Hi,

I've got a new song out - made with SONAR X3.
 
It's called "Complications" - you can check it out here:
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12961224

It features the usual suspects:
Real Guitar (now using S-Gear amp sims)
Superior Drummer
Trilian Bass
and featuring my "Lap Steel" player from OrangeTree Samples

Any comments/observations/declarations graciously received ;-)

Nice work John! The only critical comment I have is some of the bends sound too much that they are from a keyboard rather than actual bent strings, but that is really only in a few places. Otherwise, everything sounds pretty good. Mix is great, if a little narrow.
 
Regards,
Dan
 

It sounded very good. Great playing and melodies. Mix sounded balanced.

I like this! Very good drum sound. The mix sounded pretty decent to me. I like the breakdown around 1:50, funky! Cool song.

Thanks for taking the time to listen guys! And for the comments.

Dan,
Those are real guitar bends ;-)
Only the "slide" in the B section is samples - but that doesn't really have bends...
 

Perhaps your bends are so accurate that Dan thought that they are from a keyboard. Just a thought, though my thoughts are sometimes a bit stupid.

I find that hard to believe ;-)

Hey, so are mine ;-)

There are lots of positive things about elements of this mix, the drums are nice and solid.  The thing that let it down for me and my furry ears was the overall sound staging it all got a bit confused with right centre panning.
 
Good tune, nice playing, needs a little attention how it all glues together in the sound stage.
 
Thanks for sharing. 

Hmm, well then I was wrong.
 
Like I said, it was only 2 or 3 that I thought sounded off. Must have been tired or something.
 
Regards,
Dan

Dan - I was just checking what you meant. Surely my bends aren't perfect ;-)
 
Wookiee - thanks for that observation. Dan says it's narrow, are you saying there's too much panned to the right? I will admit, that I just "make it up as I go" re: panning. I just try to keep everything separate - and not all in the centre.
 
The *real* problem might be - that there's too much going on in general ;-)
