Sleepwalk (cover)

LOL...........very, very cool man.  I've always liked this song a lot too.  But the name didn't ring a bell, I haven't heard it in such a long time, (probably not since i've watched the Steven King movie-so several years) so it was a pleasant surprise to me.

You definitely have the guitar sound dialed in to a T. I thought everything else sounded great too.  So good that it made me chuckle when I heard it.
 
If I had to nit-pick something, and this is subjective, but i would say the snare seems a little hollow. I realize you don't want a "crackin" snare for this song, but maybe brighten it a little with some EQ, or a Transient Shaper or something.

One other thing.  Maybe i'm hearing things (wouldn't be the first time) but something seems askew at like 1:15-1:17, some where in there it sounds like another instrument is hitting a note that doesn't belong there.  But, like I said, hard to tell, it could just be me.

Anyway, yea, i'm just nit-picking, because I assume that's what you want, while your still in the mixing stage.  So aside from that, awesome job man!
 

Well done.  This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar, so it brings back pleasant memories.

Thanks so much for the feedback.  I changed the bass synth, although I may invest in a different synth.  Also tried to fix the "clam note" - I heard that also.  There was a piano note clashing with the lap steel, now it's a bit better but still some dissonance with the guitar chord.  Oh well, maybe I'll buy Melodyne.  Also added some snap to the snare.

Thanks again for the helpful suggestions!  Will continue to noodle this one.  You guys rock.

Good job on the remix.... 

also what post #7 spoke about is dead on.  When I post music, I read the reviews and opinions, and listen to what they say in context of listening to the song a second time to see if it's simply a subjective opinion or an important issue that needs addressing. If several people comment on the same issue I pay more attention to it. I also know, after hanging here a while, who I can pretty much trust to be correct on an issue and who is blowing smoke. I have determined this by listening to the music coming from these particular people and have judged their competence as a mixing & recording engineer to be top notch. 

You should do likewise. 

Listening to the advice of people who know what they are talking about will help you improve your skills in the quickest manner. It's your job to figure out who they are. 

Guys, great tips on the do's and don'ts when acting on advice.
 
Daryl, yep, that's the original Santos and Johnny influence, as I'm a huge steel guitar fan

Nice version of this. The midi sounds a little stiff to me, but that's just personal taste.

On thing that would help, in my opinion, I do this a lot, is, I would freeze the hi-hat track to a WAV, and put the PX-64 VST on it and soften the attack.

Not sure what you are using for drums. If it is Session Drummer 3 and you have set up output tracks for each drum, then you can easily isolate a track for freezing by archiving all the other drum parts you don't want to be included in the freeze. Saves a ton of time. Then 'Unarchive' them and 'Archive' the track you worked with.

Just a suggestion, that's really the only thing that stood out to me.

Bub.

I was on the road in the early 70s, near the end I was playing pedal steel about half the night.  I too love steel.
