This is a well put together track. Very full mix. Nice guitar work throughout. There were a few spots where the vocal sounded a very little bit flat though. Other than that, I like it.

Hi Bill and welcome!!
This was very pleasant to listen to on headphones (translated really well). The mix was done really well....enjoyed the excellent backup vox mix. Well done!!
 
Now I'm listening to Stand......wow, funkaaaay!! Love me that George Clintonesque funk!! Very good musicianship and full mixes.....a treat for my ears.
 
Keep up the good work!!
 
 
Lol....I just read your Bio

Cool track, really liked this a lot.  Personally thought the drums were possibly too prominent, but that could be taste.  Nice guitar work.

i wish that funk tune stand was my mix....its definitely NOT!
that was mixed by another fella on that site...and he is really good me thinks.
I just came up with the suggestion of a lyric idea, sang it, did a few harms, and he went nutz with it LOL.
funk is 90% attitude and 100% fun!!!
I thank you all for the compliments, critique and warm welcome here.
I only have a little i3 2 gb laptop that I did "train train" on....I spent all my $ on guitars/amps over the years,
I need a good computer and better software...I did have the original Cubase on a 486 a LOOONG time ago.
you all seem like a bunch of fine folks.
peace,
Xb

when I get the time I will start checking your guys stuff too.
always trying and willing to learn....even if I am an old dog.
woof!
take care gents
 
  

Welcome to the joint, old dog, I reckon you'll like it here . . .
 
Train Train has a ton of energy and drive, nice tune! I wonder though if the acoustic guitar strumming and drums couldn't stand a little lowering of volume when the singer is singing. Does your Music Creator 5 allow you to draw or plot volume curves on individual tracks as the song goes along?
 
The mix felt as dense in the intro to me as it did in the middle, I'd try to slip some more dynamics in there. This tune has energy to spare!
 
I'd also agree with the vocalist slipping flat a little here or there, not sure to what extent that could be remedied. Melodyne?
 
Anyway, on the good side the mix had a bright quality to it, not muddy, and that is definitely an achievement. Plus its drive and energy. Well done!

love the review....why?
because its honest and also gives a good side to ease the caster oil down LOL
 
i don't have melodyne ....only a handful of freebies, mhorse, 5orsery, ect,
no tuners.
i agree 100%...needs more dynamics and yes i can automate/plot.
excellent idea!
Thank you, Tom.

What a great song! The mix really good in my headphones. Cool guitars and nice vocals! Good job!

Very cool tune - the little sections work really well together. I know it's about trains, but hearing it makes me feel like I'm sitting in a small, local bar. Guitar is really clean and well played, vocals are good - a little rough in spots but it works in this kind of tune. Great job.

Sounds like a good song though it does get quite dense in places I wonder if a breakdown somewhere might help.  Thanks for sharing and welcome to the machine.
