And that vocal is superbly delivered!

As is the solo guitar (effects, arrangement and playing). Whether a rock ballad or blues you have the knack for always putting guitar parts in the mix always stand out yet are always supportive of the vocalist and the mix...sweet.

The acoustic guitar sparkles! Did you use Waves's CLA Unplugged?

Great production!

J&B



Thanks for the comment on the guitar, Bud! Supporting the vocalist is the main job of a guitarist IMHO and it's what I always try and accomplish.

You asked if I used CLA Unplugged on the BIAB acoustic guitars. I have used that plugin many times in the past on BIAB acoustic guitars (also on my electric guitar tracks sometimes), but in this particular case I actually used CLA Guitars on both of those tracks.

I'll probably upload an updated mix this weekend or early next week, Chris bought herself a new mic and wants to redo the vocal.

Thanks, Tom! I'm always trying to improve my production skills, lots to learn but it's a fun process.
