Changes by Phil Ochs although I'm singing the verse structure from the Gordon Lightfoot version.
I've employed some skullduggery. Its a multitrack recording. The ukulele playing is "live", I've just overdubbed the vocal track. No pitch or timing enhancements though so thats good.
I was really struggling to get my voice to sound good on a completely live take. People say I'm a great singer. I sound great in my own head but recording my voice is another matter. I'm having to teach myself to be a recording engineer here.
I've learn't that I MUST adjust the EQ on my voice because there is an un-natural midrange boost on most microphones that makes me sound like I can't sing in tune. I'm also employing a 4 band software compressor. The 4 band compressor did an admirable job of taming the ukulele track but its still a bit wild. Microphone placement is still a work in progress.
