Hi list!

Here is my new song: Secret <https://soundcloud.com/xaccrocheur/secret>. This morning the SoundCould announcement was retweeted by none other than Sir Stan RIDGWAY <https://twitter.com/philipyassin/status/762700853220405248>, and considering that I basically decided to become a musician while loop-listening to "Call of the West" back in 1982, there's an undeniable sense of accomplishment here, so don't kill my buzz ;)

This is the 9th song in my "Faux Frogs" album <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBvCHJWi9SXxIr3Zvv_9qygxuXv_F1pbb>, one more to go (she's been almost ready for months now)

PS - if more and more people keep telling me that the lead voice is too low, I'm going to be forced to do something about it. The problem is that this very vocal take is a bit crappy (I just don't sing it really good) and if I crank it even a notch, this will show :| PPS - Everything goes into an IR modeled Lexicon 480L (using Klangfalter) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0GNYJcL4I> and boy, I feel rich :)
PPS - My new album is almost ready, greetings from the studio!
I love this one! One of my favourites of the ones I've heard from you, and in the top few I've heard posted on the list. I don't think the vocals are too low and the vocal performance sounds good to me. I'm listening on Adam A5X though which have great vocal range. It may sound a little quieter on a car stereo or those crappy Beats headphones, but it's an artistic decision in my opinion and not a technical one. Listen to Stone Roses "Fool's Gold" to hear how this approach can work well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSD11dnphg0 or even more extreme, My Bloody Valentine's "Soon" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4-5gHR3_Kg

The Lexicon reverbs are beautiful. I fondly remember using a 224XL back in the 80s. Must get Klangfalter when I finally get my home studio back together.

Thanks
Roger
