This was well done overall. It's mixed up "LOUD!" When it came on I had to grab my ear buds off my head. The vocals and harmonies, very nice. And the bass and drums. The only thing I would tweak in a few places in the electric tremolo guitar. For the most part, it was spot on, but in just a couple of parts, I would punch in. In this genera and song, "it's all out there." You can't hide things in the mix like you can in other songs/generes. So all things considerded, a 9 out of 10 IMO.

@daryl: Thanks, glad you liked it. The tremelo was a preset in Guitar Rig Pro 4, don't remember which one.
@Lynn: Thank you.
@daryl1968: Thanks.
@ProjectM: Thank you.
@foxwolfen: Thanks. It's always good when you can appreciate what went in to something that you don't particularly care for.
@shawn: Thanks!!
@Jonbouy: Thank you. This shameless plug seemed to work out real well. ;)
@Beagle: "best I've heard from you" Wow! Thanks. The hard panning on this was a style that was popular in country music back in the early 60's. I think, not sure, that it was at the dawn of stereo and they went haywire with it. A lot of country tunes from back then were hard panned like this. I struggled with that clink sound. :)
@ProjectM: Two responses in one thread? Wow! Thanks! :)

I wish I remembered more about this project. It was a couple years ago and the original project can't be opened anymore. Something went kablooey in it. A lot of times I'll put notes in there, but if you can't open it ...

The hardest part of the whole song was getting the snare and acoustic to mesh. I remember spending a lot of time on that.

Oh, the other thing was the vocals. That old Peavey mic I used sounded horrible. Funny though, long after I recorded this, I got a mic pre with input impedance. I adjust it and it sounds every bit as good as my Blue Bluebird. There's $300 bucks I didn't have to spend. Doh! :)

Perfect!  

Oklahoma?  Red River!  Sounds like home, as does the song.  Quite nice!

I think it even deserves a new profile picture. :)  (I know...mine should be updated too...if I weren't related to three professional photographers, maybe I could get a new one too.)  :)  

Great job!  

Great job Bub.

I don't know the song so I can't say how true you were to original but your voice does not sound like the Buck Owens I know. None the less you sound good.


The entire mix is as clean as any Country song should be. 

Hey, Bub,
 
Very nice job on this great sounding, traditional Country-Western cover!
 
Perfect vocals for the genre, and the music and mix are right on the money.  Really well done, Bub.
 
Have a good one, buddy!
Bob
