Voodoo - JohnSmokey

Description : Genre Americana

A note of jazz and blues here. I think its a big one, but I think all my songs are big ones. Lol

You might need to read along with the lyrics, not sure how great this mix is. Maybe its good, I think I'm too close to it.

I turned up the vocals on the chours. So it should sound clearer now.

If you have time take a listen and give JohnSmokey some feedback.

Amazing sax, great song!
Btw what I learned from Manuela: rather than turn up the vocals, it's sometimes better to compress the instruments and sidechain them to the vocals. This creates more space for the vocals.
Merry Christmas my friend!

I always use compression on my vocals. But I do not have much control over the instruments, I get the instrumental in full form I could buy track outs... But I dont have that kind of cash on hand.

This is very classy - classic soulful blues with your own twist- the lyric is great, the vocal performance is spot on and the production sound is excellent.

Thank you, Paul. Really, I treat looperman like an open mic, there's not too many places like it on the internet. Just a common crowd, almost like a small twitter circle. Or a group at a local bar or something, where we've all gotten to know each others work. I always try to bring a surprise.

Now all I need is some good ideas for tracks and more practice on my Mix/Mastering game.
This track is a slow 97.5 "Chill-ish", I'm trying out my new Band :)

PEACE...

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com
