Well performed and yet again exquisite vocals. I understand what other folks have said about it being a tad heavy on the reverb and I would agree if you are trying to completely emulate the original. If so maybe back it of a tad but in the end of the day I liked it anyway.
Are you running the finished track through different speakers/headphones ? I find when I am rendering to get a balance that appeals to the wider audience, I have to master several times, adjusting to get a uniform sound. My headphones will sound rich and full but my PC speakers then come over vocally biased and Youtube on my phone a little thin and trebly. Tweak wash rinse repeat.
Not sure what you listen to the final cut on but worth comparing a couple of sources. But heck you may have done that anyway. Shoot who cares, sounded good to me !
Thank you Gordon,
Glad you enjoyed it.
What do you know? You know what sounds good to you. So I am taking on board all the great feedback I am getting so I can do even better productions.
Cheers
David I really appreciate your words of wisdom.
I agree a full set of song after song with the fx I used would be tiresome to those listening. When I have performed in the past pre the big C, I tend to do exactly as you suggested to keep the acoustic sound more natural. When I am recording I am more prone to add stuff. It’s the engineer in me…can’t stop fiddling
Thank also for you kind words re the performance.
Cheers
Thank you Toby,
Really appreciate the encouragement and your comments.
You asked…
“Are you running the finished track through different speakers/headphones ?”
Yes I am. I listen through my headphones initially, mix, then my EarPods, mix again, then iPad Pro speakers, then maybe tweek. They are all so different as you know.

Thank you Bob,
It us a style of playing I am using more and more now that I have improved.
I like the feel of it (finger pick, strum) as I play.
Cheers
Thank you Sandy,
The setup I am using is not too complicated.
I am not using a DAW but a combination of “outboard” effects from my acoustic amp and pedals, with an App on my iPad Pro called “Impact” developed by Focusrite. Very easy to use with a scarlet 2i2.
Cheers
Really good Ron, you’re highly skilled. I think David asked about if you play live? I’m super curious about that as well. I think you said you’re NSW? I reckon you’d get quite a crowd busking/performing at a market.
