I LOVE it, guys! Great job by both of you.

This is great Spacey! Mind if I give you some of those pointers you were looking for? I'll go easy on you, I promise. :)

The first thing that sticks out to me is....I'd of loved to have heard that acoustic mic'd. Just a pet peeve of mine and I know you weren't going for perfection here, but the lined in acoustic type sound just ain't for me. If it's mic'd, my apologies...it just sounds DI or acoustic pup-like. Good sound though for what it is.

Bass is definitely a bit too boomy for my taste and could use a high pass and maybe a slight bump at about 2.5-3k to make the transients in the execution come out a bit more.

Kick drum is definitely boomy if it exists...something comes in that appears to be a kick of sorts at one point...or maybe that's the low end on the bass thumping from 1:24?

Vocals are beautifully executed. Two issues I hear though. The first is you could probably low pass a bit on them as they seemed to have a bit too much air and sizzle in them. The other issue is....I can hear the vocal punch-in spaces. They come in as little clicks and excessive breaths that should either be eliminated in my opinion, or faded in if you want to keep some of the breathiness. But the punch clicks are apparent to me...so I'd definitely remove those.

But the timbre's on everything and levels are really good and of course the performances on everything are awesome! Definitely an acceptable mix if you totally discard everything I've said. A great attempt considering your time off as well as using a totally new program. Nicely done...thanks for sharing and I hope you do so more often. :)

I remember this tune.... nice cover on the lads .

Thank you Shad, Scotty, Herb and Danny.

Special thanks to Shad and Danny for suggestions/tips.

Danny you hit on issues that I sure recognize too. I didn't mic the acoustic
and sure don't have excuses as much as reasons. Cheap guitar, direct and
(hate to admit) first time with a capo...man the first recording I had the thing
on upside down and Robbie let me know something was bad wrong LOL.
At least I have a pretty good acoustic now but not set-up to mic. Definately an
area for major improvements needed.

The bass and bass drum...well that's on me.
To top it off I pulled a stupid too. I messed up on keeping track of my versions and
got sidetracked correcting a mistake of bumping one of the guitar parts out of time...didn't
notice until after I posted it so correcting the guitar part I saved wrongly and that eliminated what I think was better eq on bass and bass drum....geeze. Of course I don't
know if those settings were any better.

I'll try to make the suggested changes and repost.

Again, thanks for all everybody.

Nicely done fellers, sounds good and clear to me.

Great cover job and adds it's own vibe.   Mix sounds pretty good, nothing sounds out of place to me.  Well, done and nice remix.

Daryl

Wonderful just Wonderful!

Thank you James, Daryl and Kev!

Here it is with changes made...also posted link in OP.

Bass, bass drum, vocal and some on right guitar...mostly eq/volume tweaks.

Had my first bad trip with X2a. I had to reset the configuration file. Lost all audio but only
in Sonar for unknown reason.

I like this one better overall. Still would like the vox panned.. but... that is just me.

One that all guitar players learned at some point, takes me back. Warren's vocals add a distinctive flavor.
