Struck By Fascination

This song was recorded and edited in Sonar X3 producer and mixed with Harrison Mixbus. This is the first mix I've done with Mixbus and the new TDR Kotelnikov mastering comp. Opinions are very welcome...be brutal! Thanks.

i comment on your yout tube

Really nice production. Love the simple instrumentation but full sound.  Lead voc is maybe a tad soft and maybe the solo as well. Love the bass.  

Thanks for giving your opinion of the levels...these are the little things that take me forever to decide on. Thanks a freaking ton for the Steely Dan comments. Walter Becker is one of my favorite bass players of all time and the opening lick is pretty much his. As a guitar player, I try not to sound like a guitar player when playing bass, but I don't always succeed at that. Hahaha! Thanks for taking the time to listen...Your opinions are the ones I value the most. I've thought about adding a few more guitar licks or a little bit of keyboard fills, but I kind of like it simple too.

What they said.  Another terrific song from you.  I could easily hear Clapton doing this.  Keep em coming, Clint!

Thanks Mike! Yep, that's me singing. The guitar is probably Amplitube. I don't use the Mustang for recording at all. I prefer Amplitube or S-Gear. Some of the older instrumental stuff was a HD500, but I'm pretty happy with my two choices...until I step up and buy a Kemper or AxefxII. Thanks for listening.

@jude77...Thanks a lot!
 
I posted the two links because I remember someone saying youtube had better sound quality than soundcloud, but to be honest...I don't hear much difference. The mp3's I've heard on soundclick from some of you guys sound like the same quality too. I must not have the golden set of ears some people have.

Thanks Kenny. I'm really liking the combination of Sonar and Mixbus, but I have a lot to learn. When I go months in between projects I forget a lot of things and have to go back through the manuals. Good thing I love this stuff!

Great job! Kind'a has a Robben Ford/Tommy Castro vibe.

Great stuff!  All of the instruments sound really good.  The groove is fat and nicely in the pocket, the guitar tones are perfect, and the vocals are clean and present (great intonation).  Not much to add regarding the mix - clean, clear and punchy.  I'm not sure there's much (if anything) to actually improve - sounds radio ready to me.  
 

Excellent song/vocals/mix/production here Clint. I love this style of music and you've done a wonderful job. Top Notch and clear mix!!
Yes, you DO have a set of golden ears!!!

Great guitar, lovely clean mix - good job!

Thanks! I could do worse than Robben Ford!!

Once again, this is high quality production. Great guitar tones, playing and tasteful choice of notes too. Sung very well too...
The only thing that leaps to my mind is that the drums don't have enough variation, I like to hear lots of different things going on, so that could just be me being picky.

Did I say Wow. Love this stuff.
 
You did say be brutal though so...., I thought the bass could be a little more "light on it's feet" if that makes sense, a little heavy in relation the other parts that were playing.
The stereo spread felt a little out when listening in headphones, I can't quite put my finger on it now, I'll have another listen. Ok, I think that the further the instruments are from the centre, they could be a little further back, maybe a touch quieter in spots that they don't have a 'front and centre' type part, or maybe a touch more verb, or something to make them just sit back a little. I think it would suit the feel. This would allow you to bring them out more when they do have a spot to give the song even more impact.
This is just personal preference so don't muck up a good mix if you think what I'm thinking is not to your taste.
 
Vocals are my thing and I thought yours were really solid. Well done.
