Hi all!
Here's my 1st tune using Platinum.  It's kind of an urban jazz thing that I was trying to showcase the Heavyocity DM-307 Drums module (the Urban kit) and also the iZotope Breaktweaker beatmaker plugin. There's also some Addictive Drums 2 electronic drums laying down the backbeat. 
 
The "grit" you will probably notice is from the Urban Kit drums...not clipping.  LOL
 
Guitars used were a Gibson Les Paul Standard for the distortion guitar, an Ibanez AFJ-95 jazz guitar, and a Gibson ES Les Paul (hollow) for the clean lead.
 
Hope you like it.  Comments welcomed.

As usual, I have a "surprise ending" on this one as in several of my other tunes.  Wait for it....

Very nice Tony - sounds like you had fun making this - drums sound great and great playing as usual

Thanks Daryl.  It was fun...despite a few computer/Sonar glitches.  The DM-307 is a hoot all by itself!
 
 

Nice all around pro sound on this! Great job!
 
Regards,
Dan
 

Smooth licks.  I don't get into the songs forum as much as I used to but decided to drop in and have a listen. I'm glad I did.
 
There's not a lot to critique here. It's all executed rather well.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  :-)  

Very smooth all the way around. I might push the bass up just a hair, that would be about it mix-wise. 
 
the ending was completely baffling. Didn't see that coming! Where'd everybody go??!?
 
cheers,

Slick production, very nice lead guitar work. I like how the end wounded down (slowed), like someone rested their hand on the turntable.
 
Only two minor criticisms: The crash seems a little too loud at 3:38, although that might be what you intended, that crash does sound great. The bass needs to be lifted a little in most parts however, there are bass peaks here in there so watch out you don't exceed those peaks further. I would prefer to use a volume envelope to keep those peaks as is whilst slightly bringing up the softer parts.

Cool groove, slick melodies, nice wide open mix. Enjoyed this!
Best regards,
Daniel

Tom and Greg... I really appreciate those critiques.  I struggled with the bass a bit, as it was an experiment of mine to use 2 totally different bass types in the song...  the "verses" have a stereo/delayed bass (Zeta3), and the "breaks" use a very mono centered one., yet the frequencies are similar.  Was a little hard to balance them and maintain the stereo effect and not sound like 2 songs joined together.
 
Greg- can you explain the term "volume envelope" a little for me?  Not sure I know what you mean.
I think that crash came from Battery 4... and I'll bet I forgot to go back and lower its volume in the kit.... I find most of Battery's samples to be pretty hot right out of the box.
 
Daniel-  thanks for the comments!
