Nice work, Skyline! Great lyrics and the loved the video work.

Thanks for the listen Wookiee. I believe Sean is going to do some additional programming to his drum track. I'll go back into the mix once I get those changes and work the high end a tad, see if I can find the source of that harsh tone your hearing.

Hey All, Reece is finishing up the Mastering on our next iTunes CD and this is the last song to go on the album. I believed Sean is going to tweak the drum tracks once more, based on the suggestions made on these forums. Does anyone hear anything else in this mix that might need a little caressing yet? All feedback is welcome. We are attempting to make this 3rd album our most polished yet.

I was at NAMM and saw a demo of Cakewalk, I believe it was Cakewalk 2. I brought a demo disk home with me.

I’ve been using Ernie Ball rounds lately. I only change them about once a year. I’ve played around with several different makes of Flats, but seem to end up back to rounds. Of the Flats I’ve tried, so far I’ve liked La Bella’s the best. I’m really dying to try Thomastiks, but ouch they are expensive.

How long...I swear its only been about 10 minutes today and I am getting my work done.

Hey John- Thanks for the listen. If others feel like the mix is too bright, we will certainly reconsider making some changes to the instrumentation. Sean is VERY sensitive to high frequencies and is usually the one to complain with in our group about harshness or extreme highs. We consulted each other at our band site and he is not hearing any issues at the moment. I do appreciate the listen and bringing it to our attention. Tom- Thanks again for listening to another one of our tunes. You may have a point on the drums. I remember thinking something similar a few weeks ago when I started mixing this one. I am sure we will discuss that as a band and make changes if we feel it is needed.

I think it sounds pretty good Bat. I was on the fence about the vocals coming down. At the beginning of the song, I felt like they needed to come down a touch. As the song progresses to the end, they seem fine. Maybe bring them down just a touch and let us have another listen.

I hear the Steely Dan likeness as well. Nice work, good song.

Here is a new rock song written by Sean and performed by the band, Scandalous Grace. I have done the mixing production work on this song. Let us know what you think, all comments are welcome.

Studio one Pro and Cakewalk.

Awesome Bob, liked the video very much. Great song and playing as always.

......but Tomorrow Never Knows.

Definitely not fret less.

Not at all. I own and play a LP, Strat, 335 and a Rick; all equally loved, all get played depending on the tone I am looking for.
