    Wow, scooped this one up from the bottom of the page! Not sure why it's had no response, I really like this, a fun, upbeat live sounding track

    Thanks guys! This is a 25 year old song we do in The Enablers. Just got it recorded last year. Started with a dummy midi drum track. Then added the guitars, bass, and vocals. Drums went on next (our drummer also plays in an EDM band where he plays to a click track so he is pretty good at playing over stuff - heck, they use Sonar for all the guitars keys and backing vocals in that band, not sure of the version). I added the trumpets, er cornets, lol, still my old Bundy I got in 6th grade in '77. The wah-wah sections have percussion "solo's" added. I think the first one has congas, the second congas and cowbell, the third congas cowbell and toms.
    Thanks for listening.

    When are the Enablers on tour? If you can, swing by the PNW. If you can take a break from all that enabling.
    Fun band with good vocals and a fun vibe for days.
     
    Mix-wise it's all good, except I'd call out a little too much bass g. I don't know where or if you did a hp filter on the bass, but I'd say you could move that cutoff frequency up just a bit. Things sound thick down there but that may have been your goal.
     
    I also thought I was hearing a tiny buzz in the left channel as if something was distorting just a bit, perhaps frequencies are stacking up. It's not the vocals because I hear it (I think) in the instrumental buildups between vocal lines. Maybe check :30 for an example, left side.
     
    Drums sound fantastic, lead vocal I could listen to all day without tiring. Great stuff.
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Hi Steve,
     
    The Enablers and this song sounds very good to me
    Every body played and sang their parts in the pocket .
    It must be real nice to have a band and to be able to record all the musical parts being played by all the members of the band .
     
    all the best,
     
    Kenny
