Excellent job on this number.  It sounds very professional indeed.

Thank-you everyone for the kind words. The drums were poorly recorded unfortunately. Tons of phase issues and the kick mic placement resulted in a largely useless thud. I was under time constraints and the kick is a perfect example that fixing it in the mix...is more hassle than its worth. I'm going to try to shape the crap out of it with eq to see if I can give it more presence without muddying up the bottom end. I also look forward to listening to all the commenter work...and providing feedback in kind when I can get a spot of time on my plate. Cheers and good health Thal

Absolutely beautiful listen.  Love this strong acoustic guitar rhythm style - and goes without saying, the vocals are awesome.  This is very much commercially ready IMHO.  I have only one minor nit and I've heard it on a lot of other female vocals of like top40 stuff - too much harmony.   The verses IMO should be just solo, cause there is plenty of chorus where those BGV and harmony shines.  The first verse was solo and I wanted to hear that again.  Later tho, it came in with harmony, and it's every word, every phrase.  Just a bit of a thing with me, and she shines so great that I'd have solo'd her more, up until the chorus parts.   Awesome song!!  I truly enjoyed it.   Well done all the way around - and I didn't notice anything bad in the drums either.       -John

Thank you John.  I suppose the harmonies are a symptom of trying to fill with sound. But i think u are right.  The finest meals are simple well cooked ingredients. 

Thanks for the listen and well thought critique.

No drums bleating over the Bass


Not sure what software you using but if you have it the transient shaper might help

Agree with the comments re the kick. I'd also back the vocals off slightly - just a little too dominant for me - sounds like it was mixed by the singer if you know what I mean. Really nice tune though - crits are just nit-picking really.

Is that the TS 64 plug?
