[Shawn Fennerty]

Hey AGF, I'm back with a demo I recorded in November 2020 and finally produced this month!

Vocal and acoustic were done in a live take, no metronome. I multitracked bass, cajon, and egg shakers over top.
Exported my stems from Cubase 8 to Studio One 6 as I switched over to the new DAW (highly recommend).
Sidechained the bass compressor to the kick on choruses for the first time, which is a cool effect and helped the groove.
I feel that mixing went really well, and mastering is where I will focus on improving for my next official release.

Let me know what you think, and I will review your tunes!
