Hey there Phil, it's at the top of my soundcloud page,
 
Soundcloud.com/rockinrobby
 
Called Demons.
 
Really interested in comments about the mix. Thanks! I'm probably going to do some more mix mods (at least once) as it feels a little high heavy to me yet. But I'm using different tools and techniques here, so I'm learning.

Remix 2, Independence day? I did too much to cover... Lots of envelopes, panning and EQ and some MB compression? (wanted the drums and bass to sit better)  I redid the drums to fit better tempo wise, and helped them sit better in the mix? So many other things... I think it's a better mix? Maybe even pretty good. My goal is to be better at this shiz... (the mixing)
 
Lots w/Ozone5 as well. We can always improve...

Hey Robby it all sounds great!   Your son puts down some great vocals ---- just like the old man.  What a great moment to be able to share together!!!


Thanks Freddy :-) I'm trying to get him geared up on the next project (I don't want to loose momentum with him!)

No, I listened again and it's not really that close :-( I hear many more things that need to be tweaked. Please refrain from comments on the current mix, I'll put up a new one next week with more work on it on my part. For everyone who's commented so far, thank you, it will be back and better next week. Happy Independence Day!! Except for those in Great Britain, in which case I say, it looks like you Britain off more than you could chew with us colonists?   To us a crown is something that goes on your tooth...

Hey, not too shabby for an 11 year old!
 
Mix-wise I think it's OK, but the drums do sound like they're stuck in the "no highs" riff that leads into the choruses on the original version.  IOW, the high end should kick in more when the instruments come on.

I fixed some of the timing issues with the drums, they're still not perfect, but they are much better. I also added some punch to that kick and incorporated some of the suggestions :-) He's picked a new one to keep me busy

I ordered some new cans last week and they came in today! Ultrascone 900s... They really helped me hear and hopefully clean up some of the bottom end which when I listened on the new cans was a mess... I mix in the cans, so good ones are a must.

Hey, Robbaaaaaaaaaay!!!
 
How's it going, bro, hope you're doing great!
 
Excellent work on this cool cover with your son, the kid is a real chip off the old block, and you should be VERY proud of him!
 
He's also very lucky to have such a talented father to record with and learn from.  You boys are making memories that will last a lifetime and having a lot of fun in the process.
 
Super job guys, great work by both of you!
Bob

It's the final mix.  I hope you all enjoy it?   (headphone mix btw?)
 
There are some who will and some who won't? If they've been waiting for the final mix? And I'm pretty sure they haven't? Well I have it about as good as I can get it? Which the boy and I think is pretty darn good?  It takes several tries as you know? To get something worthy? It's work...
 
I'm sure it could be better? Quite sure based on what I've learned thus far?  But it's not half bad? At the top, Demons.

The boy makes me proud? And I hope when he looks back at it? He feels the same way...
 
I'll thank all of those who took the time to comment individually. Thanks to all who take the time to do so, many do not? So for those who do? I am especially thankful. 
 
As for the rest of you? Jesus loves you? And I'm trying...
