    Having heard your excellent work for a while now, with great guitar work (love the whammy tremelo dips!) I think I'm noticing the bass. It seems to breathe in the mix a lot less than the other instruments. It might be so 2-D as to "narrow" the  overall mix. How do you record the bass? I wonder if your interface is giving it enough depth of field, or if some compression could be backed off? I dunno.

    It's not an awful bass mix, I just think it could be improved. I assume your bass is mixed right down the center?

    Maybe I'm crazy but I think your awesome guitar, and even the drums, have more roomy life to them and mix width than the bass does. Maybe I'm giving you a starting point on a wild goose chase . . . sorry! 

    I do like your style and the genre is always a good listen.

    cheers,

    Thanks Tom for your reply and opinions.                                                                                                                                                                                         I didn't have a bass guitar at the summer cottage.                                                                                                                                                                   So I recorded a bass track with midikeyboard + iPad + garageband app.

    The mix I did with the Sonar. And yes, the bass is mixed very near to the center. I'm still learning to mix and my hearing has deteriorated a lot from my left ear, so mixing is hard for me these days.

    Perky as hell. Great guitar as usual! Emma must have surfed, or perhaps hung with Johnny Cash's band a bit.

    A crit might be in the drum department, what are you using? The drum kit is mixed a bit narrow and a bit back against the wall for my taste. However, that certainly fits the period style of the tune, so that's a fine choice.

    Hello Tom

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve used Ezdrummer.
    Maybe I added too much room on the Ez-drummers mix-settings.

    Greetings
