Going back a few years for this one... I wrote this tune about 3 years ago after my girlfriend left me...the second time.
 
I was the co-pilot on recording this one.  My brother recorded it in Sonar 8.5 and also played bass.  The rest is me.  And I STILL don't know any singers, nor do I own AutoTune... so I have to make do with my own voice unfortunately.   LMAO  Should be good for a laugh today anyway.
 
The original mix wasn't great, and was sort of "scooped"- very boom and sizzle... so I threw it into X2 this morning, and with some ProChannel and a healthy dose of Ozone 5, this is what I came up with:

I like it... "in yer face guitars"... loud & rude...  Vocals sound fine to me... BGVs may be a little off, but work perfectly for the song... good work Tony...

Yep... a little pitchy on the BGVs for sure...  LOL.

I love this song and the energy it projects.  It's bright and jangly, but it fits with the mood of the song.  I wouldn't worry too much about your vocal;  it sounds good.  I'm still impressed with the song you did of the loops that came with X2.  It took me most of a day just to download that package, but I can hardly wait to get into it.

Thanks Lynn...  and I'm glad that thing helped somebody!  LOL

I never thought about "rude"... very cool adjective!  I'll take that as a compliment.   :-)

 Didn't hear the first mix but this one is coming through very well here. The guitars are up front and so are the vocals and that makes this tune IMO. I wish I could say I never met one of those kind of chicks....I can relate to the message in it too. Nice work Tom.

Starise- Yeah, all I had to work with was the original stereo wav master on this one.  I wrote 3-4 tunes because of that gal...  LOL.. Good song inspiration I suppose, but tough on the spirit.  Got all that behind me now though!  Thus, songs like "Clouds On Fire".

Very interesting song.  I guess country rock works for a description but it seems to have a lot more to it.  Can't explain what I mean but I like this song.  Hey, if we can survive those gals leaving we tend to end up with some good tunes.  I have one experience that inspired 3 songs.  The first one was Out Of Love which we posted a while ago.  I just couldn't sing that one right so.....  I have two more I want to do this year.  They're written so they just need to be recorded.  I feel your pain AND your inspiration.  The good thing is I have a great wife for the last 28 years.  I only finished one song about her and it's not really finished.  I think that's good.  Ha!!  Nice work here, buddy.
