I caught some backwards cymbals stuff - I liked that touch. The fake female vocal didn't bother me much. It wasn't really the center of attention. Little pitch problem at 2:47? Sort of sounded like it. Vocals are nice and clear. And they have a pleasing tone. Talking about your vocal...

I thought the lap steel parts sounded real nice. Maybe turn down the other tracks so they don't draw attention from the lap steel. And back off the reverb just a touch. But overall, I thought it sounded real nice. Heard some (probably) unwanted distortion around 1:40 - 1:45.

I think that's true. Many people like to have music playing in the background while they go on about their life - listening passively. And this piece is probably fine for that purpose.

Just commenting on the bass. Yeah the scratchy bass in the first mix didn't work. The bass in the second version was closer. It was real heavy on the low end. To me, the song calls for a little lighter sound. Maybe take away a little of that click on the kick's attack. Just a bit.

Things in general sound OK. The music, to me, didn't move enough to keep interest up. With no vocal, something needs to attract listener interest. That little 4-bar riff on the bass goes on throughout the song and never changes up. Maybe add different instruments. Have something provide a...

The song had a nice charm. The only mix comment I'd have is that the vocal is dryer than the instrument tracks. It's pretty far up front too. At 1:47 it sounds like you moved closer to the mic. Little pop at 2:00.

I like the first one better too. The tracks gel together and are more cohesive. In the second mix, when the vocal comes in, it seems more distant and disconnected to the rest of the tracks. That doesn't happen in the first mix - the singer and the band seem more connected to each other. I'm...

I hear a couple of little pops. In the intro at: :02, :05, :07, and :09. Another at 1:22. Some more in other places. But I'm not sure it's an "unnatural" sound. All the pops are coming from the right side. There is an electric guitar over there. Are they little pops coming from an amp...

I thought this was really good. Everything sounded very nice. Good performances. No nits from me.

Hey Dub. I think you had a point on frequency masking. I think the problem is small, but it's still a valid point. And keep in mind the huge amount of respect I have for your opinions when you read this. But I just think you're wrong on phase issues. First and most important - I don't hear...

@K-dub - I think I know what you're saying. The guitar is a doubled part, with the parts already panned 100% L and R. I suppose I could pull some mid-2Ks out of the guitars during the verses and it'd probably clear it up. But honestly, IMO the problem is pretty minor.

Love all the guitar sounds. Love the vocals. Levels sound great. Some excellent blues soloing. OK the lead vocal might a little "brassy." Maybe tone down the mid 2K's? Just a bit. Real good singer tho. <<second listen - I didn't get the brassy feeling. I'll leave the comment just in...

I think the limiting is causing some distortion and a bit of pumping in spots. Nice smooth vocals - good performance. I like the level balance. A bit light on the low end - just like I like it. Nice catchy tune.

I thought it sounded good. Levels are well balanced. The song moves well. Nice job.

I'll try... It's something that's overly clean. Recorded in a place with no reflections - and any added reverb is unnaturally bright. Pitch is tuned perfectly on every note. I don't know if sterile is the best word for that. I'm open to alternatives.
