Hi Lawrence...I started listening to this a while back when you first posted it and got pulled away in the middle for a phone call and never get back to it. But on re-listening I must say I really enjoy the feel you've created. It moves in a way to make you think you're out there riding the waves. So much to like about this production. You voice is unique and perfect for this song; love what you've done with the side-mid eq technique to get those drums to pop; rock guitar really makes it cook; love the stops and the emphasis it adds. Overall very well done. Can't wait to here more.
Keep 'em coming,
Bob Thank you for the kind words Bob.

"gruverider"... "Summer Chaser" is a really cool title for a song and packs a lot of imagery in it, but writing an extended set of lyrics about an inanimate object is something I consider to be a...well, an extraordinary feat. It must require an intense identification with the "object" coupled with a fertile and inspired imagination to breathe enough life into it to give it a personality that you could actually sing about. That's an impressive thing to do! The music as supplied by your RealTracks choices is "beach-ready" and as "wet n' wild" as a "Seven-Up" soda commercial of the sun-drenched 70's. Your vocals? There is a quality in your voice, a presence...the best way I could explain it is, you've probably heard people speak of attractive actors and actresses in this way: "(So-and-so) has a face that the camera loves." And so it is with the microphone that recorded your voice. You simply...sound good, sir!  Sincerely, LOREN

Hey Lawrence,
I really liked Summer Chaser. It's very well constructed, in every aspect. Your voice has a lot of personality, and that I think is the best compliment one can give to a singer (the tone of your voice reminds me a little bit of Joe Walsh). Production wise the song is also very, very well done. If I may give you a suggestion, you may want to reconsider the balance between the voice and the music, maybe the voice is a tiny bit too prominent in relation to the music, or too "present". Maybe it's a matter of loudness, or tone, or reverb, or a combination, not sure. Maybe I would try to decrease the vocals' loudness a tiny bit, and add a tiny bit of reverb. Very very little, not sure. Also consider that I'm listening on headphones, so maybe the impression on speakers would be different. I know that nowadayas in many productions the vocals are very, very prominent ... I'm old school, where the music and vocals were more "balanced", so to speak. So, it's also a matter of taste :-)
Great job!

Great job! Jon, thank you for taking time to comment and give me feedback. For sure some of the songs I've listened to as reference are vocal centric and truth is I've probably remixed the song a half dozen times since I uploaded it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
