Run Heart Run, my first actual co-write recorded in Sonar X1

Did all of the music for this, lyrics written by co-writer. Needed a country song for a friend. All music is soft synths, some very obvious. I only spent about an hour and a half on track, so please dont crucify yet. I plan on redoing the tracks to make them more realistic.

thanks notnat. I plan on putting some real acoustic on it, the strumming at least. Dont have a guitar player good enough to do the verse picking, so that has to stay. Dont have a mandolin player either. I will spend more time making the parts more realistic. Thanks for the comments. What did you mean by acoustic guitar needs to be cleaner? It is overly compressed because of the waves tape plugin, I hit it really hard. I will fix that also. Thanks again for the comments

I use pitch correction, but try to do it judiciously. Is it very obvious? Man, I watched your Youtube videos, good stuff there. Is that you singing with the gravel in your voice?

Thanks lynn! I think maybe he wants to know if she sings that on pitch, either that or he noticed some artifacts. Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Thanks thalweg! My co-writer is in the midst of a re-write at the moment, from suggestions we received on a songwriters website, so I will hold off until we have a final lyric, then I will attempt some harmony parts.

This is great as is. Real nice voice and song. I think the compression works. 
I listen on a Mac laptop. 

Oh, by the way, the co-writer is Dottie Corley. She wrote the lyrics, and this melody jumped out at me, thought it would be a good fit for the style Tiffany likes to sing. Tiffany is 19, and does a beautiful job on anything I throw at her.
