I want to thank everybody that has helped me to improve my productions, this last year, by lending me their golden ears and wisdom.  This song is just 2 weeks old, thus, very flexible at this point.  I enjoyed working in X2 and used several of the new goodies that came with it including TH2 and Breverb.

As always, I welcome your input and thank you for taking the time.

10/18/12 Update:  I've taken some of your suggestions and remixed this.  I made changes to the drums to bring them out a bit more in the mix, as well as the bass gtr.  I tood Jonas's suggestion to soften the lead vocal a tad.  I backed off on the delay on the lead vox,  but ever so slightly.  I look forward to your input.

10/19/12 update:  Once again I have taken a few ideas from you and adjusted accordingly.  I just realized that this song is 3 weeks old today,  so it's still on baby food.  Thanks for the nutrition.

Hey Lynn!  Good job bud.  I wish I listened to the radio more so I could compare this to something modern...sounds very retro to me but in a very cool way.  I really like the vocal treatment, and the guitar distortion (fuzz?) is way cool.

I'm still on my laptop unfortunately, but will give this a second listen in my studio tomorrow.

What delay are you using on the vox?

I liked it Lynn. The fuzz tone is not my favorite distortion tone for guitar but you got it to sit well in this mix. I say you did an awesome job!

Your voice sounds great on this, but maybe back off on the echo slightly... also it needs something at the beginning, maybe a drum hit or fill... I know it will be interesting to watch/hear your progress on this one... well done Lynn...

Sounds good! You voice sounds like Clapton. Also it sounds like you like X2.

hi lynn well done a lot hooks here very creative peace this is current and also has a past presence great job x2 plus +1 great mix thanks for sharing eric

Hey Lynn...  I finally got off my laptop and back in the studio for a listen...on real speakers.  Actually I like the delay.. a lot.  And I really like the "neo-retro" vibe you got going. (I just made that up... but you know me-  I like non-standard stuff.)

Now, I'd really like those drums to pop!  Have you tried Sonar's Transient Shaper or Percussion Strip on them?  Very cool tools.  I also find the bass too far down in the mix for my liking.  What do you think of bring it up a couple of dB?

I think you're on to something......  *wink*

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to listen and respond.

Tony, I'm using a preset from Breverb.  It's #9 in the Inverse bank called "Strange and Dark Echo".  I fell in love with it because it reminds me of my beloved Roland Space Echo.  It has that "muddiness" that comes from a tape echo, which is very appropriate at times.  I was surprised to find this in a reverb.  If you want those drums to pop, then pop they will.  I'll bring the bass up on the next pass, too.  Good ears.

Marcus, that fuzz tone comes from the new amp sim in X2, TH2.  I just found it by accident and thought that it worked for this tune.

Frank, I agree with you about the beginning.  When I read your comment, that little dim light bulb went off in my head, and I can hear it, now.  That's why I appreciate your contributions so much.  As for the delay, I'll play with that as this song develops.

Vicente, thank you.  It's quite a compliment to be compared to Eric Clapton, even if it's just his voice.  And, yes, I do like the new X2.  It suits my workflow very much.  I have a number of songs mixed in X1 that will be remixed.

Eric, thank you so much.  I've been enjoying your songs quite a bit lately.

very hooky Lynn - love your voice on this one.  The guitar solo section straight after the chorus is fab but there seems to be the slightest timing issue right at the end of the section.

Hi, Daryl.  On the next pass, I'll go over that section with a fine toothed comb.  Or, it's a simple part to play, so I may just rerecord it.  Good ears, my friend.
