but X3 is doing more than I know what to do with it.
 
First project after a couple of years so I wrote it with the intentions
of learning how to mix sounds that I think I know how they should sound.
Wanted a project that may possibly be worth asking Danny to do his magic
and help me learn. Almost burned out on it...out of shape at the least.
 
"I don't know" - almost like starting over and open to hard truths.
 
 

Mmm, liking this Michael. Bit of a Satriani vibe to the main lead, nice tone. Actually, lots of tasty tones throughout this. Cool breakdown to the shuffle there, neatly done. Drums are very well done, wish I could get 'em like that. Love that clean riff, really infectious.

 
With my furry ears I doubt if there is much I could say that would mean anything.
 
My ears enjoyed it.
 

As James said, the drums are super on this.  The guitar part is tasty, and the tone is just right.  This song may very well be done.  Good job.

Welcome back Michael, glad you could join us again. Been a long time. The song is just awesome with some nice sounding guitars and some nice riffs. The drums are spot on and sound great. Guess you have been getting a work out with X3, but I don't think you will have any problems from the sounds going on in this one. Great job on this.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

James- thanks for listening and the kind words. I was really expecting a different reaction...I had reached a point that I didn't trust my judgment.
 
Wookiee- LOL...you got the furry and I think I got the fuzzy.
 
Lynn- thank you. I appreciate your time and kind words.
 
John- thank you. X3 has been a real treat. I sure don't know much about it-  Recording is real simple because I don't know (or really care ) to use everything it will do- so it's nice just to be able to put something down again. And man John! You guys just have bottomless wells of creativity! I haven't been posting but I've been listening to you guys. (I think ya'll know that though)

Spacey,
 
Nice one.  Reminds me of the Allman Brothers, or what they might be doing today if Duane was around yet.   Very enjoyable listen and well mixed.
 
Regards

Cool tune Michael... love it when it goes in a shuffle... sounds better the more I listen...

Good to see you again - I hope you are doing well.
 
Your playing sounds really nice on this. The song is great - love it.

markno999- thank you! I would never have thought that and appreciate the thought.
 
notnat- thank you Frank. Every part of this was written as "things" - not sure how to explain other than all the parts were for sounds I wanted for learning what I can about mixing. I wasn't trying to record a "tune" so much to show playing skills (which are almost gone) or just a great tune. I sure reached a point that I couldn't trust my ears or skills to do any better than what it is.
I wanted it to be/contain the instruments that IF I could get Danny to give me lessons I may be able to retain the information. That much I think I achieved.
 
CLEAN- thank you Mark. It's great to have something to post again. It's just been a pleasure to be able to record again and me be the biggest issue.  Sure appreciate the kudos and at times sure wished I could have blamed the software for the problems I had LOL.
