''Singing is just hitting the notes you planned to hit w/o flat or sharp. You can do that, so you can no longer call yourself a "non-singer". Now you can be a singer who also plays harp. Get after it boy!!!''

   --Brett

Solo_1
''tough task you took on (vox + harp) but thought you did a great job - sort of free form rhythm which is a recognized form - length and harp comp lines maybe made for a repetitive feeling - clean harp playing and bluesy vocals gave it its own feel''

''Nice one Mo. Ditto what Dave says, except I would keep the mids but narrow the EQ for them around the 900 - 1k band (this will give you a more "grunty" sound)....plus a touch of 0.2ms echo''

''I thought that the mix sounded good. The tone seemed pretty good overall to me (but I'm not expert on getting good tone yet). Maybe can use a touch more vibrato in spots?''
   --Akusta Kat

Total Makeover
''5 big ones for reminding me who got me into this stuff: SB2. Yes, a thin tone is in your chain (correctible), but you also had some nasty, dirty wa's, judicious vibrato and occasionally, a bit of that elusive SB2 timing. Can't bottle that, man.''
   --BeelzeBob

Total Makeover
''continued from below ... A slight bit of reverb to the whole mix helps make it sound like your in the same room as the band. I would be curious what others think. If this doesn't help well then; I was wrong, try something else. Your current mix isn't bad''
   --Downhome Dave

Total Makeover
''Keep in mind I never know if I'm right until I try it, but I would suggest taking some mids out of the harp. Maybe boost the bottom and just a bit up on the highs. Some reverb or delay on the harp is always nice.''

''You played some cool stuff and kept it interesting. What did you add to the recording of your harp (some kind of sim, reverb/delay etc.) someone might be able to give some suggestions. I hear a full sound that gets muffled in the processing.''
