People don't realize how big this thing was... 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald

729 feet long. Went down with all hands in a gale. Probably split in two.

I think this will benefit from some snap treatment, there are definite timing anomalies on your acoustic. Sounds good though.

Thanks Wook, Shawn, Eric & B19

Yeh Im fighting the Snap thing trying to figure out if its Audio Snap prob or a setting in Prefs.
Cant get it to hit on the transients like I would like to clear that up. I do hear them as well and am trying to get some help advise upstairs with it.

Hey Mike, sorry I haven't got around to listening to this until now.  I hadn't forgotton though and thank you for your message the other week, it's nice to know I was missed.

Ok this is interesting, I don't know what you are trying to achieve.  It all sounds nice, although I would say it not the sort of sound I would aim for, the acoustic is a little clangy and I can hear the audio snap in places too.  Ok the voice has just come it, now I am likeing it more.  I know of Mr Lightfoot all though he does bring back bad memories of my mothers deadbeat husband.

Ok it sounds really good, although the clangy acoustic guitar is somewhat off puting and it doesn't seem to go anywhere, this would be my only complaint.

Nice work though.

Peace Ben

I wouldn't know how to help with the mix, but I really enjoyed the playing.  Good to hear this song again.  :)

Thanks Janet

I love this song and was hoping to do it some sort of Justice with my limited ability  

I just updated it today but am unable to crank up my monitors to check it, not sure but I think the drums might be hitting a smidge hard  


I did do alot of adjusting on the HPF on the bass and the kick.  Kick has some wetness to it I believe causing a little muddyness.  Not sure

Mike I see you've already been thru a few changes and it's really a wonderful piece of work - for my part, it was way too long to get to hear the vocals. I'd cut back the clips but for sure keep the endings mentioning the Fitzgerald by name, etc. Just thought it was too long leading up to the song lyric. Wonderful though - truly brings back tons of memories, and I've actually been to Duluth MN and Superior, and know the history here. An incredible tribute, and darn if I could just play guitars like that....? wow oh wow. I don't even know how you put this together with Gordon's vocals but - whew. Not many words come to mind except - Awesome. - John
