I finished this mix right at the end of December.  Couldn't resist the sound effects at the end.  Might be a tad bass shy.  I have treated my walls with acoustic foam since then but wanted to get your feedback on this before I remix.  Hope you enjoy.

Nope, mix sounds spot on to me. I did indeed enjoy. This has a summer party fun feel to it that kinda made me feel at home... dunno if that makes any sense.

Thanks much Shad!  Glad you liked it.  It is fun loving.  The canons were tongue in cheek so to speak (is that possible?).  Anyway, I appreciate that the mix sounds good to you.

I like the super clean arrangement and the way it lets the mix breathe. 

I also like the song form.

Maybe push the bass forward during the guitar solo? Something happens and the mix seems to step backward during the solo. Seems like it should pop forward just a bit.

Hi Mike, 

Thanks for the nice comments.  

I guess all the musicians stepped back when I started playing the solo!  Yikes, I need to work harder on my chops!  

I will check that out.  Maybe it was my master stereo compression doing that.  Much appreciated.

It is bass shy for sure.

But I do like the "Hurts So Good" type energy.

I would trim the vocal eq by a few dbs at 600hz

Very Cool production... there's nothing shy about the bass from here... sounds great... 

James: Thanks for your listen and comment.  I will look at the vocal cut too.

Hi notnat!  Much thanks for the nice comment and feedback.

Did anyone like the canon?  That was my favorite part.  

Kicks ass on this laptop.
