great job Pete the heat!
great mix and i love this wee tune.....going onto my mp3 player for beers in the sun by the pool...your stuffs quickly becoming my summer soundtrack
Ha! You've heard this one so much already that I'm just happy you stuck with it. Thanks again for all of your help. Really very fun for me despite all the difficulties.
I'VE BEEN WAITING AND IT FINALLY CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha, sounds awesome. I really dig the drums on this song. The little double snare then cymbal hit seems to be used too much though. Also, I like the little electronic things KCearl added. Makes it somewhat radio-friendly.
Really awesome. This and the original are great in their own ways.
Thanks so much squibble. This one had to be redone. I began wanting it to sound more like the original, but just better. Instead it became whatever this is. Certainly a different thing

I agree the drums, while kind of busy at times, are a little repetitive. I'm using what are essentially loops and ran out of variations somewhere in there...
Yes, I am very happy with kc's work on this - everything I asked of him and more.
Nice song. A little repetitive melody, but nothing horrible.
I love how the whole thing goes mono and low fi at :50 and then cuts back. That was really cool.
I thought the drums sounded much wetter than the rest of the tracks. After a bit of listening I stopped noticing. But at the beginning of the song it was noticeable.
The overall mix was a little on the bright side. That's kind of the timbre with the slide guitars thought.
Didn't care of the hardpanned lead vocals. Probably not a big deal listening on a stereo or in the car. But on headphones it's a bit distracting.
edit - I liked the effects at the end. They supported the song well.
Cool. Thanks so much for your thoughts man. Your posts are always so succinct and objective. I really appreciate it.
Yes, probably much too simple, but I really struggle with melodic elements in general. On this I tried to offset the simplicity with lots of subtle variation and layering. I wish I could come up with less conventional stuff without getting all avante garde or whatever. I have a lot to learn in that area.
ANd yes, the drums are pretty roomy. I turned the room mics way down this time, but the overheads provide not only the cymbal sound I wanted, but add to the bulk of the drum sound in general. I need to figure out how to balance the two still.
That lo-fi mono filter effect is all kc - I just had to figure out where to erase all of my stuff to make it fit!
Thanks again for listening.
