Try this on for size:

I kept hearing this one chord change in my head every time I listened to this song so I decided to include it in the new mix.

Your thoughts please...

Thanks

Nice job Dave, Really enjoyed the drums on the intro and the rolls leading into the vocal.

Not sure if you are using a 3rd party DAW to mix your songs but the vocal could use a little compression to help wit the instrumental drowning it out and keeping the vocal level.

Keep up the good work Dave!

Thanks Anthony:

I think that BIAB has some of the best program drums in the business. You have to dig deep for the patterns but it's worth it. I'm still working on my mix. Everyday I get up, I hear something different.=D

Thanks again and will post the finals (some day)LOL!!!!

What's up Will B???

Thanks for your comments. I want to be careful and not add too much. Right now, the song has something that grabs you and most have stated that it causes them to reflect on their own lives and youthful experiences...

Thanks again,

Respectfully,
DBM

This is really cool Dave! I remember liking it before. You have a very passionate vocal style. I think compression and a tuning plugin could tame it a bit. Very cool tune!! Take care. Greg

Waves tuning plugin and compressors (CLA-2A or CLA-76). Melodyne also makes good tuning software. Take care. Greg

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your input. I like the drum rolls also. I can only customize my drums with BIAB. Very intuitive...

Hi Greg:

So, it's Saturday and a nice steady rain is falling down. Can you guess what I and my buddy Melodyne will be doing this afternoon???=D

I'll be using my studio speakers instead of headphones for a better sound...
