...or should I have put an S in front of "hits"?
 
Anywhoo....
 
Here's "My Jenny Girl".  Not for the faint of heart.

Vocals up please! I get that you are going for reverb and delay swamp ( I like the delay on the vocal).
 
There we go, vocals come up nicely with the acoustic guitar!
 
I Like how the melody fits over the chords. Pink Floyd watch the hell out!
"Story songs" can be really awful and really boring. Yours is neither!
 
for your vocal, what delay are you using? Do you have a double instance of it or something? It sounds really sustained and really rich.
 
 
nice job, you seem to do consistently good work!
 
cheers,

Yes...the intro is meant to be murky and muffled...though I do need to bring out the "on down LLewellen River" part. The double delay for this particular project is Camel Audio's "Camel Space".

Nice .....  Almost 7 minutes of really cool music.
 
I really like this.  Good work on this all the way around.

My favorite so far, ol' pal. Makes me wanna dust off a flanger. Some more information on the vocal chain, please. The compression is extreme but really good. 
 
I kept expecting some Gilmoure-ish slide guitar to pop in there somewhere. But no problem, the vocals are strong enough to carry the song even if all you'd had was an acoustic guitar for accompaniment.

I might add some spacey strat stuff there towards the end.  This is actually a fairly old track that I'd never put a vocal down on.  If you listen in the third verse you can hear my very first attempt at using the Wavelore Steel Guitar.  Pedestrian...but it works, I think.  The vocal chain is rather extensive...but I'll copy it down and post for you.
 

pretty cool.....enjoyed it thx.

@Bit...OK, the intro vocal is:
WAVES NLS "Mike" drive 5
WAVES Vocal Rider set to "fast"
UAD LA2A "Grey" 3 to 1
SPL VOX Ranger to taste
D16 Fazortan to taste
Camel Space "extra voice"
Eventide Blackhole "transfigured"
 
Lead vocal is:
WAVES NLS "Mike" drive 5
WAVES Vocal Rider set to "fast"
T-Racks De-Esser "male"
UAD LA2A "Grey" 3 to 1
WAVES Manny Marroquin EQ to taste
WAVES CLA Vocals male to taste
M1 Limiter Lite
 
Vocal Bus is:
WAVES NLS Bus "Mike" Drive 6
FabFilter Pro-C "gentle wide mastering"
 
Hope this helps.  After hearing both the Jenny and Party vocals up on SoundCloud I'll definitely be tweaking both of them a bit and trimming some of the "fat". 
 

Interesting. Just a 3:1 ratio on an opto compressor. Surely that can't account for all the volume flattening I hear. Must be the Vocal Rider?

Yup...You're probably right.  And I love that little Vocal Rider (and Bass Rider) near to death.  I don't use it on everything but when I need that "flat-phat" sound it works a treat.

PS...don't forget the CLA adds (probably) a fair amount of compression as well...Chris loves it so.
