Milk Cow Blues

[Mike Senior]

Only listening on the little PC speakers at the moment, but what you've done sounds pretty good to me overall. In particular the balance seems very nicely managed, with lots of sensible level judgements throughout the arrangement. Sounds like you've done some sensitive automation work here, but whatever it is you've done, the result just immediately sounds convincing to me. Effects seem pretty sensible too, in terms of making all the separate tracks sound like a cohesive ensemble. In terms of criticisms, the main thing that hits me is that maybe the fiddle tone feels a bit strident by comparison with the lead vocal in particular. Yes, you need some contrast between those parts to maintain some musical differentiation, but the midrangey fiddle tone you've chosen makes it feel a bit cheap to me, in relation to the sounds you've achieved for the rest of the band.

Hope that helps!
