Wow, great job all the way around, Chuck.  Super playing, mix sounded great, and I wouldn't even attempt a video like that so I'm totally in awe.  Excellent work, man.

To me the cymbals sound a little too harsh/loud for my tastes, but this is clearly a very well produced, written, recording, and video-recorded song here. Drums are always the hardest thing to record, but they sound wonderful, mainly with the timing. The song structure has good complexity to keep it interesting, yet it's simple enough to follow. Not exactly my genre of rock here, I personally would do without that chorus-y effect on the vocals(verse) (I seem to hear that alot of music posted on forums like this) You deserve more than 50 views for this! -Jeff

Thanks for the info Chuck... again, very cool video...
Well done...

Hey, Chuck,
 
Dynamite song with good songwriting, nice performances on all the instruments, excellent vocals, and the video is really well done!
 
Very cool song, and the mix sounds great, too.
 
Really nice work, brother, have a good one!

Very tight, excellent musicianship, multi-talented!

I have a comment about, I guess, style.

The guitar sound (great tone) and vocal sound are both very aggressive, punk style or near-punk. Next to those two, I'd like to hear more impact from the drums especially, and perhaps more thunder out of the bass.

It was useful to see the performances being made on the video--timing is right on with the drums, but I'd like to see way more power on the strokes.

There are loads of tricks that can be applied in the box to increase the impact of existing tracks if you don't want to re-record. The rhythm section I'd like to hear just as powerful as the guitar and the spirit of the song implies.

I love DIY projects like this.  You continue to impress, Chuck.  I hope you've inspired more DIY video projects.  Well done.

Philz - Thanks Bud, it really wasn't all that hard to make this video.  You could do it for sure man!  The software is pretty intuitive when you are already comfortable with similar systems like Sonar.

Jeff- Thank you for your comments here.  This was my 2nd mix of the song.  I had gotten done with the 1st and it sounded good but I had a boomy almost honking bass sound for which I removed some low-mids to tighten it up & not much going on in the high end.  I had rolled out too much of the high end of the guitars & didn't have enough cymbals up there.  I brought back some brightness on the guitars (but not too much) and added about a 2.5db boost to my overheads from about 16,000 on up.  I know the result here is a little aggressive but that is what I was going for on this one.  The vocal effect here: I used the Vx-64 vocal strip to EQ, comp,De-ess, then used the stereo doubler and a little delay all within the one unit.

Bob- Thanks again man!  

Ultimate- I hear ya, as I mentioned above... I made the decision to pull some low mids from that bass guitar and when I play with my fingers (I usually do) I have to compress the hell out of it to tame it down.  My bass part was more supportive here and not really a "stand out" part on this song so I didn't mind it not punching ya in the face so much like the other instruments.

Lynn- Thank you very much!  I certainly try!!

Chuck - man, where did you get all that talent? You are good. Love the tune.

Awesome stuff Bro!I'm jealous of all the talent!

Clean, Thank you sir! I have been playing for most of my life and at some point or another I have played all of these instruments in one or more bands... Not bragging but I also play a little keys (my worst instrument) & I used to be able to tear up a saxophone once upon a time... Dude Ivey, Thank you for the kind words.
