thanks for listening.....

As good as many Rush songs. I have no higher compliment! Love it.  
 
Bass playing and bass line are slammin!
 
Your vocal in spots is treated with delay sent to a side - you might consider playing with this delay time, or lessening the volume of the delayed vocal, it kind of obscures the lead vocal.
 
Guitar solo at the end is mega.
 
nice job!  -Tom

thanks for the critique, tom....
 
the delay was set exactly the way i wanted it, to give it the spacey quality and to be slightly off time.
i guess that's just the way i hear it in my head.
 
 
typically, i spend a LOT of time dialing in the length of delay, if it is stereo or not, and then the amount of repeats and length per side, i'm a fan of off-time delay and having the left and right not be equal.
 
that, after years of experimenting with those settings.....
 

Guitarhacker
That was cool.
 
Enjoyed the playing..... first song  of the day.....
 
Your playing always inspires me...

glad you dig it, hacker.....

+1 , that is a tremendous bass line, worthy of Tony Levin, just fantastic, it really draws you straight into the track. It also nails the groove down and gives you all that space to move around over the top - one of your best Bats, love it!

 
thanks james, 
the bass track was created in Nuendo, by my buddy crispy.......
i'm experimenting with some new tunes using this kind of bass approach, 
but played in real time, i almost have it dialed in!

Intense jam, riffing and belting, creative vocal layering, signature Bat.  Love it.

appreciate the comments, waltenstein.....
yes, it was intense during tracking....
i was pretty much trippin'

Bass is awesome, vocals are perfect, and guitars are top notch, as always. Really do like that bass a lot...

Drums are slightly buried in a few spots, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. They come through just fine elsewhere.

Regards,
Dan

glad you dig that bass, that's my buddy crispy doing it via programming...
don't ask me how!
LOL

it draws you in! Fabulous!

ha! you get it.......
getting drawn in, that was the whole concept.....
especially for the headphone listener, this mix has a lot going on.
to draw you in.
hopefully!

Awesome. Downloaded the wave (try flac sometime) and have been messing with it. I got drawn in too. Trippin indeed.
It's all good. Going for headphones next.

Top Notch job ! Yes that bassline certainly draws you in...great vocal treatment and great performance on guitar too. I went for the headphone listen as well as my studio monitors, it works great on both, theres a lot going on in there but it is all cohesive. Excellent !
 

Very nice and I like, it has a lot of those hallmarks of a Bat production lots happening but still space around everything to let them breathe.
 
Nice one Bat

thanks rimshot,
the wav is definitely the dealio.
but remember.....
i started with a 320kbps mp3 file for all the backing tracks (everything except vox and guitars) and had to tweak it a lot to get the fidelity up...
so, it still sounds lo fi to me, but works with this kind of thing.
great in the cans, you can make out more of what's going on.
you'll notice the kick drum is all over the place, but almost never on the one.

thanks kiosk, yeah, like i replied to rimshot, the original mix of backing tracks was done well enough that everything has it's place.
i had worked on this project several years before i finished it, and my collaborator had disappeared!! literally...
so i used what i had.

thanks wookie..
i think, that using the lo fi mp3 for the basis of the majority of the tracks,
then converting it to a 24 bit wav file, and finishing the mix in 24 bit,
allowed the guitars and voice to really stand out,
maybe that has something to do with the end product.
but i will say this now, DON'T DO WHAT I DID!!!!
LOL
