Thanks for commenting. I often review my work in the light of people's
observations.
Currently about half the listeners have said the backing should be louder - the
other half say it's just right {shrug}.
There are two different reverbs working on this. The vocal track came with
reverb already present, and no de-essing. It was however remarkably clean,
especially considering it was a single straight run.
On Yoshimi, I used a reverb that I felt was compatible - a variation on
'Cathedral 1'.
The pad for the first verse is called 'Rushes', which is fairly descriptive. In
the last verse, along with the softly padding drum there is sometimes a shaker.
It is fairly quiet, and in fact on cheap systems is all but inaudible. I wonder
if that is the 'hiss' you are hearing.
Thanks for listening, and I'm glad you enjoyed our work.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
