Well done Lynn, I'd like to hear more Kick in the mix but that's personal preference. Also I think I'm hearing V Vocal artifacts here and there.

Hey, Lynn,
 
Another excellent, very creative pop rocker with your wonderful, recognizable signature sound!
 
Great songwriting and vocals, and I really love the tone and playing during those very tasty guitar solos.
 
Really good stuff, buddy, and have a great Labor Day weekend!
Bob

Hi, everyone!  I've been away for a while, and I haven't been following this forum like I would like.  I was surprised to see this song on the front page because I've been so busy and have moved on to a newer project, and this song has fallen on the back burner for me.  
 
@Tony-thanks for your time and ears.  You are indeed correct when pointing out the V-Vocal artifact which occurred on the high harmony in one line.  That takes familiarity with VV and VERY good ears.  Ultimately, I'll rerecord the vocal line.  As for the bass drum, since you and others have pointed this out, I will address that in the next mix.
 
Warren, I really appreciate your kind comments, and as I said above, I will deal with the perceived thinness of the track, as I am beginning to hear that myself.
 
Bob, you always say the nicest things and give me much encouragement.  It's always a thrill hearing this from a talent such as you and many others here.
 
Wookie, thanks for taking the time to listen and respond.  I agree with you and Frank that this could take a bridge; however that would make the song at least half a minute longer, and it may be too long already.  lol  I'm working on a new song that has verses, choruses, AND a bridge!  It'll be posted in the very near future.
 
Again, thanks to all of you that have responded, and have a safe and happy Labor Day.

Steve, thanks for taking a listen and your kind comments.  As a matter of fact, I just remixed this again in response to those who've suggested that it is shy in the low end.  The new version can be found here: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?q=hi&songID=12439692

Hi Lynn.  I think I agree with others saying I'd like to hear more bottom end frequencies, even after your recent remix.
 
One thing I want to mention - the rhythm seems a bit busy, due to the shuffling drumbeat and the active bassline and other rhythmic parts.  I'm sure that's what you're going for, since you apparently started with the drums.  It just doesn't seem to match up real well with the vocals, which are smooth and melodic.  Just my $0.02!
 
Overall, nice sound, and obviously a lot of effort went into it!

hi my dear friend "Lynn"
very nice, congratulations .. I wish you continued success. Best wishes

cool tune.... it's a happy tune...
 
enjoyed the listen.

Herb, thanks for dropping by and your kind comments.  It's always good to hear from you.  It's not always easy to write about happiness.
 
AT, you have very good ears to hear that hitch.  Now that I have the instruments about where I want them, I will go back and redo the lead and harmony vocal until I'm comfortable with them.  I've been singing some since I recorded those vocals, and my voice is stronger, now.  Thank you for your time and comments.

Mike, thanks for having a listen and your helpful comments.  I'll be taking these into consideration on the next go round.  I have tons of cymbals, though I just stayed with the default cymbals that came with this particular kit.  I can go brighter, darker, louder, softer, or any number of directions.  You may have heard something like this song on an Adrien Belew album, as he's one of my all time favorites.  I'll try some different settings for the vocals next time.  Thanks again.

Wow Lynn, this sounds MUCH better to my ears.  The mix is fantastic in terms of relative levels between parts, and I think the new vocals are super.  The rhythm sounds less "caribbean" now, but I like it this way.
 
The only detraction I'm hearing is clipping, which may be happening at your mastering and/or export stage.  Are you mastering in Sonar, or a separate program?  I'd suggest taking a look at your Sonar Master bus level and make sure it's not clipping before you export, then check your compressor/limiter levels in your mastering program and make sure they're not too aggressively set.
 
Great work Lynn!

@ Walt and Robert, you may be right about aggressive levels in the mastering stage.  That's the difference between mastering for a wave file and an MP3.  That'll be an easy fix.

Nice job Lynn.
I like the new vocals.

Nice job Lynn.
I like the new vocals.

ABeautifulVirus
i really am fond of the chorus particularly the harmony it sticks in you head like peanut butter on the brain. nice work, Lynn.
 
this song makes me wanna take my chick on a cruise in the bahamas - very kewl!!
 
this new current mix sounds well balanced to my ears- maybe pushed a bit to limit in some places or maybe this is not normalized? anyway i like it a lot. - Daren :) 

 I am so pleased that this new mix is resonating with you all.  As noted above, I pushed the volume pretty hard in the mastering stage, but that will be corrected.  The rest of the mix should stay the same while ending up cleaner.  To all those who've taken so much time with me, I think it will all pay off in the end.  I'll have a good song with the help of a few dozen co-producers.

Paulo, thanks for taking the time.  It's good to hear from you.  On the next mix, I'll be turning a few things down, but I'm happy to hear that I'm in the ballpark.

Hi Lynn,
 
Love the bass vibe; the way the bass allows all the other instruments to flow through while giving a solid melodic underpin.
 
Good Job!
