Thanks, Tommy! I've got to give credit where credit is due - autotuning. smile

Plus, I let my son do the final tweaks on the mix, because I trust his ears more than mine. He ended up with a different effects chain on the vocal that came out a lot dryer. Sometime it's hard to objectively mix my own vocals.

You can thank BiaB for that intro - I let it auto-generate those four bars, and then simplified one of the chords.

Normally I'll replace the bass line with one of my own, but it made sense to keep this one simple. My bass-playing son wasn't happy with the upright going into the higher register in some spots, but agreed it was better to leave it alone and get this out the door.

I tried to incorporate Floyd's advice to turn up the drums, but with only a foot stomp, there wasn't much to work with. wink

I'll do my best to be more productive this year than in the past.

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