Your vocals always shine, can you share a bit of your technique?

Thanks, moto! When you ask about vocal "technique" I'm not sure about what that might refer to - the technique of singing into a microphone? or the technique of processing the vocals (or the addition of harmonies and how they are processed and mixed in).

Sounds like a classic country song to me. You've managed to meld Glenn Frey and Mickey Gilley into this. Your usual polished mix with great vocals. Nice and easy listen!


Appreciate that, Bawb....

I particularly enjoyed your vocals and also the harmonies - do you do these yourself?

I recognize the harmony notes from some of your other songs.

Lead break is tasty and I also like the way you drop some of the backing instruments at 3:12.

Best Regards

Thanks, Nigel. The harmonies are a mix of sung and generated. I sang two of the high harmony tracks (thirds). The low harmony is generated using the harmony function in RealBand (the only thing I ever use RB for). The older version - Realband 2020...the Realband 2021 dropped the TC Helicon plugin for something else. I still need to test that more thoroughly. My first attempt, I liked the older version better. This song also includes a generated high harmony, too (I don't usually use those). They can get a bit robotic sounding. I made the mistake (on this one) of adding a Nectar preset. That amplifies that robotic sound. I don't usually add any processing to the generated harmonies, but I remixed this quickly before I posted it and while adding the Nectar (to my sung harmonies) I also included it on the generated ones....
