on the background and main vocal. I also thought the main vocal had a tad, and I mean a tad too much reverb on it. There is a squeaking chair at the end of the song, try some automation to get that out, or just end the song a bit earlier. Otherwise, great sound. Love the guitar sound. Good job!

thanks guys in the interest of promoting the artist his name is Anthony Retka, he plays in a Detroit group called Tone & Niche and this song (and those others) will be coming out on his solo album. Check him out...he's one of my favorite performers in Detroit!
