Here is a new prog-ish tune I did over the holidays. Lots of stacked guitars. I finally caused my DAW to choke with the track counts, but it was fun to do.

Wow! What can I say...I would be very proud to have produced something like this. Impressive piece. I like the bass a lot and the layering of guitars...How many tracks did you have on this?

Thanks Clint! At the point where Sonar started dropping out, I was in the low 90's. I had to do several submix exports before I could do a final mix, lol.

I usually have like 10 or 12...Hahaha!

This is a super nice song! Mix sounded good.

Hi Dan,
  I was wondering when your latest track would turn up. Well worth the wait. :) Production is  at a very high level (again). I recall that you used a plugin on another track for getting that awesome tightness between the drums and bass. I'm guessing you are using it again on this track, What is the name of the plugin?
 
One thing that I'd say is missing from this type of track is a few faster lead guitar runs. :)
 
Top stuff.

Always look forward to hearing your work Dan, and this is superb. First thing that hit me was that excellent build up at around 1:09, real goosebump moment there. Everything I enjoy trying to do myself is in here, melodic guitar leads, atmospheric synths and a good groove. Great stuff.

12? That's just the drum tracks alone, lol...

Thank you Gus! Well, on this one, the drums and bass were EQ'd in a way that I didn't need to use it in this mix. It is called Trackspacer, by Wavefactory. I layered a deep and mid kick together, then EQ'd the bass to fit between and above the two kicks.
 
Yeah, faster lead runs are not really my forte, though I had to do a few on my last one. I just don't think that way when I'm searching for a guitar melody. I need to remember to do that on my next guitar-led song.
