    Bahhahaha... nice. That hit the right note with me tonight. I love the tone on the guitar. It is so nice to hear some good keys along with it. Really enjoyed that. Can't say anything about the mix, was having too much fun to listen critically. Well done.

    Wow! Thanks. I don't think you've ever really liked my stuff much. Maybe all of this advice I ask for is starting to pay off! The keys are some loops I found while digging through one of the Library's that Cakewalk gave us. Loopmasters 100 or something like that. I would like some more critical opinions of the mix, if you have the time. Thanks again.

    Bahahah, love this. Mix is fine. Others can nit pick it, but to me it sounds good loud and at normal volume and that is all that matters. Every time I play this I just start smiling.

    Is there a way to download this? I would love to have this on my current iPod play list. -edit I am listening to "Struck by Fascination". All I can say is your mixes are stellar. Fabulous work. You sure it was me that did not like your work? I cannot imagine not liking any of this. Must have been in a real grump that day

    Hmmm. Let me see if I can change something in the Soundcloud prefs to make it downloadable...I may need to upload it again and change that then. Do you know how to change that setting in soundcloud itself, without having to upload them all again?

    Ok. You can download it now. Nice to be able to fix that without having to upload them again.

    Clint, this is so smooooth.  The mix highlights every instrument and shows off your playing and writing skills very well.  I liked the second song, too.  You seem to have a handle on X2, and I've always loved T-Racks stuff.  Great job.

    All the best,

    Thanks Lynn and Herb! I don't know which song is second, but thanks! Yeah I'm really loving the T-racks stuff. I got it cheap so I couldn't pass it up.

    Very nice.

    Loved the upbeat vibe and the guitar work is excellent.

    The mix sounds perfect to my ears.

    Some vocals would be the icing on the cake i reckon.

    Great stuff.

    Yeah, hey, Clint, this is some really slick stuff you got goin' on here... I mean really.  I knida' had it on in the background while doing some computer housekeeping and it totally drew me in.  Very, VERY good job on this.  Some great playing, and a sparkling clean production.  Sounded great even on my little pc speakers.  Terrific!

    Top Notch.  Loved it all the way through.  Extremely tasteful and intelligent guitars licks.  If I was making a movie I would want this over the opening credits.  I'd pay handsomely too.  If only.  - Dan

    Like this a lot Clint, great to hear an instrumental with a sense of fun. Lovely phrasing and tone on the guitar, reminds me of Jan Akkerman.

    Thanks Jamesg1213! I must confess to not being familiar with Jan Akkerman, but I've looked him up on youtube. He's a fantastic player way beyond my ability. Thanks for turning me on to him. Thanks for listening too!

    I enjoyed that one Clint.  Mix sounded great on the monitors.  I will say that about the 3 minute mark the guitar sounded too far back.  Could just be me.  Nice performance!
