Wow....thanks to all for listening and commenting on this one.
@pompeyjazz ....thanks for that about the arrangement. I know that sometimes I get lazy in that department and just let things flow. This one worked out well.
@Veance .......I appreciate that about the vocals. Over they years I have come to an understanding of the strong and weak points of my voice. I never figured I was much of a singer but I had songs to sing, so.......
I use protools....have since PT 6. I think I have achieved a measure of clarity in my recording through investments in good microphones and in taking the time to learn the best placement for them in my room. It's a small room but I have some unique sound reinforcement happening and that really helps to get clarity in the capture rather than having to overly depend on EQ in the mix.
I came SO close to going for the brushes on this one.........
@fischermans ....excellent comment about blending the vocals. I do work hard on getting that balance between blending them in and pointing them up. I'll probably be working hard on that until the day they carry me out of the studio.
@montydog ......thank you so much for that appreciation....especially about the lyrics. Really glad you like this one.
@rightly .........thanks for that second listen.....and for the first.
