Notnot, 

Much better with sax down.  I would bring it down 1.5 db more!  Not kidding but it doesn't matter.   I like the song, feel, and playing.  Sounds good over here.  I wish I could play guitar like you.

Smooth .. 
Sax is a lovely instrument (used in the right way) ... 
Was just thinking yesterday how i love a subtle harmonica (was thinking of a del amitri song), and how its not so often the instrument of choice these days ...   I think i heard a nice subtle harmonica in there ... 
Enjoyed it ..  Thanks

Rimshot... Thanks for the advice... I really appreciate the helpful feedback...

Guitarpima... thanks for listening, and glad you liked... sorry if I offended you before... no more ideological arguments from me, here... I really do like comparisons to The Dan, better than that other man...
 
Tim... all kidding aside, I really value your ears and advice... I do hope you have something plugged into that little speaker jack on your MacBook... 
I did lower the sax volume a bit more on the SoundCloud mix... Thanks again

What sax? I cant hear it - might be deaf or so - like the song and it could pass as a medium song on the album.

well, thanks Frank. And I value you/yours. 

Ok, I'll put on my serious face now. Wait, um, er, ouch, ahhhhhhh, ugh, ...,,,.,,..,,,.... OK. Ready..

I think it sounds much more in the sound pocket now as I can hear the rest of the track peaking in and out around the sax. 
I still think it's a little loud actually though. How much have you come down since the first posting?

Ya know, people tell me all the time to turn up my lead instruments so maybe it's just an odd way that I hear things. But, I like to hear everything as ONE sort of. It's the listener's job to pull out of a mix what they want to.
er, sumethin like that.

And yes, still on the MacBook. I've found that if it isn't right on the Mac, it isn't right. It's my lowest common denominator I guess.

I also noticed some level variations in the sax that sounded more like the player was moving around too much or something. He is a pretty great player BTW. Must be fun workin it.. 

Anyway that's all nittpicking to a point I guess. It's all wonderful. 
You can send me a track mix and the sax and I'll show you what I'd hear If'n you want.

Thanks Frank..

The hi-hat seems to really stand out to me. May be appropriate for this kind of music though. Kind of a personal preference thing.

Some of it doesn't melt together for me, but again it's a PP thing. (Bapu is laughing right now).

For example, the guitar solo toward the end has a touch more bottom end than I would have there ... but it's all personal preference stuff.

It's a good tune no doubt. :)

Thanks for the feedback and the help earlier Brian...

Thanks for that Eco, but you may have listened to the wrong tune... The sax is on the second song... "Never Was"

Thanks again Tim... I think I lowerd the sax maybe 2.4 dB altogether from the first mix... please do me a favor, and plug in some earbuds or phones and let me know how it sounds then... I just can't imagine anything sounding right from built in laptop speakers... 

Thanks a lot Bub... I'm hip to the HH... it is a pp...   
but I do agree, it may be a bit too loud... I didn't notice the guitar solo thingy... I'll check that out... Thanks for the good ears...

Great work as usual Frank. I miss your voice though.

"Thanks for that Eco, but you may have listened to the wrong tune... The sax is on the second song... "Never Was""
 Exactly you mean BrianB for sure.
