Storming track Bob! Great riffs and solos, cool vocals. Drum need a re-think here and there as others have mentioned, there's something not quite gelling with the kick drum pattern, like at 0:50 - 1:10.
 
Good to see and hear you again!

Awesome to hear you again brother. All sounds great except I'm hearing a little thing with the drums in that section too. Sure is great to hear that crisp production style again.

love everything about it. as far as suggestion- make the lead louder/ push it more. but i'm jaded as i just love loud guitars in general. awesome the way it is too

Hey Bob
great guitars and vocals as ever. drums letting it down - i'm happy to programme you some drums if you want me to! 
Mark

Great stuff in all of its components. I bet Bob's gonna get in there and tighten up the rhythm. You are majorly talented.
 
Drums need to lock up to guitar, and the vocal slides around in spots, too, but that's less critical.
 
nice one!
-Tom

Nothing new to add to the comments above - nice crisp and punchy mix, the guitar performances are solid and wide, and the vocals sound great.   With a little timing cleanup and bass it'll rock out completely.  
 

Hey Bob, good to see you back.  The tune grabbed me right from the opening riff... classic Bob Oister stuff.  I'll echo Lynn's comment on wanting to hear the vocal a bit thicker and I'd say a bit more prominent too.  Great stuff though... I'm sure you'll get this one fine tuned in short order. 

NOTE: Very sorry for the late replies, guys I've been working 60+ hours a week, I TRULY appreciate any and all input, observations, ideas, suggestions and comments!  Thanks!

Hey, Tony, how are you, buddy, it's really great to see you back around the forum!
 
Thanks so much for checking this out for me and taking time to comment, I greatly appreciate your input, and will definitely be giving the bass a good shot in the arm.
 
I haven't been able to get much time to work in the studio lately because I've been super busy at work, and I feel like I've lost my mixing ears.  I've been squeezing in 45 minutes or an hour of recording/mixing, usually at 3 or 4 in the morning, then nothing for a week or two, then another hour or so, and rinse and repeat, LOL!  So, I'm hoping posting a few songs here on the forum and getting some good input, observations and suggestions will get my ears back on track, along with trying to get some more time to work on my stuff.
 
Thanks again, Tony, have a good one!
Bob

Waltenstein Studios:
 
Hi, Walt, how are you my friend?  Hope you're doing great!
 
Thanks for checking this out for me and for your valuable input and kind words!
 
You've got great ears and I really appreciate your observations!  I'm not sure if you remember about a year or so ago I posted a few mixes and you and a few of our fellow forum friends immediately picked up on some timing anomalies which I was able to fix with a few well placed punch-ins.  Well, lo and behold, not long afterwards I discovered that one of my Sonar Project Templates that I use when starting new projects had three "mysterious" quarter measure and half measure sections where the BPM dropped by 4 beats in the Tempo View!  LOL, Until then I never even knew that the Tempo View existed!
 
I just discovered that this project was started with the same template and tempo map so, boom, same problem!  Because the drums are still midi, I'm wondering if it might be possible to use Audiosnap to slightly adjust the three sections of guitar and bass audio tracks where the timing drift occurs.  I'd normally do punch-ins and re-record the guitar and bass where the 4 BPM slow downs occur, but I'm a little concerned about guitar tone matching and pick attack differences more than a year after I recorded the original tracks.  I haven't really fooled around with audiosnap much, so any ideas or suggestion you or anybody else might have would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks again, Walt, and have a great night!
Bob

Hey, Lynn!  How's it going, brother, hope you're doing well!
 
Thank you so much for giving this a listen and for your great input, observations and suggestions!
 
As I mentioned up above to Tony and Walt, I've been away waaaaaay too long from recording, mixing and this great, helpful forum, and I feel like I lost my "studio ears" again.  Combine that with a myriad of changes to my external listening environments where I usually check my mixes outside the studio (New MP3 Players, 2 New Car Stereo Systems, New Earbuds, etc.), and I'm really in a situation where I feel like I can't trust my own listening skills anymore.  LOL, it actually took me two weeks to get up the guts to post this messy mix because I'm concerned about the overall "tonality" and instrument and vocal EQ and volume level settings.  I love ARC 2, and it really seems to help while in the studio running inside Sonar, but then when I go to listen to stuff here in the Songs Forum or reference mixes on Youtube or Spotify, the tonal difference without ARC 2 running is so drastic that it just throws me in the opposite direction and confuses me more!
 
So anyway, I really appreciate your suggestions for the level of the drums and the toms in particular, as well as the vocal EQ.  I'm hoping that with the input and help of our fellow forum members and a little more time to hone my mixing skills that I'll be able to get back into the swing of things!
 
Thanks and have a great night, Lynn!

Hi Bob,
 
This is promising!
Vox, guitars and drums sound awesome already and the song is already there.
As the others above already mentioned, I'm sure you will handle all the issues and come across with the finished version at one point.
I personally would have waited with that post, and blow us all away with another killer production of yours when completed. Yeaah! 'lookin' forward to that!
 
Rockin' regards,
Daniel

I always like your music.  It's got cajones!  I think Daren right, the lead could come up but you always figure those things out.  I look forward to the final mix!  Good to see the old boys up and working!
