Hey Marc, Chris, Logan,

This is great! Sounds great. That Logan guy sings the heck out of it.

I like this line:
You keep telling me you're sorry,
But I’m not seeing one tear

Hey guys:
I loved the production, and then noted one line that i thought didn't quite fit . . . "can't you find it in your heart, if you've got a heart" . . . I thought it was a slam toward the lady . . . and since he was begging to get her back, why would he suggest she had no heart? But when I took another listen, it made more sense. This guy's trying to face up to the fact that the lady's dumped him -- but hasn't quite come to the full realization.
Nicely done.
p.s. at least I pay attention to the lyrics.
Ott

Logan! Nice to hear from you about this project. Man, I am extremely impressed by your vocals, and the overall midrange sound. Very crispy! What microphone did you use on your vocals?
Thanks Ern! It's my old faithful Rode NT2-A. I use it on almost all my vox. Recently I've also started bussing my vox to a single track and adding a spoonful of T-Racks EQ for extra crispiness. ;)

Cheers,

Love that vox start. Wow. Could really feel that.

I had a chance to jump on this early this morning and waited for a few others to chime in first.

You might want to get a hold of Daughtry. He would grab this up in a minute.

On it's own, the vox is simply excellent.

Holy cow this is a big sound.

This is top notch bud.

I have a feeling this one might put you over the top.

Nice acoustic bridge and then pow.

Fantastic

Excited for yawl.

- Thanks Paul, good idea about Daughtry!
I can't thank Logan enough for gracing this song with his astonishing vocals, I'm trying my hardest to make him famous! ;)

- Thanks Dean!

- Thanks Ott, glad the lyric came together for you, I should pay more attention to lyrics.

Cool! I really like the Rode on your voice. Plus --- I'm also a fan of the T-Racks EQ in ProTools. Very easy to use. I sometimes use my Waves EQ, which is nice in its own way, but my "go-to" EQ is the T-Racks. It just "works." No bells and whistles --- just makes sense to me and sounds good!

Ern 8-) :)

Hey guys!

Wow, killa killa! Im a closet Nickelback fan, so I really dig this.
Amazed how you pour out these consistantly great productions, Marc. Damn, you've got some good chops down!

I didn't feel the vocals in general needed more volume. It's rock, so it needs to be in the pocket, unless it's just a demo, of course. I felt the intro vox was a tad too loud instead, maybe turn that down 2-3db, and the rest will sound more balanced too?

The a la Nickelback became pretty obvious fast, so I started listening for Chad Kreuger effects, and you did double some lines, but.. how bout delays and octaver? :D

Great work, guys! You've got the schhiiiiz 8-)
Ceo of my own life

Thanks Magne, I appreciate the compliment!
When you're surrounded by great musicians (yourself included), it's makes things a bit easier.
The majority of musicians/writers I work with I met right here on the TAXI forum, so ... thanks TAXI, this is a great place!

Not my genre but is easily good enough for film/tv and is knocking on the artists door.

Great Vox as usual!!!!!!
