It's not another song from Pistol Pete?
 
But it's not bad?

"Is that how you got the Doppler effect?"
 
No! No... I Actually worked on in for many months with a German chick who was "very" experienced in that department if you know what I mean...

Bass is too strong in the mix. I'm not sure the tone is right for this song. It's kind of harsh/distorted.
 
It seems like you have lots of instruments fighting for the same space.
 
JMO, but I'm a novice.

Thanks Ed, I'll take another stab at the mix, I appreciate your expertise.

Yeah, I made some edits per Ed, pulled the bass back a bit. I can't really make it not growl? It's my fretless Ed :-) It growles :-D By design? I love that bass... I used to hate it? Friggen Fretless? But now that I can play it? It's my favorite bass "by far." If you haven't gone fretless yet? What are you waiting for? It's the way to go IMO.
 
I pulled the bass back (thank you Ed) There are "many" other changes... I think it's one of my best mixes?
 
Yeah there's a lot going on in the middle (spectrum) I can't help that? It's the guitars, the organ, and the vocals... They're all up in there? I spent a few more hours trying to split them out w/panning, EQ, compression and envelopes? Again, I know it's busy in there?
 
There are "several dozen tracks involved here..." So it gets tricky? Especially w/someone like me?
 
But I think it rocks pretty damn hard! (epic...) And I maintained dynamics? (something I tried to do)
 
Especially, thank you to those who gave qualitative input... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!
 
"You're welcome!" ;-) I love this tune, I hope you can enjoy it 1/2 as much as do I.

I think it's true to the original though? And that's what I set out to do "always..." I would like to think if the band listened? They would smile and nod :-) That's my goal when I start out... So if I can end up there? Then I've accomplished what I set out to accomplish.
 
Good time on all the parts, keys, bass, guitar and drums. And vocals.
 
"time will tell us, who is trying to sell us"
Good times indeed.

As long as it doesn't suck? I'm happy :-)

I've never heard the original (CSN never entered my radar really), but I checked it out and you're very, very close with this Robby, excellent version. In fact, some of it sounds better than the original, the guitar tones for example.
Can't really find anything to pick on in the mix, I can follow everything nicely, but I'm not really sure that's important anyway, you have the feel nailed down.

Remix is pretty much spot on Robby.

Thanks James, and Thanks Ed!! It did sound like it was mixed by the bass player ;-)
 
I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please. Unfortunately, reminds me of that first long night in prison :-( 3 hots and a cot, and all the fun you want, or don't? Either way it's going to happen...

Yea -- you got your DAW back!!  I'm not familiar with much of CSN's stuff (do they do the Blues -- a feeble attempt at humour), so I am not encumbered by comparing this to the original.  Having said that -- this sounds doggone good to me.  I like the wide mix that you have used on this.  I also think that your vocals were excellent.  You did all of the instrumentation --- so, indeed you are the Band!
Nice one Robbie!
