Lynn - what a great tune - the mix really since crystal clear to me - vocals are great - all the instruments are played so well. Excellent.

Yes... This sounds much better now, Lynn...
Very well done... great song/production... 

digging the guitar on this one lynn,this was an interesting choice to mix the lead guitar parts to one side.it does in deed  distinguash those parts very nicely though.and ive been a big fan of that mixing style since ted templeton did it with van halen.i know it was used earlier than that(hendrix)but it was ted that reall opened it up IMO.
 
ive followed your stuff for a while now.you have some great roots in music.
there was a song you did a couple years ago or maybe less about a soilder going off to war i think it was.
(forgive me if i have the details mixed up a bit).i just really took a lot from that song,i really liked it.
and realized your were not only a good musician but a good writer as well.
 
like i said,the guitar parts in this song are really good,sounds like a wha effect in there as well.
and a lot can be said about a songs end.
this one was really nice.it was spontanous,i like that.and when it did end.it was cut so clean the air seemed to drop.
which sometimes effect tails can linger.
this was cut nice.a dead stop.clean
 
please forgive the spell check as well,everytime i go to open it up using ie 9 it shows it for a half second,then that whole bar(the one with photo,link,spell check,exc)just disapears.
i need to get a new browser or just hope cake updates this forum software soon.

Lynn, sounds great. The harmony reminded me of CSN&Y (We are stardust, we are.....). 

"I'm flattered by the Steve Miller comparison."

How about the fact that we both "do things in the basement?"  (I'm sorry for that right there Lord.)

As always I'm late to the party! 
 
Lynn, this is the first time I hear this song and obviously missed out on the previous versions up to this point.  I really like you vocal.  Nice job.  As far as the Steve Miller comment, I just smiled when "Fly LIke an Eagle" was mentioned.  Um... that's a compliment as far as I'm concerned.  Love the guitar tone too!
 
I'm listening at work with ear buds so take my comment with a grain of salt but I'd tend to agree on the snare sound.  I'm not sure if I'm a fan.  Otherwise this is a great tune.  Nice job.
 
 

Hi Lynn
 
I thought about it and actually one of my songs "Songs in the Night" the guitar is mainly on the left channel.  However, I have a delayed version on the right channel which add more space, but the guitar still sounds coming on the left.  On the solo, I brought the delayed version just a bit, but I have learned that you have to be careful with phase problems. Anyways just a suggestion.
 

@vechung- the guitar is only in the right channel to balance with the electric piano in the left channel. I thought about panning the solos to the center, but that would leave the right channel empty, so that is where my thinking was in regard to that.

I missed the first two mixes, but I like what I hear on the third (?) one. The snare is slightly roomy, but you may be able to tame it using the Percussion Strip. Vocals sound great.

Regards,
Dan

Today I changed the snare drum to one that is less ambient because of suggestions from several of you, and I like it better.  This song has never sounded as good as it does now, and it is almost 5 years old.  Thanks again, friends!


Vicente, thanks for replying.  I have a number of songs that use the same technique, so I thought I'd change it up with this song.  I mixed it to be more like a live performance than a studio song ( hopefully).  Good to hear from you.
Ed, always a pleasure to get a positive response from you.  You've been so busy that I don't know how you get the time.  Keep up your good work.

Dan, thanks for your kind words.  I changed the snare today and reposted.  I agreed with you and James, and I like it better, now.

Mike, thank you so much.  Keep up the good writing.

Not heard the earlier mixes, though it does sound familiar somehow (posted before?).
 
Anyway, all sounds good now, clear and well balanced / defined.

Great track Lynn with some very interesting twists and turns in a proggy way.

Loved your guitar playing and the tone of it.

Your vocals, particularly the harmonie parts are great and just perfect for the song.

I'm not as qualified as others here to tell you how to improve the mix, but it's still sounded enjoyable to me as it stands.

 Good one Lynn.

John, thanks a lot for your reply.  I hope you enjoy my music as much as I enjoy yours!

Kev, thank you for taking the time to dig this up and listen.  Being likened to Steve Miller rocks my boat.  It's funny you bring up the reverb on the drums, as I lessened it in response to someone's suggestion.  It's kind of a coin toss right now.

guitardood, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.  Everyone has been so gracious and helpful with this event.  I'll soon be posting another song for your perusal.

Starise, thank you so much for taking the time to listen.  I should by a set of earbuds to check my mixes on, but it sounds entirely different at the IMAX theater...

Lynn, you always have an interesting and engaging style to your songs, they're different but familiar (if that makes any sense). Anyhow, I like 'em, and this one is excellent. Love the harmonies and the guitar work is inspired.
