I posted this a couple of years ago but was never satisfied with the mix. This is a remix with a new lead vocal. Please let me know your thoughts.

Mix #1


Taco Night
Well we just got home, and everything's tight
See we made a decision about dinner tonight
We were dragging all day, but that's gonna change
Gonna get out some beef, gonna turn on the range uh huh
Ain't gonna be no Taco Bell stuff, not tonight
Everyone on the block can tell that we are doing it right
We're gonna ignite

Tacos are the dinner we have in our dreams
This stuff's is even better than it actually seems
Sometimes we eat'em in a cowboy hat
They got way too much saturated fat uh huh
Don't ever need to ask her what she can endure
We're gonna make 'em hot as a reactor, that's for sure
Baby that's the cure

CHORUS
We know... It's Taco Night tonight
We know... Everything's gonna work
Just right
It's Taco Night
We haven't done it in a week, but that's alright
Because we both know, it's Taco Night tonight

Gonna turn up the pepper, how far is too far?
Gonna drive around the block in our getaway car
Gonna load up on beef and forget about fruit
They're perfected in Texas - we're gonna follow suit uh huh
Flames coming out mouth like a cartoon
We can eat 'em soft shell hard shell maybe even with a spoon
'Till our head goes boom

CHORUS
BRIDGE
Our tacos slay, that's what we purport
But that's based on unconfirmed reports
It's not a crime it's just a tort
Oh yeah

CHORUS

Hey Trip I remember this one. I think the bass is masking the guitars to some extent. Vocals are really good.
 
I don't have any mix input other than, mixed very well. I didn't hear the bass/guitar issue. If that is an issue, it sounded intentional.

I have noticed you love quirky, do you have someone that kind of influences you? Hopefully this doesn't come off wrong, but Weird Al vibe?
 
Hey @Bulls Hit thanks. I *think* the guitars and bass are playing nicely together. But I'll take one more listen with your comment in mind.

Hi @DM60 thanks for the listen and comments. Lyrically there are a lot of people that influence me. But I think a lot of the quirkiness comes from me often trying to write about something that I've never heard before in a song. That's how you end up writing a song about "taco night" for dinner. Having said that, I like the quirkiness of They Might Be Giants. Other writers that a love... off the top of my head.... McCartney, Lennon, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Pete Townshend. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.
 
Awesome I remember this one too. I feel the lead vox could be a slight nudge up but you can still hear them well as they play with other frequencies well. Cool song

I listened initially on my monitors, and that was my first impression but listening again on earbuds I'm not hearing the masking any more.
Lesson here is take any feedback from with a couple of lbs of salt :D

Everyone is off sometimes. But your feedback is something to which I always pay attention.
 
Love the fun and joyful vibe of the song. The guitars and the drums sound really nice. Enjoyed it very much!
 
Man... It's been years since I've visited this site... The mix sounds good... If I were to nit-pick, I would say that the bass guitar is low-mid heavy. I would cut the bass at around 350HZ by as much as it needs... What a fun concept for a song! Also - I would bring the drums up just a tad... maybe 1dB. Vocals are nice and up-front. Well done! Thanks for sharing, man!
 
at :36 there is a bass sound that sounds out happens each time but first one is way jump outish. Vocals sound good Song is fun!!! The ride definition is good during the bridge nice ping. Catchy as usual triple!
