Llarion - Thanks for checking it out. I was glad to see that you limited your critique to the "depth" of the mix, or lack thereof. See, usually, I get stuff like, "What the fuck is that HUUUUGE hiss on the right side doing there?...and is that a BABY crying in the background?" Hehehehe... I'm more than happy to work on depth. Thanks again
Stonepiano - That was cool of you to post. I actually have a bunch of instruments that I'm not using these days. Trying to make these tunes sound different from each other with the same sparse instrumentation is a battle I lose more often than not. I'm glad you think I won this one.
Participant - Warms my heart, man. The last thing I posted as a mic check helped me a TON. If I just don't use EQ, Compression, or Reverb, I'm fine. hehehehe. I had no idea I was working TOO hard on them. No more of that for me. No sirreee Bob. This got recorded in 2 hours, after I lost a session that I'd spent all day on. Thanks so much for your time and your "golden" ears. (The Autotune is the plugin. And macle is the one who taught me how to USE it
- I added a TOUCH of highs to the gits, too).
Guernica - Thanks for the stars, brother. Even the 1 star bandit has taken a temporary refrain from my thread. I have drums on the way...from a tasteful player. But fuck, as hard as I worked on that tambourine...IT'S STAYIN'!! Lol. If you get a chance, check out the last mix for the panning at the end. There's more vocal in there now...THANK YOU JAMAL BUCHET. I think it sits a little better now. Anyway, Mike, your recordings blow this away, and I appreciate that you always seem to find time to listen, b/c I learn...and God knows I need it.
macLe - TAKES AN AUTOTUNER USER TO KNOW ONE, RIGHT?...I'm laughing my ass off, you nazi. I've never gotten to use Antares before, but I really like it, and I don't look at it any differently than reverb. It sounds cool on some stuff, and it sounds like processed shit on other stuff. I figure, if you can HEAR that a note is out enough to tune it, you're not cheating. Oh, thanks for the tip on the "spot" tuning, btw. I ran a whole vocal through it and...well, ...heehehe...let's just say that was NOT a cool effect. Thanks again.
Barometer - Thanks for gettin my avatar back for me. Now play.
Strat - I read that first sentence 5 times before I read it right. I was reading it as "great tune - EXCEPT lyrics." My low opinion of my recording ability just WON'T let me accept a compliment. hahahah. Thanks for listening. OH, AND THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ON THAT POP. It was the noise from my chair, and it was in my "bad" ear, so I didn't even know it was there. It's gone now.
wes480 - I have two items to purchase VERY soon. The C1 is one of 'em...but I couldn't wait to record this. Thanks especially for your opinions on the song itself. I'm proud of this one, and it's really the first one I've posted where I don't feel bad saying so. BTW - the only way I'd ever be "famous" is if I started sniping people at random or something.
I'll leave fame for the next generation, right?
OKAY, JAMAL BUCHET ADDED SOME BACKUPS, AND HE'LL BE PISSED THAT I'M DRAWING ATTENTION TO IT, SO THAT'S WHY I'M POSTING THIS IN ALL CAPS. BARRING ANY FURTHER CATASTROPHES, THE VERSION THAT'S UP IS THE BASIC MIX I'M GOING WITH...(til I get drums...hehehehe)
THANKS,
Chris (he got his eye back) Harris
, but who wants to bring up that?! seriously, I'm just curious, is there autotune on this, not that there's anything wrong with that, but you can tell me, cuz I think I'm hearing it.
Turns out, you are a complete fraud, and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I'm afraid I'm going to have to spit in your general direction, and walk away in disgust. spitting 
...and walking
