Well I just spent about an hour editing the vocals via the audio/edit window and I think it really helped. I didn't go nuts, I just moved the blatant words/phrases onto the beat. That's a very handy tool!

I've updated the song page with the new one.

A real toe-tapper! Nice tune. I hear where the vocals are off a bit. You have to figure out if that's latency or not. You don't want to start working around it with editing. It's a solution for this fix, but you shouldn't have to do that if you're singing properly to begin with. It's tough to say whether it's latency or not. People who sing out of time generally don't really know they're doing it, which is why it may be hard for you to know for sure. I would know if I saw you sing it but obviously....! If you don't have a sense of timing when you sing, then editing will be your friend. If you know you're singing on the mark in the first place, then fix the latency. Don't accept it and edit after the fact, if you can help it. I guess the question begs- how are you recording vocal? What's the chain? Meaning gear you hook up to.

All in all- good tune!

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the compliment and your thoughts as well.

I really don't think it's latency, I'm using a shure condeser mic and the shure X2U USB adapter into a USB port for vocals & haven't really had any problems until this song. (well maybe a little on my last one too) I think it's me just not gettin the words out fast enough.

I spent 25+ years playing 4 & 5 nights a week in a band and we would record almost every night right off the mixer... I never noticed a problem with my "sense of timing when I sing" on all those live recordings, but... I am somewhat older & slower now and this song is pretty snappy at 140bpm! If I did it with the band I'm in now it would HAVE to be slowed down.

Hey, once again thanks for takin the time to listen, and check out the new one if you like.
