I feel exactly like that with myself.
You've got a great range on your voice. Mine thins out as I go higher than my comfort zone. I often surprise myself at how good my range is, but I lose quality when I go way up there.

On the line "Any favor you like", I think the BU vocals could be a little louder for the 'any favor you' part (but not 'like').
I"m not sure about the lo-fi part, but maybe the volume of the guitar could come up just a little there.
Oh, the OHs are panned too wide.
(just so you know its me)

RAMI,
It all works for me - impressive stuff.
I look forward to hearing the real SG.
What arey'gonnado with the Epi now?
I enjoy your cynical/sarcastic threads through lyrics.

Wouldn't want it any other way. Thanx man.
Thanx Ray. These lyrics are less my style, Not much cynicism...I actually have the word "love" in this song. I never use "love". I don't know what got into me.
I think the Epi still has its' place. In fact, I'm not sure the Gibson's humbuckers would work for this tune. The P-90's seem perfect for it. So, it still might see some recording time on future tunes.

Just re-tracked the intro guitars. Just as I suspected, the humbuckers on the Gibson just didn't have the right sound for this particular tune, so I used the Epi again. I'm actually relieved to know that the Epi might still get used once in a while.

I'm not going to critique the mix for nits. Others can do that. I still have the other version and I have listened to it several times.
I will give you my opinion on that one vs this one.....my over all big picture impression.
This one has more attitude in the vocal and has a more rock feel. The other one has a sweeter sounding bubblegum pop feel. (not in a bad way)
So there, they are both good. This one rocks that one pops.
does that make sense?

Man I listen to this and realise how far I've got to go to put a mix half as good as this together. I like the little backwards thing at 2.00. Lots of great attention to detail in the sonic landscape. Performances are top notch too, very nice tune

That's a pretty cool observation, Jimi. None of it is deliberate. Part of it is probably because, in the first version, all I had was my Strat. So all the tracks are Strat. This version, all the guitar tracks are the Epi SG. Had I waited another 2 weeks, all the tracks would have probably been with the Gibson.
Thanx a lot Jimi.

Thanx a lot, Bull.
That's a nice compliment, but you certainly don't have a long way to go. Your stuff is always very cool, very well played, and very well produced. I really appreciate that, though.
I don't mean to be ignoring everyone else's tunes. I haven't commented on anyone's song since I put this up, and I apologize for that. I haven't been around much, other than to come to this thread and read and thank people. Haven't even posted in any other forum on HR in about a week. I always listen and comment on other people's tunes, just haven't had time lately. I'll be Bach.

It seems good to me. I think it's hard deciding on the little details when you're close to having something finished. I think it's good as is. The lo-fi part is fine. It doesn't do anything to really add or take away from the song so... lol.
Holy crap. I missed this post. Sorry Phil, not ignoring you. Don't know how I didn't see this.
Thanx for the comments. All I can ask from that part is to not take away from the tune, so I'm glad it doesn't add or take away from it. I can live with that. Thanx man.

Hi there!
Very cool song, great playing - did you play all instruments and sing? Only mixing note is the crash panned L is a bit loud for my ears. Have to vote "yay" on the low-fi and reverse perc, I dig it! What amp with the epiSG?

Hi, thanx a lot.
Yes, it's all me, from conception to production.
You know, you made me take a look at my mic set up on the drums, and I can see how that left crash would be louder than the right. I have my 2 overheads equal distance from my snare. But because a snare is never right in the middle of the kit, it's making the left overhead closer to that crash than the right one is to the other crash. I'll have to find a solution for that. I might try a different overhead configuration. I used a kind of Recordeman/Glyn Johns hybrid set-up for ears and only started with a spaced pair a few months ago, so I didn't notice this yet, until you pointed it out.
Thanx a lot.

Didn't read through all the stuff, but my 2c is worth what you pay for it.
What I noticed most is the kick. You've upped your game from your standard kick to a new, boomin', in-yer-face, kick! Love it. Almost too loud in spots, but it doesn't take away from the bass or anything else, so it's right where it needs to be!
Right after the lo-fi it almost sounds like you're doing a bit of bass chording (although it sounds more like you played different notes on the lo-fi and regular and they overlapped.) It's beautiful in any case.
When you retracked did you use any reverb on the intro guitars. They just sound really naked. And then the voice kicks in just a bit wet and it sounds just a bit off (personal opinion).
All in all this is OVER THE TOP, BABY!

I just came from listening to Can't Buy a Thrill, and this sounded a really good followup. I haven't read the previous four pages. You know me better than that. Loving that mixer wizard stuff at 1.58. BVs make this one of your best.

I haven't done anything different with my kik. Maybe it just sounds more boomy in the context of this tune. But I'm glad it works.
No chording on the bass in the part you're talking about. Probably just the way the bass lines I'm playing are interacting with everything else. Again, glad it works.
I'll check out the intro again. You might be right. I know there's reverb on the guitars, but maybe not as much as there should be for the amount I have on the vocals. Or maybe there's too much on the vocals, like someone else also mentioned. I'll listen for that.
I'm at the "one week after finishing the song" phase, which means I hate the song and can't listen to it. In a couple of weeks, I might be able to listen to it again....and I might even like it. But right now, I can't get myself to listen to it.
Awesome man. Thanx a lot.
Thanx dude!!!

Background vocals aren't as clear and clean as I'm used to in your tunes. And you know I always love the bass in your songs but this time the bass doesn't have the definition that I usually hear from you. Love the reverse, et al, at 1:57! The solo seems a bit louder than it should be.
Wow, I never have that much to say about a Rami tune. They usually just blow me away. This one did as well but with a few nits.
