Hi, Hans.

Thanks, I'm glad the song works for you.

I'd like to take credit here on the voice, but I suspect it's mostly because the software has improved, and this song is a better fit for the range of the voice.

There's not a lot of back and forth in pop songs, although there are some exceptions. The Christmas song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" comes to mind.

You're right - there's not as much interplay in the instruments as there could be.

Part of the reason is that I had initially written this in another key, and the guitar part worked with the vocal a bit better. When I transposed it, I lost a bit of that.

I also rely more on rhythm instruments, and don't have as much variety in the arrangement as I could have done. I was a bit more focused on getting it finished than building the arrangement as much as I could.

I suspect that adding a better bass track could help. Maybe I'll see if I can get my son to play one.

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