Bats, sorry to keep bugging you man....but I really want to see you happy with this CD release. I did some scoping over here. This is what I see as well as what I hear.

Now, there were a few ways I dealt with making this sound "more sane to my ears on my gear". The first way was to grab 120 Hz, a Q of 3.5 and -2dB of gain.

The next, UAD precision multiband limiter at 80 Hz so that you maintain the low end you have, yet it doesn't lash out like I'm hearing.

I'm also seeing a little activity at 55 Hz which is probably the kick drum thumping. But at times it lashes out too. For example, at 1:57 when "gonna make a new friend" is sung, the kick drum hits with "gonna" and it gives off a sub low artifact that actually sounds like someone going "pff" in the mic yet it's "gonna" and the kick drum hitting at once. Curbing 55 Hz there via automation stopped that from happening. See, little stuff like that (though it may not be important to people) are things I listen for. 

I know, I'm overly anal with this stuff...but I just wanted to bring the stuff to your attention because I commented on it. When I comment on something, I like to try my best to explain what I'm hearing as well as offer a remedy for the possible issue. :) Just for the heck of it though, try some of the stuff I mentioned and see if you hear that bass clear up. Just trying to help as I know how serious you are with your music. :)

Wow! To quote BayouBill, "Hot Hot Hot" and paraphrasing the Sundance Kid, "Think you used enough guitars there, Butch?" This is GREAT!

wow danny!
that's a heck of a graphic!!
looks like some of the gnarlier peaks i've tried to climb in the wasatch range here....
LOL

good stuff to know, i can dial in the focus on those freq's, it's possible i'll need to go back to my mixes first, and tweak, then re-send to the ME.... he's basically trying not to change the basic character of my mixes as per my instructions, so if i give him turds to polish, he's trying to go easy on the luster.
hehe
thanks

I don't think you'll have to remix it, Bats. If you just grab your master and try what I said, you'll hear it's still your same mix, it just keeps things tighter. From there you can give the instructions to the ME and he'll do it. Just keep in mind though, if you are not hearing the stuff I'm mentioning, don't let that graph make you think something is wrong. Like I said, I'm the only one reporting a little bass tightening and everyone else has signed off as this being perfect...so you *might* want to go with majority rules and most of all, what your ears tell you on your gear.  Whatever you decide or don't decide, it's a fine tune and a fine mix...I just wanted to explain what I was hearing.:) I'll shut up now...best of luck with everything brother!

Wow! This Rocks right off the Bat!!
Excellent performance & mix (listening through cheap phones at work). Very Good!!

On my Senheiser HD 600's it sounds good.

Sounds good on my Alesis Point Seven's too.

Don't have the main DAW fired up right now.

thanks for listening...
appreciate it.


scoobie
mackie hr824's, check!
those (with the extended low end) were some of the types of systems i was worried about having too much bass on.....
and different volumes too, cool, thanks for that.


bapu
thanks man.... alesis point sevens, how do you like those?


master in the mix
sibilence, check. i've got a deesser on it already..... but i can't take it down anymore, without killing the essence of the vox...
but, i may address the entire high end thru the mastering on this one song, working with the ME now on final decisions on it....
thanks again!

BAPU-
cool, thanks.... those are probably more indicative of what most people would listen to anyway...
