Like I've said before... not noticing the drum tracks is the best possible compliment. As for the vocals, I'm very torn. Most people have been giving me similar feedback. I posted a link to the songs on the Fender Discussion Page and, if I had to guage the results, they'd be overwhelmingly in favor of Kevin NOT singing anymore. He's a failry good lyricist. I don't know if I am. I'd feel a little funny singing words that I wrote. On Apr 3, 2005, at 9:55 AM, Charlie wrote:
I think the practice with Mixing/ Mastering is certainly paying dividends - the guitars mesh perfectly.
All I can say about the drums is that I didn''t notice them. I started off listening to them to see if I could pick the DB influence, but had to regularly drag myself back into concentrating on them. The were just part of the song and seemed very natural.
Excellent results.
(and FWIW, I prefer your vocals on Come Alive to the vocal on this - Other peoples MMV)
Cheers

This one approaches sonic satisfaction for me. I've been working hard to understand the subtleties of mixing and mastering. It ain't easy. This song uses the same nskit version 7 that "come alive" used. That first song, "come alive", is soon to be remixed and mastered with Kevin's vocals in place, replacing my own.
On the song called "Tillatoba", I sang the backup harmonies. It's OK, I guess. I worked hard to make sure that all the guitarparts meshed together without cancelling each other out or stepping on one another. There's seven of them. My God!
I can't describe the feeling of hearing drum tracks that convince even me that there's really a drummer playing. The tempo push is in play on this one too, but it's a much slower tempo.
