New Song-feedback welcomed-UPDATED

Micheal and Jeff, Listening now. Really nice jam and sound. Like the lyrics and vocals are right up front where they should be. Nice balance to everything through headphones. Really nice song. John

Spacey, really cool jam. I liked it a lot.

Micheal and Jeff, very nice vibe. Great lyrics and performance. Vocals are awesome. Low end seems a little muddy, could use some low freq cut.

Has that Stevie Ray vibe in the beginning Mike. Love it! A little hi-pass (very subtly on the mix) should clear this up a little. Absolutely love those guitar tones!! Jeff's vox is very good. Heck, the whole song is well performed. Whio jut walked out the door??? LOL! Ya got my blood flowing this morning for sure...

It all sounds good here Juicy guitars and solid thumpin' bass. Nice bluesy tune well played.

Cool song and excellent mix! Vocal are really nice. Everything works for me - great job!!

Jeff and I are very appreciative.

Hey, Michael! I didn't hear this before you changed it to take out some mud. It sounds to me like you've got it, tho, but i am listening on a cheap soundcard, so take that for what it's worth.

I really like this - nice beat, great vox (Jeff). really well mixed, too, nothing's too overpowering, well balanced. clean and smooth. what are you using for drums? they're very well done also. love the sound FX at the end! great touch!

Smooth Friction? Hummmm, I'm not going to touch that one. I like the guitars, nice tone, nice paning and performances. Good mix and vocals, the backing vocals may could come up a weence (to me).

Micheal, off with the galoshes. Bravo!

Hey it sounds real good to me. You've got a real nice song here. I would suggest a few things- dynamics, meaning for a whole verse section bring it all down a little and then crescendo into the chorus- bass and drums could really propell this. I think there is too much reverb on drums, but more importantly I'd try a closed hi hat which will still give a cleansound. Lastly, simple eighth notes on a tom and snare are a great fill to build into a new section. Best intents, Ara www.aratunes.us

Robby-that's the same thing I thought...some things best left alone. Backing vocals , along with other stuff, and me confused as I ever been. There is a big harmonic spread in those parts -like many things something I've never mixed. I tried them all over the place and that's where they landed. Seemed like when they were louder I was distracted from the main part. Sure appreciate the comments-food for thought no doubt.

Shad- thank you. Hard to see it all on the field...great to hear from somebody in the stands...hope that analogy makes sense to you. A valued perspective.

Tom - thank you. thank you. thank you.

Anthony- sure glad you liked it. Appreciate the kind words.

Ara- Those are great ideas...Jeff may thinking along the same line..he mailed another "lead" vocal that I haven't heard.
I've had Vegas +DVD for years and had purchased the license for MP3 long before Sonar. Sony has some very good plugs that I like to use also when I render.

Regards,
Michael

wow that was very sixties bluesy vibe loved it , i could hear this as the new Austin Powers theme for the new movie "Austin Powers IN Smooth Friction"

This sounded AWESOME!!!! I thought the Mix was great also, but I should point out that I am not no pro. and am only a novice. Thanks for the listen! Very impressive guitar playing and overall song!!!!!!

Changes made from help I received here on "Smooth Friction".

Tom and Larry- The bass issue/ mud - First time I've used EZdrummer so remixed/eq'd - put high-pass filters on all the guitars. They all had a pretty heavy bottom. I know better and somehow missed that.
Didn't have to do much with bass guitar after those changes.

Tom(thacko) - Hopefully got Jefff's voice with the mid-lows now. Sounds better to me. Real small change but for the better I think.

Robby- Raised the backup vocals some...still couldn't raise them much because they seem to pull ya away from lead vocal. But they are louder.

The end result as I hear it. Major difference. It sounds much clearer to me.
Wanted you all to know you didn't waste your time with me...your comments are a gift and appreciated.

Michael
