steve,
another good one, it's all been said already.
Would you be willing to post your recording/mixing/mastering techniques in the tips and tricks section? It doesn't tend to scroll away as quickly as the other forums, and what you're doing works so well, it should be put where it's easily accessible for a long time.
Likewise, there are others here who do subtle little things that make a big difference in the final product. Maybe if such an entry gets made to Tips & Tricks, y'all could add your tricks to the thread.

Wow, that sounds like a song that the British duo "Peter and Gordon" from the '60's would do
Enjoyable as usual but now I've got that chord sequence running through my head...grrr LOL
I add an +1 to Pat's idea also

Thanks so much for all of your generous comments!
I have been overwhelmed with my work, and battling a sinus infection, so I apologize for taking so long to get back with you guys! I will try to post some of my recording/mixing/mastering techniques in the Tips & Tricks section. It may be tomorrow night before I can get to it though.
Again, I truly appreciate all of your kind words!
Steve

Just now had a chance to listen to this. This was excellent and I could see myself commuting to work listening to this song on the radio.

Thanks for posting this one Steven and sharing some of your recording secrets with us!
Of course, I recognise the very high level of skill that has gone into making this – but I am going to be a slightly dissenting voice in this thread.
I find the lead vocals in the verse are a bit lacking in intensity/conviction (not volume)
That there is the ‘Gloria’ chord pattern give or take.
After the first couple of verses maybe there is too much going on sonically (the horns at 1:24, tambourine at 2:00, cowbell and rock org at 2:15, the voices at 2:32….etc).
It could be argued that they been added to distract attention from what is otherwise a rather ordinary and somewhat formulaic composition.
And if there is nothing going on between the two protagonists other than courteous greetings, then how could they have their own song?
Yes of course Green Dress is very well played, put together and mixed, but to my ears this is not one of your finest Steven.
Very best regards,
Marc

Great recording. You managed to get a riff type sound. Cool. Great vocals too.

Please feel free to add your tips, etc in the post there in the Tips and Tricks Section.
