Default In Love (original)

I wrote this fairly recently. It's a "hippie dippie" love song.

I'm just beginning with multi track recording. I used a bass preset for my tele for the bass, my cajon for the percussion, and my keyboard for the little piano part. There are a lot of mistakes, but I'm still learning, so...



Pointers welcome.

Like it Bob. I would bring the vocals up or the music down so your vocals dominate the mix a bit more. Keep it up.

Nice groove, brother. Got a little chorus on the guitar which gives a really mellow swing feel. I agree that your vocals are a little buried in the mix. When key solo comes in it's really bright and out front. Good job on that!

I think you are doing great! Keep it going...

Thanks everyone. I recorded everything on separate tracks, so I was able to raise just the vocals. I raised it by +6db, and it does sound better.

Thanks again,
