Hey Steve, thanks for listening and commenting. Thank you for pointing out that the acoustics seem to cradle the vocal; that's exactly what I was going for. Sean doubled his acoustic by playing it twice. I was amazed that he was able to make them match so closely, especially when it is finger picked. I spread each track left and right and allowed for a pocket for the vocal to sit down into.
I also was going for a real intimate feel for this song and elected to go very light on the reverb and FX's on the vocal. In this song, that intimacy seemed to work really well. We experimented with doubling and tripling Sean's own voice in the choruses, but it started to take away from that intimate feel. As a band, we made the decision to stick with just our 3 lone voices, blended together in the choruses.
All fun stuff.
