Dog collar or Try this

I was calling this song "Try this" until I realized my dog was shaking her collar about half way thru. Instrumental.

BTW, there is a video version of the song also:

Dog collar or Try this!

Video was edited in Presonus Stereo One 4. Used VST3 to bring in the BIAB files then added them to the video.

Thanks bunches!

Deb,
you've a lovely melody settled into that backing.
I think you need a little volume automation/levelling as it does vary a bit.
There should be a compressor in your Presonus program that will help you achieve that.

As Rayc says, more volume on the guitar would help. From what I can hear, though it sounds quite nice. Keep going with it.

Thanks for the comments folks. I'll look at how I am mixing this.

Oddly, Studio one thought I was clipping a lot so I cut back. Probably need to cut back on all tracks and not just the guitar lead. Learning curve. :-)

Enjoyable song Deb. Biab is perfect for guitar. Have a loo at some pentatonic scales. They are very musical. Lots of information on the Internet.
