Here is another song titled "Red River" written by me and my former co-writer Ken Oda (words and music). It's in believe the country-rock genre. Again, any feedback will be helpful. I used BIAB for all the backing tracks. I did the vocal with BIAB generated harmonies.

Below is the link to the song in Soundcloud:

Cool tune. I like the country rock groove. It moves along nicely and a great choice of real tracks.

A fine song, production & mix... Vocal is very good, but the lead Gtar on the left is stepping all over it.
Try muting that Gtar whenever you're singing, and un-mute in-between vocal lines. I believe it be a big improvement for the listener.

I have remixed my song ("Red River") and put it back on the Soundcloud. The link to my song is below. I agree the vocal and lyrics standout much better with less guitar improv. Thanks again for your suggestions.

I enjoyed this, but would never have thought to call it any kind of “country”! It actually reminded me of Lou Reed in his “New Sensations” period.

Please update the first post with the new link! Thanks! laugh

Nice song, but the mix seems to lack energy. The drums are too far in the back, and the lead guitar is much too quiet.

bloc-head's comment about the lead guitar not stomping on the vocal is dead on, but , but when it takes the lead, it should be front and center.

Then again, I'd wait from feedback from better mixers than me before changing anything. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

David, I'm not sure how to update the original post. I just looked and it didn't seem obvious. Can you inform me, thanks. I have several posted songs that I want to update after the useful user comments.

Hi, Allan.

If not too much time has passed, you can choose the "Edit Post" button on your post.

However, after some amount of time (sorry, I don't remember how much time), that option disappears.
