Now that is one guitar-hacking-good tune!

Soundclick gives me an error - "error loading songfile". ??

I'm interested to hear this collab - sounds like an interesting mix of styles.

Sorry guys about the error , it was working fine last night . I'll get right on it and try to get that fixed .

Radio

I'm back , not sure why there was an error with the first link because it was working .
Anyway I fixed it and it should work fine  , its working with me now .

In the mean time I will work on raising the guitar track up as suggested in the mix , thanks for the second listen everyone .

Nice collab! The Santana-esque guitar licks work really well with the electronica.

* Not sure if it's a Soundclick thing, but this file sounds quite distorted and 'pumping'.
 
Thanks and thank Herb for the great guitar lead he added to the song , not sure about the distorted and pumping thing your talking about .
I was working with all audio wave files , I took the song audio wave file and then mixed in Herbs guitar track that was on a audio wav file and then mixed it .

I just started remixing the tracks again so the music is down just a bit . problem I was having was the three different guitar tracks sent to me seem to be off in volume a bit so I'm having to adjust the three guitar tracks and the music track so everything is balance out correctly .

I have things to do in town today , should have the remixed version up later today after I get home in the afternoon .

Cheers !
James

Of course, as a guitar player... the guitar can never be too loud..... never.

Yeah it worked now...

Sounded really good! Herb's guitar part really helped shape things and take it in some interesting places, while letting it breathe in spots. Radio your part laid down a nice, astmospheric foundation.

Good collab!
 
Thanks Buddy , I'm really glad Herb wanted to mess around with the song .
It really sounds nice now , checkout the remix version I just posted .
 
Thanks ! Radio

song + +  1  ----- drums sound over compressed

Does sort sound that way now that you pointed that out , ummm I might have to recheck that .
Could be when I mixed it first using Record and then Magix Studio 12 , I might have to upload a new version again to correct that sound your talking about thanks !

James, the intro drum measure sounds strange as does the crashes further in, almost like a hiss rather then a crash cymbal..... IDK .... I was thinking it might be sound click's compression algorithm. That has messed me up in the past. 

I noticed this on a piano track I posted a few years back..... since they reduce everything to 128 I figured I'd upload a 128. It sounded like it was wavering...... really bad. I uploaded it again using 320 and the track was perfect. 

Just a thought.....

I like the new version...the guitar is up nice and clear.

  I listened to part of this earlier, There must have been some probs with Sound Click because earlier it sounded VERY muffled and distorted. 

It sounds RIGHT ON now. 

You should post your tunes to Sound Cloud James IMO, it will play better sound quality for everyone who is listening.  

Sounds great to me either way!!!!!!!!!!!  

Excellent Playing all around by both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Bobby , I might recheck the cymbal midi track and make some adjustments tommorrow on Saturday .
See what happens , thanks for the listen and comments on this collaborate version .

This is good, not heard it without the guitar, but it's easy to see that Herb really did a good job here and it sits really well with your backing track. Ending is kind of abrupt, but otherwise very enjoyable.
 
Thanks Paul , yea Herb did a great job adding lead to the song , the version without guitar is still posted under " Open My Eyes "  on Soundclick .
I have both versions posted if you want to check out the other version I first posted .
Thanks for the comments !
