Nice song, well performed and captured, but I agree the top end of the female vocal needs a little taming to take the sharp edge of it, just some gentle softening.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks wookie!  TOTP!

That was nice, David!   Other than the vocal freqs as already mentioned, the song itself is really solid and the performances/arrangement are right there with it.  The modulation towards the end gave it a nice lift.   Is that you singing?  
 

eph
 
cool
 
I envy you
I wish I could find a female to sing along with me
who is she?
I think I could get into the weeds
 
what a heartfelt song this is
 
this is just a whole new side of you
 
awesome

nice tune eph,
it's a great effort....
i don't hear this as country at all.
it sounds like pure pop arrangements to me.
 
 
i agree about some of the vox sections being too loud, they just stand out too far...
 
when mixing a song like this, where the vox is featured,
i like to find the loudest part of the song, with the loudest vox going on,
make THAT level be correct,
then place a volume envelope, automate the vocal level peak there, and work backwards...
finding the lowest vocal level where it really needs to be louder, 
and ride that fader (envelope) with the automation by bringing it up to the pre-determined LOUDEST level...
 
as you go along, you then will not collectively let the vocals get louder than the LOUDEST mix level you have already established..
 
this is WAY better than trying to govern a vocal mix with a compressor.
but choosing the BEGINNING starting point of levels is key.
 

Pretty damn good this David
 
Who did the singy bits?

More slide guitar! :) 
 
I like this song. Great mix. Female vocal just a little too loud at first, but by 3minutes it seems fine. Maybe just an eq issue. I hate those. Probably not a volume issue when I think about it.
 
Yeah man, great song.

David, I really enjoy your music - the vocals on this are just fantastic - a lot of character - both male and female. The mix just seem perfect to me - love this tune.

At the end of country music that I like, nice melody. As others have mentioned something needs to be done to the mix of the vocals, particularly the female vocal. Maybe not just the levels, it my just be my computer speakers but certain frequencies seem to too prominant and some EQ is needed.

thanks Glyn!  Yes, the vocals are too prominent.  I've mastered with Landr and it sounds a little better.  Thanks for your keen observations.

Thanks for the feedback Steve.  Not me singing.  My voice is more poppy than country.  I have to experience Nashville vicariously.
