Pull Over Honey

Sounds pretty tidy Rob.
I think the guitar that's constant on the L could use some low cut from it OR mud removal.
Not as much sibilance on this one - some but not bad at all though when all three vocals are running what is there stacks up.Are you using pop filter or windscreen on the mic? Either of those may help - OR try the pencil trick. It might be useful to lower the volume on PULL as it hits pretty hard in headphones.

Seems pretty clean. BGVox might be a touch loud.

[Ironbarkbob]

Hi Ray. Thanks for your help. I have a pop filter on the mic. You may need to explain the pencil trick the volume on pull please.
Also thanks to Steve for listening.

Rob, if you use a little blutak or a rubber band to hold a pencil on the face of the mic you sing into it breaks up "plosives" and some harsh sounds.

PULL - when you sing that at the beginning of the choruses it's quite loud compared to the rest and needs taming.

[Ironbarkbob]

Thanks Ray. Got it mate

Shan,
It's an old, old trick for dealing with plosives etc. I found the snap in an image search.
Do with it as you wish.

Huh... Interesting. Does it affect sound in other ways?

[JD01]

This sounds pretty tidy to me.
I don't think the backing vox are too loud, I think the lead might be a touch loud though.

How much of the instrumentation are you doing on this?

[Bubba]

As JD asked, are you playing anything on this?

[rayc]

Huh... Interesting. Does it affect sound in other ways?

Not unless you use a really FAT pencil and heaps of sticky tape.
It's almost sonically invisible - merely breaks up the plosives so they don't hit the diaphragm hard.

Never heard of this either, thanks for the tip Ray. Will try it for sure.

Having a listen now Bob and right away i think the BG vox could come back a little bit. Does the main verse vocal drop in the choruses? they sound like they might?

Cool song man. The little country licks are cool.

So you're saying don't wrap my mic in an entire roll of duct tape? o . O

Yes. The pencil/pen held in place with as little as possible. Tape or bands that are no where near the diaphragm.
