"Interstate Sun"    

https://soundcloud.com/ba..rew/interstate-sun-2013

my "Highway Star" collab/cover, done with Xenophile on keys and drums.....
batsbrew on vox, guitar, bass, mix

this was a fun collab i did back in '07, my first project using Sonar...

just re-mixed this on the weekend, how's it translating?

It translates very well.  It has a very familiar, radio friendly sound.  This would be a great theme song for a movie or TV show.

i think i need to mix the keys hotter....
during verses, turnarounds.....

i think the solo section is fine.....
but it ain't nailed yet...

thanks for commenting....
this is a bit more modern of a mix than the 1st one I tried, which was more emulating the original, which of course was done for vinyl.

 A really well thought out,played and recorded rocker you have here Bat. It would be hard to top Pura Vida and this isn't that but it is good at what it is.

thanks for listening....

pura vida, well, that's a whole nuther ball of wax!
heheh

this is just a cover for fun

This is fantastic gonz. X kicked some butt too - you two sound very good together. Love it.

Great work bat. Really liked the way it picked up again at 5:12. 
Sounded great this end. 

Mark.

Great work.  You captured the spirit of the original.  

Hey Bat, 

Translation - all instruments are clean but bass and kick are down compared to your usual stellar mixing.  The parts are played really well and the vocal is hot.  I think it needs more energy in the mix.  The guitars are very wide but not as big sounding as you do.  When I play it soft, I don't get the drive.  When I crank it loud - it comes together.  Again, love the playing.

Nice job - I like the mix.  Excellent musical performances all around.  The mix sounds great to me.
