Cool tune....I played it while I did something else and I noticed that I really like that groove.
Nice job.

Shows really nice diversity, and as you know, I am all about that too :D. There are some distractions with the panning at the moment. Those were already covered. I love it's movement and overall composition though. Thanks for sharing Lynn :).

Herb, thanks for stopping by. It's funny, but I wrote this song while working on something else. I got distracted and ended up with this.
Tony, I appreciate you comments and your time. Hopefully, the panning issues have been resolved.
Tom, I love Joe Walsh, so thank you for the compliments. As for the f/x, many people claim to love the old Roland Space Echo, and this is the closest I've come to emulating that tape delay. It's a little dark, but those who had a tape delay know this is reasonably accurate. It just happened that I liked this color for the vocal.
Thanks again to all of you. This is still a WIP, but it is getting closer and closer each day to a finished product thanks to all of you.

only some of the sounds need to be improved
but the concept is good and of course your voice too ;-)
i think, a bit more polishing of the sounds
would be good (Shine)
It could be a real hit.
All the Best

B36B, thank you for having a listen. I think you may be right. A little spit shine could do wonders. This song is still open and a long ways from being polished, but I do appreciate your ears and advice.

Missed the earlier mixes so can't comment in relation to them. I like the guitar sound - feels spot on for this.

Nice job on this, Lynn. I like the song. As a bass player, the bass tone is bothering me a little. It seems like it should be a bit deeper or beefier. I wish I could explain things better. This could very well be just a personal preference. Your vocal is good as always. I like the tune and I like the ending.

Larry, thank you for taking a listen and the Clapton reference. He's one of my all time favorites though the similarity is accidental.
Warren, I take you seriously about all matters regarding bass. Since this song is still open, I wonder if you think that applying the tube tone that comes with ProChannel would help with this? I'll be experimenting with some different settings the next time I dial this up. Glad you like the ending.

As Bat sez nice Todd Rundgren vibe. Kinda poppy, kinda psychodelic. Great mix of the 2 and, yea, it is very retro. Nothing wrong w/ that seeing as I am too ;-)
About the only thing to add is the snare has no body (that I could hear on these computer speakers, anyway - they are hit and miss so take it with a saltshaker full of salt).
Nice groove, great arrangement. With the mix, it seems you are hitting the point of diminishing returns (tho I didn't hear the early versions). It sounds really solid at this point.

Makke, I appreciate your comments and the time for listening. Keep up your good work!
AT, you may be right about the point of diminishing returns. I have it in the ballpark, so the best thing to do would be to give it a rest and approach it with fresh ears. The snare is thinner than I normally use, but that was the idea. This is something that I will listen to when I come back to this song. Thanks for your time and advice. You've given me much good advice this year.
