That is one well written song! I liked it a lot

Doesn't it always feel like winter in Canada?


Vocals are sung very well. But I can hear a hiss whenever vocals come in? I personally will take performance any day over pristine quality. But I did notice it and thought I'd mention it. 

After listening again I'm not sure where the hiss is coming from? Sounds almost like a gate is opening/closing on a noisy track. Perhaps it's just in soundclicks conversion? I'm listening with headphones. Perhaps this is not as evident through monitors?

Oh, and I was listening to the version on soundclicks. I could not find the song on soundcloud. 

I hear it in the soundcloud version as well. 

Listening on Soundclick as Soundcloud link is not working  - I agree with Scotty that the does seem to be something a little distracting going on - I think its maybe the vocal effects you have used - almost sounds like you have a track playing that isn't meant to be at times or maybe a muted track where a send is still activated.

Guitar sounds nice though and you have a very distinctive voice - in a good way.

Lol, the weather is perfect about 6 months of the year here on the West coast (Vancouver Island)
sunny, 75 deg. days, 68 deg. nights.
The other 6 mo it rains..


Thanks for the heads up on the hiss. I'm not hearing it yet so have to adjust either my ears or my monitors.

I love the song. It's really a good bit of writing.

I hear poping here and there. I think it's the vox where it happens. I think your on the right track with the mixing. Just keep comparing it to good recordings of the like. Croce, Taylor, Mason and other like them.

Well done!!!

Thanks so much for the post. I'll listen for pops. 
I did set up for "0" crossing cuts but I guess it can happen anyway?
Re hiss comments:
I'm now concerned that my tinnitus may be masking some HF. 
The other day a grand daughter said "what's that noise?" 
My son confirmed that I couldn't hear a cicada. 
I guess I better get tested.  

Cool song, great performance.  Nice voice.  Some drums woulc add, some congas on this would have a nice feel too.

The lead guitar might be a tad too loud.  Everything is clear but some mild compression might tame some of the imbalance issuse.

Did you use mastering on this?  Ozone or something like that?

Cool tune.  Again, I like vocals and the guitar work is really nice too.  The lyrics are good too.

I like it.
I have tennitus as well, its a curse when mixing.  If I get cymbals to where I can hear them.. they are way too loud.  Since one ear is worse than the other, I always switch my headphones around on preliminary mixes and listen both ways to make sure nothing is suffering from my worst ear.

Ha, yes I did back off on the rhythm trax which brought out the vox and lead.
No mastering yet this is just the premaster mix tho it is all sent to a master buss with some comp and limiter of course. 
And yes I agree with the conga idea.
Thanks Daryl
