Welcome to the forums.

That's a song that has a retro sound when the country singers used to sing really low in their register.

The backing sounds nice and clean. You have a jumping jukin vibe going on. I can see lots of folks two stepping to that beat.

Your vocal track is bit loud.... I'd back it off a few dB.... Are you using any sort of fx on it? Sounds like you are. One things for sure... it's distorted in quite a few places. Kinda like you were overloading the mic.

Can you elaborate a bit on the tracks you used and how the vocals were recorded?

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Danny,

welcome to the forum!
Nice first post.
Like Herb said your vocals are too loud and
sometimes distorted. Maybe you can manage that.

Welcome to the forum! Like the song-energetic, entertaining, and you got the right feel for this vibe. I would change the vocal processing. There's a weird phasing/distortion thing going on. I would make it a little straighter. Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Actually did this tune a few years ago on maybe BB 2008...can't recall.

I used the Chet Atkins BG and notated the intro/outro note by note. Towards the ending, I cut out one instrument at a time until the outro.

I did use an octave box to take my voice down an octave and ran the SM58 mic thru a Eurorack 602A mixer to Magix SW track, adding the BB track mix.

I purposely brought the vocal up front but I think you're right that it's too far up front AND overloaded. It was a quickie mix and I need to redo it with the latest BB 2016.

Thanks for your input. I think you're right on target.
