Hi, Glenn, I love this song.  Your voice cuts through the mix very well which makes the lyrics all that more  important.  The bass guitar is very strong, but it has a thick tone and presence that sometimes overwhelms other elements of the mix.  But, the part is terrific.  The drums are nice and thick, too, but in a good way.  It sounds balanced between left and right on my sytem, quite well.  Well done.

Thanks Lynn. Good point about overwhelming bass. I admit I was having too much fun with that track.

Having not read any comments* my first reaction is things sound over compressed or kinda distorted or something.


I like the song but I think the production is getting in the way. Cool bass line/tone though. Drums got a little grating near the end.

Yes I don't really have a confident handle on compression/limiting yet. I mainly do it to get volume so likely I'm overworking the plugs. 
I try to keep them all under 4 DB and do a series of them rather than overworking one. I do like the Concrete limiter and that might be the main problem.
Thanks.
I have managed to keep the PC orange and red flashing to very occasional with gain on the tracks but I guess it needs something else. I don't know what tho.

Hey Glenn- Great little tune.... interesting and different.  Loved the groove you got going... bass part was very cool.  Nice vocal too.

My comments on the production should be weighed in context of the fact that I was listening on my pc speakers, but given that, the mix sounded somewhat 'hot' to me (i.e.- a little over compressed).  

Overall though a great listen for me.

Thanks Phil.
I admit I haven't listened on other speakers yet. 
It's good practice that I don't get around to.
I haven't figured out how to get the levels up without over compressing I guess.
I do cut as many unneeded freq's as I can think of.
Thanks again.
Glenn

To all, What is it you hear that sounds over compressed?
I don't think I know what to listen for yet.

I like the begining guitars. makes you wait for whats coming next. I like this song. Nice groove and feel. The vocals are the icing on the cake. I thought the distortion was on purpose. Kinda like it.
