perfectly good.

I tend to keep things that are almost junk on the hopes I'll use them one day. 
I found myself saying "this is a perfectly good (whatever)" a lot one day and thought I'd get a satirical song from it.


Constructive criticisms welcome.

Perfectly good  Verse1  
I know in my heart  
Theres gonna soon come a day  
I'm going to need something  
That I just threw away.  
So I'm going to keep it  
I know that I should  
Because things like these  are perfectly good  
*****************************  
verse 2  
Took a load to the dump  
and I was elated  
Some fool just threw away.  
Just what I needed.  
So I'm going to keep it  
you know that I would  
Because things like these  are perfectly good  
************************  
CH  
Well it's perfectly good.  
It's perfectly good  
Because everything here  
Is perfectly good  
It's all good  
It's all good..........  
It's perfectly good  
***********************************  
Solo

Verse 3  
And when I need it  
I know I have a spare  
It's gonna take some searching  
But I know it's here somewhere  
I know that I kept it  
I know that I would  
Cause this kind of thing  
is perfectly good

Great song. Like it. The bass needs tweaking I think. It sounds like an EQ problem to me. Its "fatiguing" which means in the 250 to 400 hz range or therabouts. If you have compressor on it, you might consider dialing it back a bit. If there is a low pass on it, then something else is occupying that space, perhaps another guitar.

Yes thanks.
I am having trouble in the translation to the MP3
The Sonar tracks sound nice and clean and present yet when it gets to the mp3 it's dialed down and muddy.

I made it from the master at 225

Hi Glen, this song is really fun to listen too.  The playing is super.  I have good separation on the right guitar and left 2nd guitar.  Voice in the center is good.  I think the drums and bass were not bussed to the master!  I hear the reverb of the drums but not enough source.  Maybe check that and see where the bass is going also.  With those two things fixed, this will smoke!

I also really like your picture.

Thanks Lynn, I think you are right about the backer trax. Over compressed, and the lead I have overdone the presence  which is the opposite of what I had before due to too much reverb and delay. 
This mix I double tracked to get clarity and width but agree I have over compensated and need to find a middle course. Thanks again. Rimshot, thanks, It's a shot of me in an 11 pc funk band a couple of years ago.

Thanks RS
I'm going thru your great Soundclick list. 
Really solid R & B and blues rock. 
Did you do the engineering on these?
You'd fit right in with the Legendary Blues Cruise gigs.

thanks to all for the comments.
I remixed.

Thanks, it reminds me I have to work on getting my drums more out front.
I may be suffering from drumitus due to playing too near the drums in my last band.
He always "forgot" his shields and in a 12 pc band, there isn't much stage room.

This song Rocks!  Excellent performance.  If I had to nit about the mix.  The vocals are sitting a smidge forward.  All in all great piece, KUDOS!
