Featuring :D

For me, the lead vox are a little soft, and need a little body in the low end, and the kick is a bit fat. Just a little. I'm glad you're using a live drummer, it really livens up your sound a lot. The harmony part going down the left is the teeniest bit big, it sticks out a little in the mix. Fun track!
 
Here lately I have been complaining about the highs. On this one, it seems pretty dead in the upper regions. I wouldn't touch the vocals until you get the EQ worked out. I can't actuality say but the mids to the highs are pushed to low. I would bring them up and then check the vocals again. I thought the vocals were low too, but I don't think it is a volume issue.

Yep. I completely agree. Vocals need to be dealt with after bringing up the overheads on the drums. Guitars seem dark and uncontrolled as well. The mix needs life man. Sounds quite centered. Only one OH mic?

Dig the song tho. :)
 
Something wrong with the groove on this one. It's like, it wants to be a 6/8 shuffle, but it's also trying to be a straight 4/4, which causes an un-comfortable tension. I don't know if it's just the drums (which I find too busy at times), or the whole band, but something makes it sound as if the band is still getting to know the song and is still not comfortable with the feel.
 
Always get very helpful responses so thanks to everyone who listened and posted. We're going to revisit all the things you guys mentioned - after a day of ear rest and reading the comments this needs more work..... :D:D:D:D
 
Like the tune overall. Good balance arrangement-wise. And nice to see Jason still providing the beat.

I agree with the comments about the highs coming up. It's a global adjustment, if you're doing any kind of finalizing or "mastering" I think a small tweak at that stage would do the trick. I also like the notion of bringing the overheads up a bit. You'll have to balance that with the snare.

You keep poppin out these great little catchy blues/classic rock tunes. You're like a machine. :D
 
The 1st 5 bars that have the bass riff seem to not quite merge with the drums - there's a little hiccough or something - it doesn't appear in the rest of the song & thath may be because the lead lines playing over it make the picture whole.
GREAT bass sound.
I like the song and mix - if it's still dark I like that too.
Ido your voice seems to have chnaged a little since your last song. Sounds terrific just a little different or it may be time & my ears.
Nice playing PI - you've become an integral part of the sound.
 
Thanks Ray - we're reworking a few parts and remixing but been busy with Thanksgiving. I've got the guitars and vocals where I want them now and I'm just waiting on Mike to work on some bass and remix. Should have something tomorrow...
 
I agree with Rami. The song doesn't quite settle into a groove, it's kinda jumpy. I'll listen again when you post up version 2
