What a lovely song. I wish I could get my mixing right like that...whenever I sing to my music it always sound so harsh or like I am singing karaoke...it is so frustrating...it seems like no one can be bothered to explain simply in layman's terms how to mix a vocal - or what settings to use. I have a sound booth and I am using a condenser mic - I just don't get it ....I have so many gospel songs that I have written but can't do anything with as I can't record them correctly.
Wishing you all the best with your beautiful music.
God Bless You

Judy Richmond.
Why not post one of your recordings so the forum can help.
Mixing is a learning curve. What program do you mix on now? Does it have an EQ facility?

Wonderful song and arrangement, especially the things YOU did (vocals and strings) make this song great.
In terms of mixing, your vocals sing behind the band (in terms of space, not timing), a little less reverb would make them play on the same stage.

Judy...thanks for your gracious comments...I would say as Vic did, that you should post a song on the forum that concerns you about your vocal mix and ask for comments and opinions on how to improve/fix the concerns you have...there are some great people who are very well versed in such things and could explain them for you in layman's terms...I'm one of them and would be happy to help...Dan

Really beautiful stuff, the way you used reverb on your voice made it sound a bit like Glenn Yarbrough to me. It was a lot of reverb but I didn't mind it. Nice lyrics by your friend, they fit the meter of the song really well. Terrific work!

Dan, this is a very good song. There are a lot of lines in there that are so good. I don't which of you came up with "Too many years I’ve wasted and I’m the one to blame. I stumbled and I fell out of grace and into shame." Man, that just reaches out and grabs you. It's a great paraphrase of the prodigal son. A story told so long ago, but the way it's presented here, you can see it taking place in present times so clearly. I liked all aspects of the production.

This is a lovely song and your vocal is particularly powerful.
The addition of your strings and cello fit well with the RT choices.
As always you have a good arrangement and mix too.
Enjoyed it,

Dan,
I love this song and the message of course! Anyone listening to this should really feel the love of God in it! Your work with the strings really caught might attention! They are crafted in such a professional way! The vocals are as good as it gets!
Thanks, Torrey
