Hey Andy and Louis,

I like how this version starts out, and my only complaint is it sounds like (Louis) you back off the mic, the line before the second chorus, and only get back up to the initial level of the first verse in the very last chorus. Because Andy's drums had kicked in, by the second chorus, the overall effect is that your voice sits back in the mix, a little too far, for my ears. This tends to make your singing sound tentative, instead of vulnerable.

So the antidote, imho, is to maintain "close micing" throughout the entire vocal, and for Andy to insure that your voice stays on top of the mix, throughout.

Louis, the vulnerability in your voice is an asset. It does sound, to me, though, like your mind wanders off, in the middle of the song, like I mention, and I am thinking/hoping that if the vocal is kept front and center, that you have a winning production here.

Mike
