Description : Still trying to improve my mastering/mixing skills. With this one, I played with ukulele first and added tambourine later. Then the audacity file crapped out and I'm left with this with no way to edit. Fun times.

If you have time take a listen and give spearcarrier some feedback.
hi i listened to this last week, something must of distracted me because i never commented. your voice is really sweet and sits side by side with the uke (love the sound of that instrument) i agree in principal with most what is said, you state your trying to improve your engineering and mastering skills aren't we all :)
Manuela hits the nail on the head. if you make it studio or too studio it will take all away from the original and unique sound its almost live like raw and gritty. being a songwriter myself im impressed with your story telling, good content, well written lady.
i have learnt most of what i do now practising and being daring, loads of help feedback and critique too from our colleagues here in featured.
the second vocal doing a chorus would be good, maybe a male add a deeper accent or have a couple of lines repeated your voice just EQ different. just dont over engineer it as it will take away the charm spearcarrier. keep writing comics but keep writing songs too
Hello, this is the first time I have the pleasure of hearing you! it's really a pleasure! The freshness that you convey with your singing, plus the live ukelele and the added tamborine are simply fun to listen to. I agree with “Danke” too. An additional supporting background voice, perhaps deviating in the third, in a few places would also be good for the song. But before you change anything, think about what you want to achieve. Do you want to leave this kind of unplugged character or the refreshing live character and move more into the studio world? If you don't want that, then I wish you would leave this song as it is now. Because he is good the way he is, apart from a few little things. Maybe, as already mentioned, a second voice in the background and maybe a few gentle reverb effects that broaden the song's sound a bit. If you want to move into studio production, then you have to structure the song completely differently.
I definitely like the song a lot!
Kind regards, Manuela

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am interested in hearing more about moving into studio production for the sake of expanding my meager skills. When I re-record, I hope to also take the other suggestions. This will make the project fun!
I've listened to your music before and enjoyed it, as I did this one. Too bad you can't really edit or play with this some more. But it is very good as it is. Natural and real and you spin a good tale. I'd agree with Danke in that some additional vocal would sound good and fill it out a little.

Hey there! Long time no see!
I'm pondering simply re-recording. I got a new microphone - a Scarlet Studio. I've been recording with Blue Yeti and this one was recorded with a Snowball. Now I have the Scarlett, although I feel like it makes my voice reedy and thin.
You know that the first time I listen to it, I already have ideas about how I could expand on it. But as it is, it's a wonderful original ... an organic, natural song with a story... something I could never do. I wish I was blessed with poetic talent too... well, yeah, I'll have to live with just being a dance band musician. I love the sound of your voice and look forward to every opportunity to play with it... ;o)

Okay, so when we get through the one I'm dying to see what you want to do with this one. I like it. It's fun to play. You always seem to make things better.
I like the song very much, I don't mind the tambourine in it but it needs to be consistent. Second Vocal, hmmn, maybe listen to some old Ten thousand Maniacs for some references. I'll get back to yah! Well Done
Heeeey!
This one is really fun!!!
Your voice and that ukulule play are fantastic but on my humble opinion, you should delete that tambourine ... instead of that you better use a second vocal (background) ...
The song is too good and very uplifting which is rare nowadays ...
thanx for the upload,
greetings,
Dank

Description : What happens when a short but hypnotic celtic intro turns into something completely different? The most noteworthy collaborator on this track (yeah you guessed, it's Tumbleweed) answered correctly to this question! A newly patented musical genre is what happens...yes..."SlovenianCelticCowboyMusic" is born. Sometimes we just have to cut off from being too serious...The version presented here has been carefully chosen from 4856 or so mixes...
As always all thanks to my dear friend Ed who makes such wonders possible to happen.....

Electric guitars by me, every other samples are from the site only. Applied loops :

Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.

Description : I wanted to do something different like i do normaly. And I think that I was successful.
A -drum ´n chill folk song-. A kind of hippie music in colorful garb of the modern era.
At the end of the track there is a bonus.
Something in the way of bonfire music.

Description : Wrote it on a relaxing Sunday morning. Acoustic guitar rhythm with an acoustic lead, bass and guiro. Updated: removed some percussion, remixed and mastered.
Description : I had the idea that this lyric could be rapped over my track but not having the skills to do that repurposed Joni's masterful voice - It seems a little jarring at first but I kind of like how it fits as it goes along - My multitracked classical guitar and my constructed beat from various vst kits and 'you know who ' sampled vocal (cut up just a little). Not sure about genre
Feedback welcome
