I think it's a race to see who downloads and comments first...

King- Astute derivation time tabling there. Wha? If I might elaborate on my comparison. Green Day started it with that kind of "I'm not a singer, I'm a punk ass kid and I don't give a shit" quality to their singing. Not to say they and all the bands that were influenced by them (blink 182...

Awesome job... I like the song, you're right in not being able to categorize it as country. It reminds me of the one ballady love song that a lot of rock bands would put on their albums in the 80's (not a slant!!!). The one general compaint I have is the reverb, it's kind of tinny. But then...

I'm confused... which song should I be listening to? I'm listening to "Ride". It's a cool tune but I don't want to comment too much if it's not the song you want us to listen to. Jon

Really clean recording... great sound overall. You obviously know your way around your recording gear. I agree that the off beat rhythms in the chorus are a little weird, although I like it on the break down part towards the end. Maybe you could save it for that part and make the earlier...

Since you obviously didn't care enough to revisit your post I removed the mp3. Next time (if there is one) maybe you'll check back and see if anyone has responded.

I agree with Cyan, this is really great. The vocals could come up a db or two. I like the panning in the bg vocals. Great guitar, drum sound. Nice playing. Good use of reverb. I like the guitar and bass line through the verse. Definately, the guitar arrangement throughout the whole song is...

Another balls out tune. You're getting a really good sound, given what you're recording with. I like the song a lot. You've definately tapped into the sound of the day when it comes to teen angst rock. I try to take into consideration the equipment people are using when they submit on this board...

I'm struck by the mood of the tune. I want to compare it to the Beatles and Kate Bush (strange coupling I know). The writing is very intimate and honest, doesn't sound like you had any preconcieved notions about how this should sound, you just went for what came to you. That's a sign of...

Muzeman- Thanks for the compliments, I was beginning to wonder. By the way, saying anything I do is reminiscent even in the slightest of Steve Miller makes me grin big. Thanks... Fender- The guy who wrote the song said to me last night, "I thought you knew I was ripping "Rock and Roll All...

TripleM- Thanks for your persistence. As I said in an above post, my singing isn't my strong suit, I know it's not an excuse to keep trying, and I will. The original version of the song had no keyboards so I thought I would do a different take on the arrangement- it's a little out there I agree...

Hey Theron, I like the visual of the scared singer hiding backstage, that's me in a nutshell. Due to all the advice, I think I'll give the vocals another try, without the phone eq. I like the idea of supporting the outro vocals with something else, I wish I had more tracks! Maybe I can find a...

Thanks for checking it out everyone! synergy and lt bob - My lead vocals are the bane of my existance, especially in this context where a rock singer is needed (you should hear the guy who wrote it!). Hence, they're buried, and futzed (phone eq'd). I tried and tried to pull it off with a...

On no... Well, I edited my original post, so hopefully that won't happen... But, it might be too late. Jon

I hope it's not too late to post an opinion. I think this an awesome job. If you were recording in a professional studio there are things that would be a little better but since you're doing this in a much different enviroment I can't complain. You have great mix instincts. The guitars and bass...

Okay let me have it... A friend of mine wrote this song awhile back and I've always loved it. This is my take on it... http://members.tripod.com/jontitle/index.htm Look for "Dream Highway" Thanks Jon

Good time rock and roll country feel, I like it. Great playing and vocals. I agree with Theron's suggestions regarding the stereo spread. I have the same problem due to the way I'm forced to record. I have to print mono reverbs to mono tracks and the result is a kind of disconnection with the...

Hey Clay, I'm always eager to hear your new stuff and this one doesn't dissapoint. The melody and structure are great, and your voice is wonderful as usual. The mix is good in terms of placement, but I'm getting kind of a swishy overly verby sound with the backing tracks, mostly the keys. The...

B. Sabbath: Thanks for the input... due to the responses I've gotten the electric guitar rhythm part will have to go. It was done kind of half assed and I guess I didn't get away with it :) I might just add another acoustic part on the right to balance out the mix. As far as the vocals go, I...

Awesome! I really like the sound design elements, very musical. The mix is great, the sounds are perfectly placed, nice use of different reverbs, killer playing. It's very tasteful, whatever "it" is you've got it. Rush meets Gary Numan meets David Lynch. This one goes in my keeper folder! Jon
