As always wonderful work Bob! Since this isn't strictly my usual genre there's probably more informed people here that could comment on the mix better than I can. The kick seemed slightly dry but maybe that was my system here.
 

Hi Bob, this sure rocks ; ) The guitar solo sounds a bit buried in the mix, imho, turn it up to 11 ; )

Second pass Bob, this has your signature sound, though I think the vocal is a little thin and a little set back in the mix from your normal finished product, I agree that the solo could also come up a dB or two.

Will keep the furry ears pinned for the next mix.

Hey, Tim,
 
Thank you so much, buddy, I really appreciate your input and encouraging comments!  I will definitely check out the soloed kick during the remix to see if something's amiss spatially.
 
Greatly appreciate you giving this a listen and providing good input, Tim, have a super week!
Bob

Hi, Rik,
 
How are you, my friend?  Hope you're doing well!
 
Sincere thanks for checking out this mix for me, and for your input and very kind words!
 
 LOL, I'm always a bit paranoid about the old saying "sounds like it was mixed by the guitar player" where the guitar solos just crush everything else in a mix, so I think lately I've been gun shy and lowered most of the solos way too much.  I will definitely bump it up for the remix, and I'm grateful for your good input and friendship!
 
Thanks again, Rik, and have a great week!
Bob

Hey, Wook,
 
Thank you, brother, once again, I really appreciate your excellent furry ears and good input and observations!
 
Later this evening I'm going to try to thicken up the vocals, and I will definitely bump up the volume of the guitar solo as per your and Rik's suggestion.  Hoping to have the remix up by tomorrow morning.
 
Very grateful for your observations and support, I always try to employ the ideas and suggestions put forth by everyone here on the forum, and it always makes for a better mix!

Have a great night, John!
Bob
 

wow...great bite on these guitars!! killer chorus....I think that whole section is really mixed well. As I was going back I kinda got caught up on the next tune in line here...so I'll just comment here.
 
Thin Line is a powerhouse for sure. I really like the lil guitar stop and pop at 1:27ish and 2:10ish...I am a firm believer in letting tunes breath so I enjoy using silence to break things up...and the harder the tune the better it seems to work so on this tune...the ****ing lead is killer...wow. This tune really shows a hell of a lot of maturity in your tunes...this could be on radio...no question. great job brudda!!!

Mix #2 Up!
 
Hey guys,
 
Just uploaded Mix #2 of this, I beefed up the bass a touch, punched up the guitar solo volume a bit as everyone suggested, (hope I didn't go overboard, LOL) and boosted the vocals as per Wookiee's furry ears.
 
Major thanks, and if you hear anything else out of whack, please let me know!
 
Have a good one!
Bob

Hey, Tom,
 
WOW! Looks like we were posting on this at literally the exact same minute!
 
It's really great to hear from you, I hope you're doing great!
 
Thank you so much for checking this out for me, and for your always good input and your encouraging comments!  I just posted the remix a few minutes ago, so it's probably what you listened to.
 
I just want to mention that your new Distant Towers song is absolutely PHENOMENAL!  Spectacular job all around by all three of you, and the video was way cool, too! 
 
That's also great about Tony getting married, I truly wish him the best, and hope he has a great honeymoon trip!  Please send him my congratulations and best wishes.
 
Major thanks, Tom, I always look forward to and greatly appreciate the great input, support and friendship from the Distant Towers boys here on the forum!
 
Have a good one, brother!
Bob
