    It's a GREAT song...

    Need to edit out or noise gate the buzz/clicks in the beginning...but 
    sounds good...

    This is a very good song and production.  The arrangement and performances were well done and makes me want to listen again.  The vocals are outstanding.  Bravo.

    All the best,

    DD- cool vocal vibe on this track.  I really thought the vocals on the chorus were strong. 

    I agree with CCLarry on the noise/buzzes in the beginning.  I know when I've used the pod in the past, I would get similar buzzes when recording with my USB cable connected.  If you are recording your POD via USB, obviously you can't disconnect it. 

    At first listen, the high hat on those drums was blowing out the mix in my hears. The hihat during the verse is an example where it's just really loud to me. Overall, it sounds like there are few moments where the overall track volume fluctuates, almost like compresssor pumping going on.  I think another pass at the working on the individual instrument levels might resolve that.  Overall, nice job! :)

    Terrific pop number.  Good performances and arrangement.  I think this one has a good commercial feel to it.

    Very cool song!

    The mix sounds a little too compressed to me. Other than that, this is really quite nice!

    Well done!

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Thanks everyone for the response. Yes, I do need another run at each individual instrument and I'll take care of the pops and buzzes. Appreciate all the feedback. DD

    Commercially sounding, great pop track (love when I see the word "pop" on these forums, not enough of it )


    Hats were a tad loud.


    Unusual solo but cool.


    Great job all round.

    Liked it on the whole - I think the hook would grow on me pretty quickly. The overall level seems to vary in places and there's some noise on the beginning that you need to lose, so you might want to have a look at that. Maybe the vox could come up a wee bit.
