Hey Bob!  Man this tune rocks!!!  Reminds me of some good old Ronnie Montrose a bit.

I too think the low end is VERY deep, as my sub was bouncing off the floor.  Maybe adjust your cutoff filter for a steeper slope, or roll off the level below 80 Hz a bit more??  Also, I had a hard time getting definition out of the bass, so maybe a tweak in the low mids might help???

I thought the vox was just right on my system.  And this tune is LOUD!!!  LOL  Fine job on those guitars too!

Just a few tweaks, and I think this one is ready for prime time.
Thanks.

Your awesome guitar playing just stuns me.  I like the lyrics, especially "I had my lucky day when I found you".  I don't have a subwoofer, so I can't comment on the bass, but everything was well defined on my monitors.  The only thing I heard concerns the vocal.  I thought it lacked some mids which made it sound a little bright.  Yet, it cuts through everything, and I'm a fan of being able to understand the lyrics regardless of the genre.  All this needs is a few minor tweaks to elevate this mix into an absolute gem.  Encore, maestro.

Superb song and performances! Just a bit of mix tweaking on the low end and she'll be there.

Well, I thought maybe you would change and do opera, NOT!  I like the way it starts and the panning and all.  Your recording technique is awesome.  Actually, I'm on pretty good monitors (BX8a) and hear no rumble or any low overtones that shouldn't be there.  It's well balanced to my ears.  Of course, everyone knows old guys can't hear.  LOL.  It's a good song and it's played, sung, recorded and mixed well. 

Ok the first thing i notice was the picture, that guitar looks awesome bro! The song was great and the tone on the guitar solo was pretty good too. there seems to be more low end which makes it harder to detect what the intro guitar parts are doing but your material is pretty good.

 Really ccol tune Bob, sounds huge here. Love that guitar tone and style and vocals were super as well, keep on rockin' brother

Nice rocking tune stunning playing, agree the bass needs a little and only a little tweaking.

You got formula for that  B I G  sound!

Killer guitars.  The vocals could use a pitch tweak in couple of spots, but  loved the harmony.

Love that harmony guitar break thing.  Nice tone on the lead guitar break.

I assume you are tuned down a step?  Have you tried 7 string yet?

Ok, this one, I REALLY LIKE!! Most specifically from a lyrical POV, cuz I think they are on point, almost wish I'd've wrote them!! I'll say I'm not a huge fan of many styles rock short of punk, alternative, and hard, but I can say the drumkit sounds just a little too 'made', if you know what I mean.
It's a nice tune, though!

Hey, Lynn,
 
Thank you, brother, for checking in on this and also for your kind words of encouragement and good input and observations!
 
Yes, Sir, it looks like I may have a little bit of EQ tweaking to do on the bass guitar and vocals.  I've noticed that when I use Cake's Channel Tools plugin, the high end on the Vox can sometimes get over emphasized a little.  Hopefully, a touch of EQ here and there will fine tune things a bit.
 
Thanks for lending your very good ears and your input, greatly appreciated, buddy!

Hey, Scotty,
 
How are you, buddy?  It's really great to see you back around, hope you're doing great!
 
Thank you very much for checking in on this one and for your kind words!  I'm hoping a little EQ surgery will do the trick on the remix.  I'm just starting to get my "mixing ears" back after a five month break from recording, so I appreciate your input.  All the comments and observations from our fellow forum friends really help to fine tune and polish up a mix.  That's what makes this such a great place.
 
Thanks again, Scotty, have a good one!

Hey Warren,
 
How are you, buddy?  Hope you're doing well!
 
Thanks for checking in on this song for me and for your very encouraging comments!
 
LOL, yes, Sir, I'll definitely be sure to send you a PM if I decide to make the switch to opera music!  Maybe a little Vivaldi, or Handel, or a metal cover of "Phantom".
 
Thanks again, Warren, for all your input, observations and support here on the forum, I greatly appreciate it, my friend!

Your latest Pugtones post, "Big Boned Betsy", with Warren and Scotty was a real blast, great stuff!

Hi, Marcus,
 
Thanks very much for taking time to give this a listen, and for your kind words and input!
 
Yes, I'm planning on a little bit of EQ tweaking on the low end for the remix, hopefully, over the weekend.  I'm kind of just getting back into the swing of things after taking a five month break from recording, and my "mixing ears" are slowly starting to get back to normal.
 
Many thanks for checking it out, and your input and observations are greatly appreciated!

Great song love the style although I interpret it like a sandwich with the ground on its own the solo (well played indeed) in the middle and the song on the top. Open up the ground and the song and it will be a Pizza on the beach a sunny day.

Bob, sounds really great. Your songs are always so distinct, each instrument so clear. Great job.

Hi Bob,

Sounds awesome...and HUGE!! Really liked the intro. Great playing and, of course, great vocals.
