OK, I just found your music web page. I will give a listen tonight.



I listened this evening. Here is what I heard. Keep in mind, just one mans opinion:

Your vocals are your strength no question about it to my ear - next are of course the lyrics. Original words are no easy task and you seem to hold you own in this area. The music accompaniment does take a back seat. Perhaps primarily because of your vocals which are pushed right up front. As a result the music tends to become much less of the focus.

So whats my point? Perhaps a better mix would improve the overall reception of the song. The music is country so the chords and arrangements are of course a function of the musical style.

Are you trying to sell your vocals, or are you trying to sell the song? I don't know how it works in the music business. I ask only because it seems to me this would be a valid question. I would think your vocals are well presented. But the band (backing tracks) do lack a certain energy when they need to. Is it BIAB? MIDI or Real Tracks? Seems to me they could be "pushed" a little more in the mix.


Wish I had more for you. I guess I would like to here these songs with a band of studio musicians, but I think I would then be lisening to them rather than you. Perhaps something in my rambling will suggest an option for you. Lets see what others my suggest.

BIAB – 2025, Reaper (current), i7-12700F Processor, 32GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM, 1TB WD Black NVMe SSD, 2TB WDC Blue SSD, 1TB WD Blue, 2 TB SK NVMe, 6 TB External, Motu Audio Express 6x6
