you can download the 16 bit 44.1 khz wav file if you'd like to hear it full bandwidth (download button)
 
this is the 2nd song i've mixed using the IK Media ARC2 software.
(room correction software, used across the master bus during mixing)
a tale about the hazards of Moonshine consumption.
heheh
not not necessarily autobiographical

Taylor 414 auditorium, Seagull Artist Mosiac, custom USACG Strat, mesa boogie mark2b,
shure KSM44, A Designs Audio MP-1, DBX MC-6 compression,
Sonar 6PE, Wavelab for very mild mastering.
looking for any comments on TRANSLATION thru other playback systems.

The new moonshine grows in the soil but the old fashioned stills are still popular in this area.....every now and then they seem to bust some hapless farmer with a still in his old tobacco barn.   The show on TV about the moonshiners is filmed in a town not far from where my daughter is living in Virginia.  Those guys are buffoons though. Actors....
 
cool tune, and really nice job on recording those acoustics.

Really nice piece and great acoustics Bat!!  I almost get a CSN vibe from this number.  Everything from vocals-instrumentation-production really works.  Excellent job.  Hey, maybe it could be featured on that show that Herb mentioned?

Sounded great to me Bat on my Hi-Def headphones. I don't have my Truth Monitors hooked up at the present time and didn't want to listen to this thru my 5.1 stereo surround sound set up (used mostly for watching movies in 5.1 surround sound) because you most likely didn't record it that way, so it wouldn't be a true listen. Love the song and the sound of the instrumentation and the vocals sounded perfect. Another great piece from the bat cave.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Nice. Everything blends together very nicely. All instruments and vocal sound very good, but I'm most impressed with the acoustic guitar recording/sound. The bass fills in things nicely, too.

Sounds very good Bat.  I would love to play live drums on this sometime.  I can't tell if the very low end is a shade too boomy or not.  I am not in a critical listening environment but I have heard your stuff many times before and this is like your normal stellar production.

Works nicely here on my Event 20/20's, nice even sound across the spectrum.
 
Thanks for sharing your Moonshine experiences
 
I drank Potato whisky once did not remember much about it.

Well I have never drank any of it. I seen a guy light it once and that was enough to persuade me not to drink it 
 
The playing as always is hard to poke at. You can tell you have chops and good sounding guitars. The  vocals have that nice Eagles blend to them. How are you getting those harmonies? The old fashioned way or are you going through something? It doesn't sound artificial at all.
 
I just bought a new pair of ear buds to take on the go. Supposedly they compensate for bass loss that you get on a typical set of ear buds. What I'm getting in these is great, but I can't vouch for how they are translating the music yet.
 
Nice job Bat.
