Bob, Ray, Marty, Deej and Noel,

Thank you all for your kind words. All that's been said about my vocals I start to believe by now. It gave me a happy Eastern!

Bob, with kind words I had you in mind! Thanks.

Ray, I was a bit puzzled by what you said about my voice. I don't treat my voice so much. Just a little reverb, some eq-ing and a bit of compression. The ordinary things. I tried some pitch correction, but I don't like the results. So you heard a voice as it was in most other songs...

Oh, yes, Hans, your vocals, as always, shine. This is packed full of entertainment, man. Your lyrics are always thought provoking and wise. You mastered the art of dynamics and it shows. Perfect instrumentation and in, spite of the large group in your studio, everything is perfectly blended in the mix.


Marty, your comment made my day. I don't know if I can believe all is true, but not only your songs gave me smiles, your posts too. Thanks

I like the mix a whole lot—great use of that piano on that first break; very creative. I think Floyd may be right about the vocal getting a bit hot; perhaps down a few dbs and a bit on the reverb? Dunno. But the vocal is stellar—really nice work there. Great sound!
My best to you,
Deej


Deej, what nice of you! I adjusted the vocals a bit when Floyd mentioned the same as you. But for my ears it is adjusted enough by now. otherwise I get complains you can't understand what I sing...

Noel96, Wow, you had one of the nicest comments, because of the drawings and nice words. I didn't copy them, because that is a lot of space, but I certainly was flateered by it. I showed it to some people here (and a son). They saw how pleased I was by your words and cartoons, so only my son was teasing me. The others showed more respect...

Thanks everyone and have a nice day,
Hans
