thanks man, i'm looking for translation!!

heheh

"I was looking for translation in all the wrong places
 Looking for translation in too many faces 
Searching your eyes, looking for traces Of what..
 I'm dreaming of... 
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover 
God bless the day I discover
 Another heart, lookin' for translation"

don't take that the wrong way...

updated mix 10-3

i think this one is a better version, with edited solo guitar tracks, new panning scheme, a lot of small tweaks that add up to dial it in more.

but

i might have reduced the bass guitar a bit in the mastering, still not sure about the low end translation now.
of course, it never ends.
LOL

that would be an easy fix, i think it's ok in the mix, but i used Multiband comp on the mastering of this one, and did not on the first one.

even tho i set it for a long attack, and not much compression, it might have smoothed it off a bit too much.
still on the fence with that one.

bump for the new version

Just listened on low-end PC speakers and sounds fine, mixwise. The songwriting is nice, vocals great, guitar playing great. Caused me to go listen to some of your other stuff -- listening to Pali Face right now...that is some serious fretwork! I like the tone & effects on the guitar -- Channeling David Gilmour.

Dude!  If moonshine will make me sound this good, I'll take TWO gallons!  This is "guitars done right". Might like to hear your voice a scoche louder...don't hide it.

Awesome.

I forgot to mention that your song loosely reminds me of some Poco I used to listen to back in the 70's...and they sounded great.

The new mix is better than ever!  I'll be listening to this several more times.

Just awesome, I love this. Has a fleetwood Mac feel to it, Ace!

nice man, thanks
low end pc speakers, yep, that's a set i don't really have to check against, so it's good to know there is some decent translation there...

i have a set of speakers from my old jam box, some panasonic boom box speakers:



i've been thinking of throwing these on top of my monitors, and switching them over to the headphone amp i'm using (a yamaha natural sound reciever).....

now, that pali face thing, i wrote and recorded back in 1999, that was done standing very close to an extremely loud and wide open 60 watt mesa boogie head and cab, i use that song as my demonstration for working with controlled feedback from proximity effect
and yea, gilmour would be a touchstone there

thanks for listening!
