A Salvage Job... "YOU KNOW A LOT"

Going back a few years for this one... I wrote this tune about 3 years ago after my girlfriend left me...the second time.
 
I was the co-pilot on recording this one.  My brother recorded it in Sonar 8.5 and also played bass.  The rest is me.  And I STILL don't know any singers, nor do I own AutoTune... so I have to make do with my own voice unfortunately.   LMAO  Should be good for a laugh today anyway.
 
The original mix wasn't great, and was sort of "scooped"- very boom and sizzle... so I threw it into X2 this morning, and with some ProChannel and a healthy dose of Ozone 5, this is what I came up with:

I like it... "in yer face guitars"... loud & rude...  Vocals sound fine to me... BGVs may be a little off, but work perfectly for the song... good work Tony...

I love this song and the energy it projects.  It's bright and jangly, but it fits with the mood of the song.  I wouldn't worry too much about your vocal;  it sounds good.  I'm still impressed with the song you did of the loops that came with X2.  It took me most of a day just to download that package, but I can hardly wait to get into it.

 Didn't hear the first mix but this one is coming through very well here. The guitars are up front and so are the vocals and that makes this tune IMO. I wish I could say I never met one of those kind of chicks....I can relate to the message in it too. Nice work Tom.

Very interesting song.  I guess country rock works for a description but it seems to have a lot more to it.  Can't explain what I mean but I like this song.  Hey, if we can survive those gals leaving we tend to end up with some good tunes.  I have one experience that inspired 3 songs.  The first one was Out Of Love which we posted a while ago.  I just couldn't sing that one right so.....  I have two more I want to do this year.  They're written so they just need to be recorded.  I feel your pain AND your inspiration.  The good thing is I have a great wife for the last 28 years.  I only finished one song about her and it's not really finished.  I think that's good.  Ha!!  Nice work here, buddy.

Tony - I think this is the first tune I've heard of yours - I really like this - makes me want to dance. Tune is well recorded and the playing is great.

I too have written songs about GFs (not yours, don't worry (as far as you know?))

A strong Petty vibe to me. Remember, no matter how hot she is? Somewhere, there's somebody who's tired of her "crapay..." I would mix the bass up a bit more, but I'm hearing everybody's bass too low! (I like a big, fat, round, protruding "bottom") Not too big? But there should be something there to hold on to (musically speaking) I like the guitars. 

Wow!  Nice to wake up to these compliments this morning!  Thanks so much guys, honestly.  Petty?  Derringer?  (I loved Derringer's first solo album in '73... Rock N Roll Hootchie Koo!)

Mark-  I have a couple more in the Forum... Check out "Clouds On Fire" and "Chameleon's Reflection", and let me know what ya think.

Marcus-  You won't hear my vocals very often.  I've gotten too old for singing (57) and they sucked IMO to begin with.  LOL

Warren-  Get on it buddy!  Write those tunes and put 'em out here!  28 years?  EXCELLENT my friend!

Tasty guitar licks.  Gave me a Beatles vibe.  KUDOS!

Kev

Great Job.
