Thanks for the listen. Glad you liked my playin'. I'm really just a hack!
Life is never-ending series of changes, ain't it!

Those harmonics were a bitch to nail, especially on this cheapo Yammie 12!
My hearing is a bit rolled-off on top due to 30+ years of loud noise, so I seem to over-compensate sometimes. I think my poorly treated room doesn't help either. Need to do something about that....
That jump in level when the band kicks in is intentional.
Maybe a bit overdone, eh? I try to make my mixes very dynamic so I have something to work with when mastering. This is the straight mix from ProTools, no 2 bus compression or EQ. Just the dither plug and conversion from 24 down to 16bit AIFF, then encoded with iTunes.
Thanks for the ears!

Thanks for the compliments! Means a lot coming from you!
The samples in the Technics are pretty decent, but for some reason it didn't gel with the mix well. Maybe due to 2 extra stages of conversion (it was recorded direct through analog). Can't do much with it now.
The original demo my drummer did had a crazy solo during that outro low in the mix, and panned a bit to one side. Maybe I'll add that in, if i can pull it off. He's actually a pretty damn good guitarist too!
I've posted a couple tunes here before, but this is my first in my new digs, with me playing all the stringed instruments and singing lead.
Thanks again for the tips!

Seems to be a pattern developing here. Muddy mix!
Can't claim credit for the writing, only the guitars/vocals and recording (the weak parts)
Thanks for the listen.!
