Not sure what version I heard, but this is a great sounding mix to me. Wouldn't change a thing. More importantly, the song made me feel... good. Any music that makes me feel anything and moves me in any way is ace in my book. Well done.

Perfect way to embarrass her at her wedding one day years and years from now :) Nice one. Brought a much needed smile to my day.

Awesome job. I used to cover this song many years ago and I can attest to it being a little more difficult than it sounds to keep the intensity super tight from start to finish (not so much on the guitar, but certainly so on the bass and drums). You guys nailed this. Very impressed with the...

Awesome riffs. Great canvas for some killer vocals. Looking forward to hearing where this goes.

You've got a hell of a voice there man. Wow.

Bright summer's day indeed. I totally got that vibe. I like the middle section and how the solo ended off. I think it works. As a matter of fact, I really appreciate this whole arrangement and mix. I felt that it was interesting from start to finish and I like how different elements sneak up on...

Really good all around. Something that really strikes me is the sense of space you have here. I'm really getting a feeling like the music is in the room with me rather than simply listening to it coming out of my speakers. What techniques did you use to develop the sense of space here? Pretty...

I could imagine this all over college and modern rock radio. The vocal melodies are memorable and catchy, as is the vocal delivery and the groove of the song overall. Sounds like accomplished writing and great collaboration to me. Top marks guys, this is great. This could easily be a hit song...

I hate you because you wrote this, recorded it and posted it in a day. It takes me months to finish a song. The guitar work is great. Excellent groove in the rhythms and the lead work is understated and tasteful. I guess I am jealous for a second time here. The cymbals on the drums are a bit...

This is a really well written tune. Arrangement is everything to me and I think this is great. Keeps interest from start to finish. Really great sounding guitars. Vocals are really excellent too. I think you are selling yourself short if you think you're not a singer. My only real constructive...

Very good mix and the song had me grinning from ear to ear. Favourite line = "they made of mattress foam" lmao I have a Yammy Bass and I'll put it up against any P-Bass, Jazz or Rick I've ever personally tried. Take that high-end guys.

I'd say you are doing quite well as a beginner behind the kit! I am starting to learn now myself. It is challenging to develop good timing. I'm all over the place. You are doing a great job of it. Keep it up! Lots of really tasty guitar licks in here. I really like the way you play. Nothing to...

Listened to mix 2. Nobody else mentioned this so either I am wrong in my perception (very possible) or I am just sensitive to it (also possible), however I think I am getting a very slight bit of a pumpy sensation on the drums (or mix bus). It sounds to me like it is rhythmically correct in...

Cool track. Summertime on the Pacific Coast vibes. Are you dropping the volume of the acoustic on the left after the intro when everything else comes in? I get a sudden sense that the ringing chords drop there but my ears want them to be there. Is that a mix/arrangement move on purpose? There...

Thanks VHS. Any thoughts on taking it in a more aggressive direction without reworking the arrangement? No more recording will be done for this puppy. That part of this recording/mixing session is in the can, as we say. I don't think that is something I can change with mix moves. The song...

AIC. I'll take that :). We certainly don't have any 'conscious' influences, in that we don't try to emulate anyone of course, but I certainly liked them and listened to them quite a bit back in the day. Sam did as well, I think. I'm a firm believer in wearing all your influences on your sleve...

Okay, I think I'm clear on where you're going with this. Vocals will get a round of section by section automation. I think that maybe the growl of the guitars you are talking about and the meat that rayc is talking about are likely the same thing. I'm not sure what to do there to get it meatier...

Heh, I must be hyposensitive, because I can't identify any hits that feel off to me :(. Sorry man, I am totally picking up what you are laying down here but I guess the hits that are sounding off to ya are okay to me or something? I dunno. If I pick up on it and it bugs me, I will certainly do...

Thanks so much for the listen and the great feedback. I like these kinds of high level thoughts just as much as the detailed ones. Open to interpretation, but all aspects of music are, aren't they? It might be worth noting my general feeling on mixing. I don't like much in terms of "modern...

Kind words, thank you! Reaffirmation of what rayc is pointing out is great. I will work on those things. I feel like the "mud issue" is not extreme, but rather requires pretty subtle moves to "get there". Does that sound right to you or are you hearing the need for some drastic moves? On the...
