    Nice!  The title fits the mood evoked by the music.  What did you use for drums?  My ear was wanting the snare to "pop" a little more, a minor tweak.  This tune would work well in a Spy/Adventure film!

    Nice rig too!

    Cheers!

    Ah! The sound of Z3ta+ nice, enjoyed listening to this.  My only observation is that perhaps the kick could do with some slap if you get my drift.

    Thanks for sharing Shawn

    I like the energy and vibe this gives, adrenaline.

    Production is pretty bang on, listening on a laptop cant really comment on the mix, but the kick is pretty inaudible, some more high end punch might help with it.

    With a little attention to the percussion, this will be a gem.  Nice going, Shawn.

    Thanks tbosco, wookie, lynn & whack...I really appreciate the input. I used a bunch of the included SONAR DRUM LOOPS mashed together and Battery 3 for percussion!

    THANK YOU! - SHAWN

    Something kinda cool about this but it needs electronic drums those rock drums don`t give it that low end that it needs to carry it...It felt like you shoulda called it Weightless instead of Under Pressure...LOL  JMPO...so it doesn`t mean that much.


    Whoa.... to you ...oh...earth and sea...

    for it is a human number...
    it`s number is.....

    So if JESUS rose from the DEAD
    Does that mean he`s the ORIGINAL ZOMBIE?

    What do you mean by lifted? I don`t know what RMIX is.

    it comes with SONAR X2 & I guess you can isolate parts of instruments and vocals don't know about drums...I've never used it. -Shawn

    BOOM, Heya Shawn :). Cool tune. Yeah, needs more beefy drums, but the rest is so good, you almost forget that :). BTW, did I just see an 8-track tape on your desk?????

    Hi Shawn,

    I love this kind of music. I tried to do something similar once, but I don't have a knack for it. :( I may post it some time.

    The mix is perfect on this. I hear what they are saying about the drums, but they sit in the mix perfectly and I wouldn't have noticed if someone didn't bring it up.

    BTW ... I had that 8-track. Can't tell by your pic, but if I remember correctly, I think it's a young Waylon Jennings. Probably wrong. :)

    This is cool.  Usually I'm right in synch with Vicente's tastes, but I was not as wild about the drum tone, it sounded a little harsh to me, but if you know my history, you know my ears don't hear drums they way everyone else does.

    Maybe just a touch or a touch more compression, but pretty cool.
