I Believe- by Scandalous Grace

Good tune. Appears we got us a 'Praise Band" and a good one!  Good harmonies on the "I believe in you".  Tight.  Instruments are well done.  This is a well done tune.  It's a good collab, as usual.  Michael, the guitar solos are well done.

I had a blast working on this one!  I think the guitar performances were excellent on this!
 
Thanks Warren! glad you enjoyed!

Thank you greatly Starise for listening to this tune and offering your advice.  I appreciate that you like this tune at that you like my unique vocal style in this song.  I have struggled vocally for years, but seem to finally be finding my voice. 
 
As far as guitar in the right channel, I believe you are correct....mostly.  There is also a Strat playing a clean rhythm in the Left channel, it was the original rhythm track to song.  I have had to raise it several notches already to not be out done by Sean's gorgeous tone in the Right channel.  I think Sean has a flange effect or something on his clean tone.  What ever he did to get that tone, it cuts through the mix effortlessly.  It sounds like I need to raise my clean Strat rhythm up a couple notches yet to balance the 2 out. 
 
I want to keep the 2 guitars panned mostly left and right because Reece's B3 in stereo takes up 50% left and right in the mix. 
 
Again, thanks for helping us out with this tune Starise....sounds like we almost have it nailed.

Thanks for listening Tim - always great to hear your input!

Hey Jimmy,
 
Thanks for listening and commenting Brother.  I'm very encouraged by two of the things you have mentioned.  One being how big the mix sounds on your speakers.  
 
The other, that you noticed the drums and the Bass.  Drums are your expertise, so it is really good to hear that you like them.  However, the Bass was really a favorite part of this song for me.  I just love the rolling/walking style of Bass that came out of this song. 
 
Again....I greatly appreciate the listen and you taking the time to comment.  

Thanks for listening and commenting Phil.  I have reworked the vocal mix a little, tweaked a little EQ.  I think the vocals are working better.  I appreciate the advise.  

Thanks Steve for you input.  Really glad that you like the song.  Yes, I agree with you, the tonal changes turned out really nice in the transition from verse to chorus in this song. 

Great song guys!  Simple proclamation of faith with an awesome vibe!  Love it!
Great job on the clean mix!

Grant and Rich,

Thank you both for listening and commenting. Really glad that you like the song, this was a lot of fun to produce with the band. Everyone's parts came together really well.

 
 
Clint,
 
The guitar tones that I have on this all come from Amplitube on this song.  I am using some Paul Rose presets, the amp model is the Custom Modern High-gain on about medium gain. Sean uses TH2 for his guitar tones.  The bass is one of the SVT Ampeg tones in Amplitube.
 
I have actually already sold the H & K.  It had a little bit too modern of a sound for me.  I picked up this Classic 20 head below instead.  I need a cabinet for it yet.  I've been playing it either through my 410 combo using the speaker cabinet or head phones, silently.  I tried to do a little recording with it, direct out through its speaker simulator and it sounds pretty good.  Sounds even better when you put it through a speaker simulator.  It will show up on one of the band songs eventually.  I like this little amp head a lot.  Its very similar to my Classic 50w combo, but 20w, 5w, 1w, or silent for recording or head phones.  Very handy. 
 
I assume that you are using S-Gear still on "Sara". 

Great classic rock sound fused into Christian rock.  Well played!
Wish I could get my mixes sounding that clean. 

Thanks So much, cwestmont, we appreciate the listen and great comments! I agree, Mike did a great job on the mix!

Thanks Walt! Appreciate the time and thanks for the kind words!

Thank for listening and commenting Bob.  I have followed your work for many years and am am extremely pleased that you enjoyed this song.
