groovy fun rock tune, "World's goin' Down"

[GONZO-X]

playing around with some slide guitar and acoustic rhythms blended.
kinda fun tune to jam with.

very cool...wide mix! Nice separation in the stereo field, my speakers I'm currently listening on are about 6ft apart, and I can hear all kinds of details coming out of both which I really dig , not the same genre of music, but reminds me of classic Yes mixes from the 70's ala close to the edge. Short and sweet song, great as always!

Cool - heavy kick - you are kinda like a version of Joe Walsh who took acid instead of alcohol - BTW Can you play these songs live? Not meaning you can't play but I wonder how the arrangement translates.

Snare is quite prominent on my speakers, got a retro kind of rattle to it. Vocal is great. Cool tune

hey papanate, thanks for listening...
joe walsh, acid. heh, we'll i'm a joe fan, and i HAVE taken acid in the past, so maybe somewhere in the middle there....

i don't have a live band, per se...
i have local guys i can hook up with to do one offs,
but if i put a band together to cover my songs for a gig,
i'd have to have a 2nd guitar player.

if not, i'd just switch from rhythm to lead where it felt natural, and not worry at all about trying to match the recordings.
arrangements would be the same, but maybe a rhythm would drop out where a solo is,
or more likely, i'd just change it up with a mashup of the solo and rhythms working together.
i can do that quite easily.

HEY STRAT MONKEE
missed your post on time, sorry...
but hey, thanks a lot for listening, and commenting on the mix.
i worked hard to get that wide separation, without resorting to plugin tricks.
tho, i occassionally use something like Waves S-1 shuffler, i try not to.

thanks bulls, yea, snares are always controversial, aren't they?
i mean, sometimes you want them to stick in your eye,
and sometimes disappear out of the way.

with this one, i thought since it was mostly acoustics, and not so dense with electrics, i'd try to feature the drums a bit more.

i mean, with superior drummer 3, and about 4 add on expansion packs, i've probably got 200 snares and variety at hand.
i play with the bottom mic a lot (snare Mic) and then add in room as well.
you can tune these snares to just about any pitch, up or down from the recorded sample, so it's neat to play with that as well.

anyway, i liked that snare, but could go a hundred different ways with it.
i have to go back to the session to even see which one i used!
i changed up the kits quite a bit from song to song on the album.

Very polished, Gonzo!

thanks raymond.
i'm trying to mix for clarity, without making it so slick that it slides off the table.
with rock music, it's easy to overdo it, just cause maybe you can...
i'm trying to hold onto as much 'rock' aesthetic as i can.
