Happy to Be Sappy

This is a little ditty I just wrote, and recorded on Sonar X1 producer. I am still learning Sonar. What a terrific program. Can you give me any feedback, particularly on the mix?

Lyrics below for the sake of completeness.

Lyrics

 

[PoeticIntensity]

Kind of a fun song, but flippin' nuts, too. When you put the fake drums in along with the acoustic, it doesn't do too much to the song. Mostly because it shows how off the acoustics are. All in all, I kind of liked it.

You need to pan further, too. The recording is very narrow.

Thanks for sharing!

The recording is very narrow.

Yeah, sounds like your Eq-ing for tape. I had to break that habbit learning digital. You dont need to cut so much bass, or boost highs, (just a thought.) I think you have to get a bit more serious about the drums and bass, the sloppiness detracts from your compositions which I think are quite good. The potential is there for a cool quirky pop sound alot of people will enjoy. (Not so much here, but big on the Coffee house crowd, from which you could build a nice fan base)
