X-Drum is a feature in Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0...it let's you add more sounds to the standard kits you would load. From what I've read many snare drums on hit records are mixtures of several sounds. I read that some producers will blend in a clap sound to add a snap to snare drums. On this song I added a full sounding deep snare to the standard snare in the kit I normally use. It was pretty close to Collective Soul's snare. It is definitely something I need to explore more....

Mark, really enjoyed listening to this, I'm also unfamiliar with this song, but there were moments when I thought I had heard it before, but I guess it's a song from 20 years ago now. Extremely well recorded, balanced, and as others have stated the vocals are spot on. I also use Music Lab Real Guitar on some of my tracks, and I wasn't sure if this was a VST synth guitar or not ? . . . so well mixed and programmed there.

I use Musician Real Guitar on almost every song since I don't own an acoustic. RG sits really well in most mixes with very little EQ required. I also use Indigenous Acoustic Guitar to get some variety. (Great for Acoustic guitar solos BTW)
I learned on the Music lab forum that the secret to realistic sounds on their products is to use lower velocity. Their philosophy is that it is more based on feel than it is loudness. 
I usually average about 65 or 70 in velocity and the raise the harder strums for an accent. Sometimes lower in the 40s for quicker strums.
By using two instances of RG I pan them wide and alternate the velocities to simulate an auto pan effect. To me it sounds better than using an effect to achieve that with one guitar...

Another that does not know the song, but the mix comes across well here, thanks for sharing. 

Man I am starting to feel old. I would have figured that most people would be familiar with this tune.This song was a pretty big hit back in the mid 90s! The video was even more popular...oh well...LOL! Now I must cancel my Bobby Darin cover....

And therein lies the problem with me... I've never been a big follower of "popular" music I'm afraid...

I can't name 5 hit songs from the last 15 years so I can relate.

Yup, I know this one...    nice cover!    Very well done IMO.     About the only thing I sorta wanted to hear was maybe a bit more of the doubled vocal effect on the chorus for more variation from the verses.  Otherwise the vocals sound really good - I like your voice.    All of the instrumentation sounds good too!
 

Apparently I'm the only one who is a fan of the original haha. It's one of those songs that we'll always keep on and sing along to when it comes on the radio during a road trip. (Not as well as you though haha).
 
Great job. Sounds really good.
