Thanks Christian. All good feedback. I'm
A sponge so I'll try and soak up as much as I can.
Some songs do require a little extra guitard'ing, new
Term I think. I've never been a lead player so all
Of the lead / solos except for Say what you want, are me.
Karma's a bitch needs a wild drop d chicken picking
Solo that a friend never got around to doing.

I think each one is an improvement on the last.
I love this whole process.
So so addicted!

Teeheehee.

This is actually one sound that jumped out at me. The stereo delay stuff that's going on is helping make it unintelligible. What Dennis is going for is cool, but that is one part where hearing the words is paramount, and any effect that makes it lost is missing the point IMO. Trying to "stereo" that voice is going to lose what just band limiting 300-3K and crushing it with compression would do just nicely. It can definitely be ramped up in level at that point and not interfere with the rest of the mix.

Like Christian, I'm assuming "telephone" voice.

Yes exactly the telephone voice thing as it's about
Call centers. Christian, actually glad that you found
That dark, because when I write the song I was
Ready to torch the place. Lol
I found the phone effect actually helped intensify
The feeling or tone of what I was saying, but yes
It may have been over done to the point of not being
Discernable. I may redo the track again from the ground up.
I'm feeling more confident now than when I started.
It may turn out better or the same, but I'll learn.

I have 3 other songs I the works now. So as I have time
I'll piece them together.

I have a question about getting a good thick round
Bass tone that I'll pose to a new thread tomorrow.

Thanks for offering info a you can.
