Great job bat. Love your playing. Cool song. Some crits: There is a lot of really high top end that is piercing through the top (too much). The upper mids and highs could be tamed. Anyway, maybe its my system but with a little less brittle and warmer highs, this would sound great jacked up! Love your playing - did I say that?

Yet another superbly performed and crafted work of art. More bottom end on the Box version but well controlled vs. not quite as much bottom end though more clarity overall on the SC version. Both mixes sound fine, its your call

Cool tune, great playing, but as Jimmy noted, maybe a bit brittle or hot on the mix.

thanks for listening rimshot.... the highs were intentional, just a judgement call (maybe wrong) to get the song to have a more aggressive sonic nature. it would not hurt to re-eq it a bit, just on the mastering. it's much smoother pre-master. the highs match several similar modern hard rock mixes, mostly comes from the hot cymbal mix.

funny how a 128 kpbs stream can change the perception of a mix, eh?! LOL, the low end is the first to suffer. then the high end gets brittle. i just hate the streaming sounds, but it's a necessary evil, as most wont bother with the high end files just yet.t thanks for the critique philz
Cool tune, great playing, but as Jimmy noted, maybe a bit brittle or hot on the mix.
thanks for listening, philz, i'll look at the diff between the streaming 'sound', and the full wav file sound.

i may be wrong but Dropbox handles full wav`s for me and I use it when sending stuff off for mastering etc....
but then if its being Mastered for ITunes I guess that's different.
fortunately,the older I get,the less the gap in quality I notice.

Good to "hear" bat.
I would hate to think you are burning your precious ears out with lots of rock. It can and does happen to lots of rockers. When the 5-10K frequencies start getting hammered too much, the mixes tend to get overly bright and some guys don't even know it.
I know a few friends that played their guitars way too loud in their studios for years and have some major hearing loss from it.
As a drummer, I backed way off in the 90's because of the cymbals. I gave my ears a break for years and it saved them. I now take it real easy when tracking and pump it up to check mixes and listen to favorites. My go to are AKG 240's, ATH M-50's, and my small Equator D-5's.
Some of your songs I can really crank up and others not as much. That's why the comment.
All the best.

Whoa, that is very, very cool! Kick-ass guitar work. Love the harmonies (both vocal and guitar)- got some Brian May going on in there- and a very cool ending. I'ma have to listen to that one again...

yes, the dropbox i am using allows downloads of the full wav. i figure if someone's savvy enough to grab it, they can have it! mastering for itunes, that just don't fly for me. not until it's across the board, i do not know many folks that listen on itunes, but i do sell my albums on itunes. i can hear obvious differences between most mp3's and full 16 bit wav files, and when it comes to 24 bit, the difference bites right on the @ss. heheh Rimshot

thanks for worrying about my ears, rimshot! LOL....... the choice of the bright on this mix/master was a choice. some folks are really sensitive to that, others crave it. in this case, i wanted hot cymbals, and therefore had to 'hotten' the voice to get it to cut. i would mix this differently now. the new album i'm half way thru now, it has a different eq altogether, partly because of my room treatments, and using the ARC program..... and partly because i just decided to change how i mix.

I listened to this once before Bat, a while back and I thought I commented....but guess I didn't. I thought this was the typically, pro production that I am used to hearing from you. No, nits on my end. Good song...well performed, as usual.
Man, I wish I could play that geetar like you brother.

Holy ####! This song comes at you from all directions! I thought my computer was going to blow up but after the song was over it just had a cigarette instead. Great performance. The great tone of the bass did not go overlooked.

I remember this song well. I don't know what you've done to it since the last time, but it still cooks in my book. BTW, thanks for pointing me in the right direction on my song regarding the drums. It's changed quite a bit since I first posted. Your mixes always inspire me, though our styles are so different. You do make a difference.

hey, thanks for the kind words, especially about the bass. i work on those tones, parts, performance and feel as much, if not more, than any other part. to me, the bass holds the whole thing into a groove, and playing behind, on or ahead of the beat is something i'm super conscious of. so anytime anybody mentions it, it makes me feel good, so thanks!

No real surprises here... The guitar and vocals kick *** as usual, just really good performances and tone. Great bluesy groove too. Love some of the lines in the ending solo, really good stuff and cleanly executed.

hi mgm, thanks for listening yea, on buds it's fairly smooth, except for buds that have that bass boost designed into them.... wonder what makes it sounds '80's to you... it's definitely 2010's! heheh
