First off, I want to thank all the people here who have taken the time to listen and offer their ears and insights for my songs over the last year or two.  I've learned to count on good advice here, which really helps me because I'm doing this alone, in a basement, and I rarely count on the opinions of family and friends.

I'm putting together a compilation of 12 or 13 songs, and I'm at the point where I'm making my final moves.  Over the course of the next few months, I'll be putting some of these songs up for comments, most of which I've previewed here in the past and remixed due to your various suggestions.  In all cases, my songs have improved for having trusted you.

This song "Flying On New Wings" has been here before, but I have changed a synth sound, and the drums went from Session Drummer to Jamstix.  I rebalanced the vocals, and, hopefully, it all works better now.  This will be the last appearance for this song on this forum, but I'm still open to suggestions, as the project is still open.

I like this Lynn. Vocals sound really strong with a good tone too. Subjective...but I'd probably bring the drums up a bit and maybe add a bit more low end push to the kick. The drums seem to be the lowest in the mix to me...yet EVERYTHING is audible at all times which is a good thing.

Vocals with the back-ups at the same time seem to over-power the mix a bit to my ears, but still...nothing gets totally lost...just a bit less audible.

Last, you're gonna kill me, but I'm still hearing those little click sounds from time to time. I almost wasn't going to say anything but felt I'd not be honest if I didn't mention it.

Love the guitar tone by the way....killer licks and that tone is so warm and creamy. :) Really enjoyed the tune...nice job brother. :)

Cool tune. Is that you on guitar? I thought you were a keyboard guy. I agree with Danny about the drums, but I usally have mine too loud...so what do I know! I really like the song and the over all sound quality. I hope to be up to your level someday.

Very cool tune... Lynn...
the soulful vocal performances are outstanding...
If I were producing this... I would start by lowering the lead guitar voume, and the vocal volume ... I noticed when the guitar solo came in, its volume stayed the same... that's maybe where it should be for the solo, but bring it down during the vocals, and then you can bring down the vocal a bit too...
I would also spend some time on the guitar tone... but that's a personel pref. thing... just seems a little brittle to me... 
When's the album coming out..? I'll buy it...
 
edit: funny but when I started typimg this there were no other comments...
I wish I could Type as fast (and Pick) like Danny and Clint...

Ain't it amazing how we all hear things differently? Man, you must HATE my tone. LOL! I've got way more highs going on. Hahaha! I know...ya feel sorry for my burned out metal butt so ya don't say anything. LOL! :)
 
Don't listen to this guy Lynn, he thinks he's Frank Tanton or something! Sheesh, the nerve of some people I tell ya. :-Þ

  Awesome Lynn I'm a fan of your guitar style and vocals. Songs are always nicely conceived and performed.

  Or just bring the drums up relatively ;-) Edit: As an answer to Frank. The quote doesn't work for Firefox I have noted.
