This is my first post. Despite the title, this is an up-beat southern gospel style song smile. https://soundcloud.com/paul-ferguson-996178820/one-foot-in-the-grave-demo-1 Everything on it is BIAB except the vocal done on my BR800. for the vocal, I reduced the reverb, then used the soft compression mastering algorithm. any constructive advice would be appreciated.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum.

This is an excellent first post!

A great track with an easy rolling feel to it. It's got a sort of live feel to it as well, as though I was watching a performance on the old Johnny Cash TV Show. Nice backing, super vocal style.

Yeah, loved everything about it and wouldn't change a thing.

Cheers, ROG.

Thanks for your compliments on the song. As for Summer chaser, the song has been really well executed. A very nice balance between rock/ballad and blues feel. Have you pitched it to anyone or is it more of a "My song"?

Nice sounding track. The vocals are nice and clear too. I like the upbeat bouncy feel to the tune. Very uplifting.
