    Very well done, very rich in sound. I not big on music without vocals, so it would be cool the hear the with a great lyric as well as a vocal. But, this is great as it stands. Nice!!!

    I like this a lot. You have a depth of your mix that make me glad. Is it a Rickenbacker I see on the picture? Is that used here? The drums are damned good what is it? I think you should change the arrangement so that someone could sing to it that would be really great. You are very good with the keys. But overall the song is very nice and the harmonies are great.

    Dan,
    Very nice.  Mix was well-balanced and nicely engineered. 
    Can't find anything really missing or out-of-place.
    If the gear picture on your SoundClick site is an accurate depiction of what you're using, you're making some very pro music with fairly modest gear.  Good deal!

    Not a Rickenbacker, though I'd love to own one. It's a fairly modest Ibanez 5-string. The guitar in the pic is a very old and cheap Yamaha Pacifica. That I am replacing with a Fender Mexican Strat that is currently being rebuilt.
     
    The drums are samples from Platinum Drums in Kontakt.
     
    Thanks for your comments!

    Thanks for your comments! The pic is still accurate except that I had to get a new DAW recently, which did add some new VST's and plugins that I didn't have before. I compose almost 100% using the Triton and rack synths in the picture, plus guitar and bass. Then, I replace instruments as needed when I record the MIDI tracks as audio using better quality sounds in VST instruments. Surprisingly, I don't replace as many as you would think, but I do a lot of layering :)

    Hi Dan,

    This is great, man! The mix/production sounds great  to me and the arrangement/playing is also top-notch.

    Well done!
