Santa Bring More Beer - Xmas Tune

[Robertt8]

*Updated Tune*

Hey guys,

Our band (Bag of Toys) finally got a chance to record and mix our (2 year old) song "Santa Bring More Beer" and I was hoping I could get some fresh ears to check it out and make any mixing suggestions such as...levels, panning, EQ, compression...all that stuff.

Newest Version:

Older Version:

If anyone cares, this was essentially all recorded with a few mics (MXL V67G (vocals), Mojave MA-200 (drum overhead & percussion overdubs), Shure KS(drum overhead), Shure 57 (snare), Shure Beta 52a (on bass drum). The bass was DI through Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver. Everything was running through my Presonus Firebox into my iMac running Cubase 4LE.

oh yea, first one! I really like the tune, very funny, sad, and true! It sounds very well recorded to me. At times, it seemed like the drums or vocals got too loud. I'm not sure if it's a level or compression thing or if I just prefer more room sound, ambiance, or dare I say: reverb I guess I like to feel like I'm listening to the band on stage, with a few empty bottles and smoke between me and them, and not like they're in my living room checkin' out my wife!
Great tune!

Thanks for checking it out!

I've recently remixed (and re-recorded) much of this. If you get a chance, check it out and let me know what you think of the newest version.

I promise not to check out your wife!
