I would welcome opinions on the overall quality of my recording of this old John Prine track. I've heard him say it's his favorite and it's definitely one of mine. I used a relatively inexpensive Samson compressor mic connected through a M-Audio Fast Track, edited with Sony Acid Studio. Instrumental track was purchased as a 99 cent wave file.

Please feel free to comment on pitch and timing as well as recording technique (slight reverb and compression used on vocal track). I don't claim to know what I'm doing, just trying to learn.View attachment hello in there 6.mp3

For someone who doesn't know what he's doing you're doing better then I am. Not like that's hard or something.

I think it could benefit from some modest auto-tuning.
 
What is auto-tuning? Is that a type of pitch adjustment?

Auto tuning is pitch correcting. Like if you do not hit the notes you want, you can use Auto Tune. Also, what I meant about the left audio is that the guitar is playing more on my right ear, and I suppose that is not what it should be like. I heard the original song and its balanced. I hope you understand.

Cheers,
Darren.
