Hey, I was giving your demo disc another listen today and thought of a few questions and some advice (I know I'm full of shit, just take this for whatever it's worth).
First question is could you list the six song titles? I want to write ID3 tags for the FLAC files I created from the disc, I just have them titled "Song #".
Is that you playing guitar on the last track? If it is you should try playing with a thinner pick, it sounds like you were playing with a really chunky plastic pick. You can hear it sort of sliding sideways across the strings after the initial attack. Try a real thin nylon pick(dunlop makes great nylon picks), if it's not you kick whoever played the guitars ass and ask them to do it again but with more feeling. This is also something I've noticed that's sort of a reoccurring about your recordings, whenever you record acoustic, at least for this type of music, you have to get rid of that chunky sounding pick attack, either EQ it out or soften it with a little reverb. If your recording electric don't let the guitarist sit anywhere near the microphone, especially if they hammer the guitar like Micah when he plays.
Last question, where the hell did you get the strings on track four? That whole track is probably the best recording you've made (and the second best song you have written behind feels right). The strings just really fill it out and make it incredible. Can we get whoever played that to come back in for a Grynch recording :)
Ciao,
-Jesse
