Andy:
Yes, I double tracl all the parts one by one, then i mix them down with EQ, compression, delay and reverb. I am an unabashed Brian Wilson devotee, and his style of arranging ("open harmony" - opening the distance between 4-part harmony parts) is the holy grail I seek which I have touched but not mastered (see my "Conceived in Love" - more of a Four Freshmen tribute). I think you'd be able to do wonders if you had a better recording set up to use. You have a very loving sound, very humble and creative, and the world needs that. Thanks for listening, let's keep in touch!

Andy, "Life" is beautiful. Your sparse arrangement is perfect. I am hearing all kinds of harmonic ideas when i hear it. Wow, I wish i had been there, I would have loved to layer some 4-parts aaahhs behind your beautiful falsetto. Man this is great stuff! I'm adding Life to my radio station. This is a unique melody and very cool chord changes. I really, really like your melody. Well done! Beautiful, reminds me a bit of Warmth of the Sun and Surf's Up. Very, very nice! I think you would like my song, "Hey (Heaven Knows)"...
Your fan,
Johnny

Andy, Paul Mc told me to check you out. Your voice sounds heavenly on "Mr. Wilson. I can't believe you even had the guts to tackle Good Vibrations! Wow! You do an awesome job of track bouncing to get all those sounds down to just four tracks. I do the same but I cheat because I dump my raw tracks to my PC and do digital editing by software. I am a fellow Brian disciple, and I would be delighted if you sampled a couple of my tunes.

"Mister Wilson" is very fine. Your voice is wonderful on this one. Nice backing track. Let me know the reverb settings on your vocals. I want to use those settings for some of my stuff....PMcC
Hey Andy, Really nice stuff. Beautiful falsetto. Love to hear this stuff with a hint less reverb, but maybe that's just my speakers. Melody and chords on "Life" are very nice. If you ever get the chance, check out some Malibus music - you might like some of the Pet Sounds/Smile influenced stuff. BTW, found your music because of a post you made at Johnny Procter's site - keep up the good work!
