First of all... I'm 
... this was Chris singing? Sounded like Joe.
Sounds very "disco smile EQ"... hats sound grainy (on this setup, anyway)... strange since the other cymbals sound great... kick & bass both need definition...
Overall, this seems to need the VOXVENDOR production to it (multiple reverbs, overdubs, FX, thousands of backup vocals 
)
Good song; a little too friendly sounding for my taste, but good.
BTW--"Your Life Story" is one helluva song, Joe. That belongs on every HR.com'er's hard drive, if not on the radio 
Thanks alot Participant... Much appreciated.... Yeah, thats Chris singing..........On this song, we were originally going to do the "Vox production" thing with drum machines and other fancies, but I think it was at my prodding, that we ended up going raw...
For a change I wanted to produce something rawish, that sounds close to the way it will sound when played live..
You'll still hear the Vox stuff, coming from me on my solo tunes, but for this project, it seems that Chris and I are sticking to the roots.....
It's definately a switch......
I went back to the studio today and burned the cd, and the bass is not defined enough... (I think we have to axe the room mic track on the bass)....
I'm not sure about the lyric comments.. I can hear everything pretty clearly...
But, then and again, I know the words...
The guitars are basically the headophone mix that we had for tracking.... I think that night when we stayed up late, our ears were burned and we thought they sounded good at the time...
After listening to the song extensively today.... I am pretty much of the same school of thought as everyone else.....
Thats why I love this place.... You guys pointed out alot of stuff..
As for the grainy HH... Good ear!......I heard that too... I think it was an MP3 Artifact, cause it doesn't sound like that on my 16 bit cd, I have in my car...
Keep the thoughts coming guys.. Much appreciated.. In a week or so, we should have a final (or close to it) mix to post.
