Nice song and mix, Dan. I thought it was well balanced (maybe a little bit lower on the right acoustic guitar), and surprising twists in the song. Thumbs-up

Thanks Ken!

This is excellent. Immensely suits the background theme.
 
Cheers,

Excellent Dan - really unexpected when the double time drums kick in and then the dance feel but I love it.
My only slight nit would be maybe the acoustic guitar panned to the right could come down in the mix - I found myself hearing that over everything else at times.
Brilliant though

Are there specific moments where the acoustic is too loud? There are parts where it is the lead, and there are others where it is a supporting instrument, so I am looking for specific problem times to focus on.
 
Thanks!
Dan
 

Back now - the acoustic that is panned right - starts at 0.13 and ends 0.43 (when the same sound becomes more of a lead). Then it comes back in at 2.46 and turns into a leady thing around 3.15 ish.
It sticks out and detracts from the lead you have there IMO.
 
Let me say though that this is epic and a brilliant piece of composition/playing/production and mix - top job.

Got it, and I hear what you are saying. Overall, I think I boosted the acoustic too far and the entire mix is tilted to the right. I'll adjust the acoustic in those spots and pull it down a bit overall as well. Also, part where the acoustic competes with the lead is due to the fact that the lead wasn't there when I recorded the acoustic. The acoustic was the lead during that part. Of course, as thing changed, I couldn't decide which part I liked better, so they fight. I'll adjust it to sit better with everything else going on in that section.
 
I also think I may need to add a bit more low-mid "plunk" to the bass. Thoughts on that?

Hi Sir,
A very pleasing Journey in a kind of neighbour imaginery country .
I am lacking technical knowledge to say anything on the composition and the mix because,to my ears,it is full of joy and energy.
Now that we have the soundtrack,let's wait for the pictures,I would like to know what's that gun's girl is going to do.😎😗.
All the best.
Olivier

Thanks Olivier! I'm sure everyone has their own ideas about what happen in this "movie". I know I have mine

Everything else sits well as far as I am concerned. Adjusting that one item might help others pop so I wouldn't go too crazy. It's really very good.

Works here Dan, so who is going to be your director of choice for the film

Dan, this is really an interesting tune - every bit of it is excellent. You are one good musician.

Just wow, The production on this is in my mind is any bit as good as professional commercial releases. There were parts where I could hear the same quality on Joe Satch albums. Brilliantly done. 
 
 
Oh, the tune's not bad too! ;) 

Hey, Dan,
 
Wow this is literally like taking a musical journey, one that really sounds fantastic!
 
Great composition, arrangement and performances, and I love the richly textured instrumentation and how all the elements flow smoothly throughout the crystal clear mix.
 
Excellent stuff, Dan, pro quality all the way!
Bob
