Donny, still enjoying this tune a lot! Am guessing that's original water footage by you. Very cool. Also recognize the Sweetwater beauty shots. Been there, done THAT. As a busking track, I think you've got a great foundation, and could even stretch it out a bit with solos, repeats, etc. As a recording, I think it sounds very nice except that the level of your vocals sometimes trails off at the end of a line. If it bothers you, it can be fixed in the mix, as they say. But I have zero input on the quality of the track for entertaining folks live. I think it will continue to do great!

Donny, this is an improvement.
I think there are still some of sibilant issues, however that is my opinion and others may not agree. It is is much better than the original post and I still like this song.

Hey hey DC Ron, thank you again for all the love. Yea the water footage and place holders of the sweetwater guitars are there because I don't have many stills and such yet. Plus, the song is about a woman I haven't met yet in real life, hopefully that will change. Yea I know the video is Chessy, but you have to start somewhere. Thanks again.

Hey hey MarioD, yea I am on a learning curve, but I keep struggling through it. The fact is the sibilance problem is deeper than one would have thought. The digital high frequencies are difficult to attenuate, I don't have a de-esser, but I don't think I will need one. With proper adjustments and careful watch on input level and mic placement, many problems can be stopped before they appear. The one that got me, and I am sure you will get a chuckle out of it, was I realized that I recorded the first cut with my teeth out. After another member mentioned the essing I went back and sure enough I have a small whistle with no teeth. A relatively common thing. The price of growing old, after all I am working on 75 years old. However, I do not have the common ess pronounced whistle, thank God for small favors. I thank everyone for commenting and helping me work through this.
As far as the file transfers from one app to the next. I found that the volume levels are much more important at certain places. The original Wave file I used as input to Clipchamp which then wrote its own MP4 file which was used as an input to YouTube which then wrote its own file. Not the original input Wave file. Anyway, the learning curve was steep for me.
Thank you for all the love
Donny G
