I'm going to agree with Kevin here - I think you're more "outside" the beat than you think. You might want to set it aside for a bit and have another listen later. I suspect it's one of those things that you get used to after repeated listening, but the initial effect is rather jarring.

Same thing with the guitar when the vocals kicked in - it didn't really "click" for me.

And I thought the same thing about lacking in the low/middle frequencies.

Dang, I really hate to be writing this, especially after the post about not giving feedback when not asked for. I just think you might need fresh ears here, that's all.

OK, enough of the bad. The your guitar playing really makes the song stand out from other versions. The duet is very effective, and I've never heard Josie sound better - she really is outstanding here. As usual, you've got some really nice bits in the song.

I hope this helps. If I've overstepped here, sorry!

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