New song - Let You Go - (updated 8/18/14)

Hello to all my forum friends.  I've been vacationing until recently which is why I haven't been around.  I was inspired to write this new song about two weeks ago, and now it's ready for your perusal.  I've changed my production methods drastically since my last song, and this is the result.  As usual, I wrote and recorded everything, and I  eagerly await your thoughts.  All I've learned from this forum has been applied to this production.  I want to thank all of you in advance for your time and effort regarding this and all past productions.  I couldn't have done it without your help.
 
8/18/14- Here is the result of my remix per your suggestions.  I added more "beef" to the low end and balanced the left and right channels.  Hope this works.

Lynn,
 
Really good song and arrangement.   I can't decide whether I like the vocal processing or not, at first I didn't like it but by the end it was growing on me a little;)   I would be curious how it sounds clean, i.e. without the modulation or whatever is on the track.   The music is really engaging, very cool.
 
Regards

Thank you all for your kind remarks.
 
Robert, I'll take your observations about the drums into account when I revisit this.  This was the first song I ever did with AD2, so I'll take some time with this to get it right.
 
Mark, thanks for listening.  The vocal processing in this comes from Izotope Nectar, and it reminds me of a Pink Floyd song that I like.  I made sure that the dry vocal was sounding good to my ears before applying the f/x.
 
Freddy, thank you for your kind words.  I hadn't thought of ZZ Top, but now that you mention it, I know what you mean.  This f/x was new for me, and I just wanted to give it a try.

Lynn, really like this. Different style. Stands out. Sounds great.

Reminds me of early Genesis.  Like what you did with the panning.  Good big space in the middle for the vox.  I'm trying do more of that.  Like transition alot.  Awe sweet at 2:30...like that alot.  Guitar on right sounds alot like the guitar on "When Doves Cry"...like it.  I'd like a slightly fatter bass and kick.  Nice job.

I really like this one Lynn, as noted above it's different but really cool.
I like the vocal processing, fits the song well IMHO.
Great arrangement, good job on spacing everything.
What is that effect on the right channel guitar? Really cool.
Great job!

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words and time.
 
Bob, the guitar is played through TH2 and the main f/x is the Octaver with a little grit.  I love that sound, and I first heard it done by Jimi Hendrix.
 
John, I keep my levels low in Sonar (about -12 to 18), bounce to Sound Forge, where I put a limiter on it set to -8.0 threshold and -0.1 margin for 16/44.1 wave files.  For MP3 conversion, I set the limiter to 0 threshold and -0.35 margin @256K.  Thanks for asking.

this is a very interesting tune...really cool...very different. I really enjoyed this!!
 
If you ever want to heard an alternate mix I'd love to remix this....just email me

Makke, thanks for your time and kind words.  BTW, I enjoyed your odes to the circus!
 
Tom, thank you for your interest!  I'd like to hear what you could do with this.  I'll be in touch.
 
James, I'm not sure what genre this would fit in, but I call it progressive-pop, for lack of a better description.  Thanks for your time!

Hi Lynn ,
your song is pretty impressive in a lot of areas  
I like the way you changed up the arrangement at 2:06 and ongoing ..brilliant , yeah I like the way you did the vocals and there's a lot of cool playing going on with all the supporting parts .
it sounds like you are heading in a very creative direction with your new production methods .

Cool song there, Lynn!   Different for sure.   I like the interplay between the left and right sides, and the vocals do remind me a little of ZZ too both in tone and processing.   Works well IMHO.
 
Oh...  and I love the short "pop-corn" solo.  
 

But(ter) of course.
 

Monty, thank you for your observations.  You are not alone in your assessment.  I will address these concerns when I return to this mix.  Last weekend, Kansas City got a lot of rain, and my basement, where my studio resides, got flooded.  Fortunately, only my carpet got soaked, but I had to hire a water restoration company to clean and dry out my studio.  Tomorrow the fans and dehumidifier will go, and I can put my studio back together and get to work on this project.  Thanks for you valuable time.

Nice remix Lynn, still got that edginess without the harsh jangle, we also have some bottom end weight and body.
 
Good job sir
