Awesome musical performances. And melodies were very good too. I am not sure but vox and bass could be a bit louder, but my speakers aren't top notch so maybe they are just fine mix wise. I tend to put a lot of bass volume on my mixes so I might not be the best guy to help with mix.

Hi, Rik,
 
Major thanks for coming back to check out the remix, greatly appreciated!
 
For this one, I used my PRS Paul Allender Signature Model on all of the rhythm and lead guitar tracks.  I really love how the EMG 81-TW and EMG 89 split-coil active pickups combination sounds on heavier stuff, very versatile.
 

 
Thanks again, Rik, and excellent job on your new instrumental cover, great stuff!
Bob

Hey, Kakku,
 
Thank you very much for taking time to give this a listen, and for your very good observations and kind words!
 
Yes, Sir, since being away from mixing for a few months, unfortunately, I've been having a bit of a hard time getting the individual bus volume levels fine tuned.  I'm always afraid I'm mixing things too loud, and I usually end up with a few instruments too low in the mix instead.  Hopefully, as I've finally been able to get a little  more time mixing again, it'll come back to me soon,
 
Thanks, Kakku, much appreciated, my friend!
Bob

Hey, there's my good buddy, Wookiee back for a second helping on the remix!
 
Thanks so much, Wook, I'm always thrilled to see that you actually took the time to come back to check out the remix to help make sure that I'm moving in the right direction!  That truly means a lot to me, and always helps me get things buttoned down and tightened up in a working mix.
 
Much appreciated, Wook, and your latest post, "At The Edge" is pure instrumental dynamite, really good stuff!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob

Hey Bob seems nothing has changed in the several years since I last commented on your songs! you still have that Judas Priest sound nailed down, playing great guitar with awesome vocals. love the change of key for the solo and lead itself.
and yet the drum programming and mix remains the Achilles heel. I know these are test tunes so maybe your finished songs have session drums or something?

Wow, you sure are banging 'em out!    Big, wide mix as usual, rockin' guitars and vocals, with a catchy chorus to boot. 
 
However, in those spots when the guitar on the right drops out it really pulls the mix to the left in a weird way, as though my right ear "popped", if you know what I mean.

Yeah Bob!! You're just rocking em out!!
 
I agree with Steve's comment on the right side guitar dropping out was a bit unnatural sounding. Also, I would've like to hear a bit more brighter snare and the hi-hat seems hidden (the crashes sound fine though)......possibly a little more eq'ing/sheen on the drums? Of course, I'm listening on H-phones and my hearing could be skewed.
 
Good stuff (once again) from Oister Factory!!
Rock on my friend!!
