Enjoyed the listen. The guitars sounded great to me.  

Thanks for the comments. I realized what was going on with the toms. Since I write in GM, AD mapped it different since AD only uses four toms. Some of the hits were rim shot hits so I remapped and rewrote the fills. I also figured out how to make the guitars sound more chunky. I'll repost the new mix when I can.
 
I appreciate all the feedback!

I love this song, Robert!  Your arrangement took me on a winding path that I wasn't expecting.  This is a throwback to an era that gave us songs that were larger than life, as this song is.  By the time I heard this, you apparently fixed the drums because I was nothing but impressed with them.  The sound of your voice in this song is quite sinister sounding, and I love it!  It's always good to hear a song that doesn't sound like paint-by-numbers, and this fills the bill.

Thanks for those very kind words Lynn. I have fixed the drums, and did that turn out to be a nightmare, but I haven't updated the mix yet. It would have been easier to fix them had XLNaudio decided to add another tom to the kits but they left it at four. I've since made other changes as well the bass being much tighter. I found a little gem. A free VST at Boz digital labs called, "Bark of the dog". You can focus a bit of oomph at a certain frequency and give it more body or punch depending on what you want.
 
Plus, I'm taking more time in between listens so I don't miss things as much.

I think I heard the last mix...great composition and song!! I think the drums could use just a bit more umph and clarity as could the mix..maybe just a bit of sheen on it...good stuff though for sure! I had a situation recently where I mixed on a set of monitors that were too mid range forward and this caused me to make a mix that was mid range lacking.

nice song and arrangement... me likes

Thanks for the comments. I still haven't posted the new mix yet. I've been giving it time in between working on it so I don't get complacent with it. I should repost it early next week.
 
Thanks for listening!

Nice playing Robert.
I like the song a lot.
I'd like to hear the drums a bit more "upfront", but that's just me. Also like to hear your vocal a little louder.
Maybe just a bit more panning on everything would be the ticket.
But those are just personal preferences on my part, everybody likes things differently.
Overall it's a killer piece of work!

lol..this is a very strange tune...in a good way...i felt a bit of Zappa coming on now and again. I wish I could sit in while you were doing the vox work cuz I think I'd push you to take a few more chances and come out of your comfort zone...but I think that'll come over time....
 
nice job!

Thanks for the comments. I think I got rid of the boxy feel of the drums and they are a bit more in your face. Just a bit though. As for my vocals, I can't sing so I came up with the next best thing. lol!  I appreciate the Zappa comment. I can't say I've ever heard more than 2 or 3 Zappa tunes ever but I know a lot of players hold him in high regard.
 
A remix is coming but I keep finding things that need ironed out.
