I would do better to resist them until I can expand my library of voices.Pull the strings and stuff back in the mix a bit so they're more accents.... maybe strip them down a bit..... go for a more singer/songwriter vibe.... shorten the instrument breaks.....Now BTW I'm not saying trash this... this is really good.... keep this until you get the toys....But for now... go for a "live" sort of feel.... play to your strengths..... Thanks for the listen!!Peace, GeoThanks, Geo,That's a good idea to strip down the song into a more minimalist approach. That was how it was originally written. As it is, I've punched too many buttons in the studio. But I do like the string arrangement, just not the voices.It would be very easy to redo the song with just vocals, guitar and bass. Possibly some simple piano might work, too.A friend is a player and will be in my studio on Friday.Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestion, Wig
