How do you get that great tone on vocals? I love this song and all the others of yours that I've heard. Top drawer stuff here. Great use of BIAB. My music can be heard at: The Cracks

I wrote 8 song for a childrens instructional dance video once that was used in a lot of schools down here but I got a little ripped off on that one. Its taken a lot of practice to get to this stage. Ive just started using Reaper and that has helped me a great deal. Im glad you like my songs as that is the main reason I wrote so others can enjoy them too. My reward is hearing great comments back like yours and others here on PG. Thank you, you have made my day.
