Great sound, perfect mix, complex and unique harmonic development, awesome vocals...I really like this track! I know it's subjective but I wonder what it would sound like with the kick drum volume turned up more... _________________ Ralph Zeuner

Hey thanks Ralph. I completely agree with you about the kick... I might have to ride the fader a bit on that one. There's times where it's just right, and then it's not... I'll see what I can do. It might not even need volume as much as it needs a little more 'punch'. |

Yes, maybe just EQ up the bottom-end. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

I agree with Ralph- beautiful song. I do think the kick needs to come up a good bit more, not just on the bottom end, and the solo guitar could come down just a little bit. _________________ Win7 RC, Core 2 Quad Q6600, Sonar 8, Superior 2 |

| I agree with both of you... Should be a pretty easy fix. I'll see if I can get it done tonight after the Bruins game of course. I'll let you know when I update the mix. |

I would echo that it's a great song, but that the bottom end (bass and kick) should come up. Cut some bottom from the guitars to make room. And try to get more "air" into the rhythm guitars (like Andy Summers' Tele, if that makes sense). The guitar distortion is a bit too much "fuzz" rather than "crunch". So the crescendos (when the guitars are full-out, e.g. around 1:45) seem to make the whole track sound distorted. This might be an artifact of the MP3 conversion. In a couple of spots, the guitars fight the lead vocals (although that's fine at the end of the song). You could use a bit of EQ or vocal-side-chained compression on the guitars. This should also give the background vocals some room to soar. _________________ Dealer for AccuGroove, Acoustic Image, BassLab, Eminence, Muse Receptor, MIDIjet, Rayzoon, and more...

| Pretty good. Voice reminds me a little of later period Geddy Lee. |

Hey, I'm intrigued because of the reviews and I see that the link is dead.
Do you have it up anywhere else? |
