hey kw, the amount of effort you put into this is evident.
 
I like the subdued nature of the track, especially the guitar at 1:30.  I real like the snare sound you are using.  The vocals around 2:15 are excellent. 
 
fuzzy little cloud!!!
 
that little pause there, at 2:49, just slays me.
 
very nice  easily a song that I could listen to on an all night drive across the Arizona dessert.
 
really, that is good, I am going to listen to it again, right now.

Thanks, Jesse! I appreciate you chiming in, it's quite an honor to have J. Q. Screed commenting on a tune of mine. . Seriously, though, I'm grateful that you listened and gave feedback.

Hey Kevin ,
 
Overall your song  sounds Great .I feel like I'm listening to a proper song with real sweet vocals and a track that supports the vocals in a proper true way that music is supposed to support a singer as the singer sings  .
 
As you can probably tell , I don't get out much    the music I listen most of the time to is all instrumental
 
FWIW, I did hear all the artifacts .They didn't bother me all that much at all .
I almost wonder what would happen if you decided to use a plugin that made it sound as if your song was actually  a vinyl record
 
all the best,
 
Kenny

Hey, thanks so much, Kenny! I appreciate your comments and the fact that you lowered your standards for a bit to listen to a song with vocals, and I'm humbled that it was one of mine. 
 
I don't think I need a plug-in, with all the crackling going on it's just about the same as vinyl as it is. I did make heavy use of the tape emulation pro-channel plugin to get that cool vintage tape sound but I think that's as far as I want to go.
 
Anyway, I think I know what caused the crackling problems. My computer and interface combination aren't very good performers when WIFI is enabled. I have a new PCIe WIFI card that just kills the MOTU 8pre firewire throughput somehow, and I neglected to turn it off before I rendered it. I'm going to incorporate the feedback I've received in this thread and release another mix soon, hopefully it will be crackle free.
 
Thanks again!

Like it a lot and I also listened to a bunch of your other tracks good stuff all round. Refreshing to hear real guitar music these day's. :) 

Thank you! I love guitar music too, we must not let it die!

Yeah, I heard the artifacts and vocal siblance as well, but I think it says something when the song and performance together make those things sorta irrelevant.   I loved the overall vibe and smooth guitar tones, reminded me a bit of Sleepwalk, but with an honest and good sounding vocal performance over top.  Not easy being that up-front yet still on point. 

Thanks for the great feedback and thanks for listening. Once I figure out how to get a clean vocal recording I'm going to re-do the song. It really needs to be clean. 

this is great Kevin - it wouldn't sound out of place on a John Mayer album

Thanks, Daryl, made my day!
