Hi Ricky,

I listened to your tracks. I've got quite a few pro friends, some in Nashville, Branson and those that play Vegas etc. If it's opinions you're looking for, the forum will give you quite a variety. From my perspective.

If these are BIAB tracks, you are not going to get any better tracks unless you are willing to pay for the pro demo's. If you are looking for song feedback, try getting a few to Craig Bickhardt for some honest feedback that is if he can find the time to listen.

Vocals are great. As was mentioned before, it's the production level that is missing. A good producer can work wonders. As you already know, pros usually get paid for what they do, there is a reason for that. Finding the dynamic mix requires a good engineer and producer. Get that end covered, and you are making headway.

I write for enjoyment, and play for fun and not much money. If wanted to take it to a serious level, I'd have to pay out the bucks, just like you will. Hopefully you will find someone who will do some piano or guitar work for you, there are some very talented people here. You might want to contact Rharv and see about getting him to remix and master a couple of tunes for you and see if you find what is missing. If he gets you closer, you are on the right track. If so then plunk down the money and go for it. I like your stuff.

Rob
