    I like the video................ cool !
    I liked your vocal,  the tone of your voice is nice .
    For a youtube video, it's great !
     
    JMO, the mix could use alittle attention.  I think it would sound
    better with a little more separation between guitar and keys .
    the background vox could come up also.
    Thats just my thoughs,  take it with a grain of salt !   LOL
     
    Love that "Guild" !

    Very Very nice work! Scoobs right thou, pull the piano and guitar apart abit...and to me, it screamed for a string quartet in the last chorus. But once again...awesome job.

    Hey Tim thanks for your comments.  I'm glad you enjoyed it!  As for separating the guitars and the keys a bit, are you suggesting guitars panned left some and keys panned right some?  I hear that done well, but I always have a difficult time producing that separation and also making the mix sound full.  Any tips, if there are any at all, would be awesome.  Thanks!

    Thanks for checking it out!  I'm glad you liked it.  As for the piano and guitars, are you suggesting panning them apart?  Because I usually have a difficult time doing that while maintaining a FULL sounding mix.  Any tips?  Thanks!

    Try cloning the piano trk and guitar to new trks and pan each 65-70% L&R,(as a starting point..make it as wide or narrow as needed) then blend with the faders till you get a full sound. You'll might have to pull the volume on the original piano & guitar trks down to compensate for the new trks added. Hope that helps.
    Peace, Kevin

    Thanks for the reply.  I'll definitely work on it.  Right now the recording is just two acoustic mics hard panned left and right, while the keys are a stereo track, probably about 75% left and right.  I'll work on that separation.  Thanks again!
