Here's a new one I've been working on for awhile. It features my new "Rock Solid" Ez Drummer exp and all my new shiny Fab Filter plugins. Any and all thoughts, ideas or critiques on the mix would be appreciated as always.

Hey great vibe!
I had a hard time hearing the lead though. But of course I'm listening at work with crummy desktop speakers.

Nice strat guitar sounds and playing. You did do a great job on this and it sounds pretty awesome. Nice arrangement, instrumentation and mix. Nicely  done.

Sounds great.
 
I like all the mixing up of the guitar parts and the strong full toned chunky rhythm motif sounded really nice too.
 
It seems simple, (in a good way) really lively, and very fresh.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
best regards,
mike

Thanks for the comments. The lead is back in the mix on purpose so the rhythm guitars won't get buried. I hope to improve my listening environment in the future...so your thoughts on the overall mix would be a huge help.

I'm a fan of the idea of keeping the lead in the mix the way you have.
 
I think sometimes it helps emphasize the quality of the song, as a song, on the whole. You have to have a pretty good song for it to work and I think you made all that happen.

  Thanks for taking the time to listen. I hope to get caught up with all of your guys songs and links this weekend. I truly respect the talent on this forum more than any other resource I have.
  For the Ez Drummer users I wanted to add that I used the Gretsch set from Rock Solid on this one. I had to change the mix a lot. Toontrack had way too much kick and too much room mic for my taste. Quite a bit of work went into the drums. I'm trying to learn how to do a better job with them.
