Great rock song Nate, like it very much. Nice ideas and ear catcher in it. Thanks for sharing here and thanks for mentioning the profiles you used. Well choosen to my taste, sounds really good

Just one suggestion: The lower voices / spoken text are a bit hard to understand. Those should stand out of the mix a bit more, just like the lead voices.

deadman42 I really appreciate the feedback! I actually struggled with that exact issue as I was mixing. So, went back and re-mixed it. Much more clear now.

This is why I love this forum. We can get honest and constructive comments without the snarky crap found on other forums. I feel totally comfortable putting my lo fi crap on here! Lol

Damn Nate! You got a hold of some Big Guitar Sound. The whole production sounds Huge. Well Played Sir!

Yep, that turns out much better. Well adjusted Nate.

Indeed, MuddySludge is so right with that. Actually when listening to it another two times: How many guitar tracks do we actually hear? Three? Or is there some double tracking involved on the rythm guitars?

If only three then I need to re-think what I am doing here.

And the Solo sound by the way is extremely nice. I know the profile which has rather medium gain. Turns out well.

P.S.: I didn't know that thing with Elvis. Any chance to get the address of that trailer park?

MuddySludge Thank you so much! Yes, went for the big arena rock guitar sound....lol! I also used a better compressor for drums and bass which definitely tightened up the low end. Im learning....slowly!

deadman42 I really appreciate the guitar comments. So, yes, 3 tracks. L an R hard panned and mostly playing the same part with slight changes, and different levels of gain on each, and relatively dry. The 3rd guitar is dead center and I generally play at a higher octave or using various triads to accentuate the high end. The center guitar is generally much wetter.

As for Elvis......I may have made the trailer park thing up.....Lol?

Lovely big sound on there. Great track!

Per Thank you so much! I am really digging your recent posts. So much of your music would fit perfectly in a Quentin Tarantino movie. Such a cool ambient reverby 70's feel. Love it!
