Default First Song in quite some time...

This one was done all in Reaper of course. Hope someone out there enjoys! It is also the first song I have completed with my new recording setup (using an actual guitar amp instead of going direct).

All the best to you all!

Loved it and well mixed to my ears. especially your vocals.

One thing, that first chord seems to have gaps and not gaps - like midi notes joined up and slightly not joined up so attack is lost and not lost at times.

Can I ask, the beginning vocals what FX are you using to get that sort of small space?

Cool tune! Acoustic guitars sound great! Mind if I ask what guitar(s) and what mic's used for that?

My only nit is that the vocals are very quiet and unintelligible. I have to struggle to make out what is being said/sung. Maybe it's just a matter of bringing them up a bit in the mix?

Other than that, I like the song. Good job!

Great stuff. Really enjoyed it.

Minor nag: Do something about the Bandcamp page so I can read the lyrics.

This is F*king GREAT!!!!!!!
in other words, I kinda liked it
BUT...
The vocals is unclear, mix wise. Too much lows, too less highs?

The lyric font on the page could be brighter

I like it. Good song, and insteresting instrumentation.

I couldn't understand why people were saying the vocals were unclear, because they were very clear to me at the beginning. However later on it sounded like some of the high frequencies in the other instruments were masking them slightly.
