OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,232 North Carolina	As I think I have mentioned, Floyd and I have the same old Yamaha acoustic. Mine is a 1972 and fitted with an old school Dean Markley soundhole pickup. This went direct into the board with no effects. There is a picture of it on the soundcloud file. Brent Mason is on the left, and I am on the right. No effects on any of the acoustics. Totally old school--and wood. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/ill-take-heaven-here Hope you like it.

I like the way you sort of broke the fourth wall before the final chorus. Nice instrumental build into the chorus. This feels commercial, in that it keeps focused on the chorus, and pounds it in. I'd say something about the vocal sounding a touch low in the mix, but then I remembered I tend to mix my vocals too hot, so... It's probably exactly where it needs to be. I enjoyed listening - delicious cheese! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Acoustics sound great and the vocal is sitting perfectly in the mix. Keep that hand drawn note with the song ideas, it could be worth money someday!

The flow is immaculate, and it sounds sincere and heartfelt. Also, in my eyes you utilized the percussion perfectly here. It helps accentuate the mood when it needs to and I really didn't see that coming. You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Deryk
