@Kevin Walsh nothing wrong with mix 3 still has a pleasant warm sound. Balanced mix overall I can hear all the different voices.
Thanks for coming back for another listen!

No top end is present just the whole mix felt, ready for this, kind of cuddly. Will listen later, Missi needs a walk and I need to visit someone special.
Thanks, I've posted Mix 3 that I think addresses the top end.

I really enjoyed it. I'm a bit in awe of the people who make this kind of music. It's beyond me how you do it.

Warm sounding mix for me, as noted the kit needs a little work and the vox needs to come up in places, no final judgment (ha ha ha) till the remix.
But so far it is nice no problems with the length either, I like long songsThanks for the feedback and the listen! When you say warm, do you mean the top end is excessively suppressed? Second mix is up so I'm looking forward to your critique on it.

Hi Kevin
Love this - guitars sound excellent and the track has an overall sort of Floydy feel to it - in my book a very good thing!A great track, excellent
Oh and thought the mix was good

Always appreciate your feedback, Nigel. Yeah, I was going for a Pink Floyd Doo Wop kind of a vibe.

What a great discussion! This is why I love this forum. I have so many projects with bunches of markers clustered in a group at the end out of the way because I didn't know how to delete them. I can't wait to go back and remove them all with vicious glee.

+1 on ARC Studio. Another alternative is the VSX headphone system by Slate. I get very consistent results with that system.

I like 'em both, old school instruments and arrangements with a fine vocal performance. Loved it. Really takes me back. Great job , gary!

Some pretty great sounds in there, and it's always fun to find the rhythm in the soup with your work. I dig the ray gun sounds. I also like the sound click title, "atoopid do forgot to say".
Sometimes eyeliner and smokey eyes are all you need to seal the deal .

This is one of your best, Kevin. I very much like it as is. Sometimes you need a longer song in your catalog to balance things out. The mix is spot on! Take a bow.
Thanks, Lynn, I appreciate your support! Cutting something out of this one is like asking which one of my children should i put up for adoption.

What a great song! Really love the words and as always your guitar playing is perfect. The overall vibe that you set with the quality of the mix is makes it for me and really showcases the way the percussion and the guitars work together to create a nice blend of east and west. As has been said, fantastic!

Thanks for listening, tom!
I know it's a long song and I'm grateful to everyone who listened to the whole thing. Given the number of thread views vs. the number of listens it's obvious that the length of the song is a deterrent to people playing the song, let alone sticking around to critique it.
It's a rare thing to have folks like you and the others willing to spend the time to help me knock the rough edges off these songs in the first place, and even more so when the song is as long as it is.
So, thank you all for doing me the honor of listening and commenting, it's appreciated more than I can express.

Superb guitar tone, nice song and vocals. If you are looking for suggestions, I'd do something with the drums. Maybe a touch of reverb. Are these live drums or midi? Sounds like you used a click track? If these are midi, then I think maybe look at adjusting some of the volumes to add punch to the snares, and some minor adjustments on the fills? Not sure, but it might work out well.
Great feedback Steve. I used drum midi. After reading this I listened again and your critiques are spot-on. Muchas gracias!

Kevin , Great guitar work and treatment on them. I think you could bring the vox up a little. Especially during the sections with the high harmonys coming in. Very good job on the vocals. I Really liked the "airy" sound on the smooth lower sections. I think punching the chorus sections would give it more of that "Floyd" feeling.
Loved it .. mark
Thanks for listening Mark and thanks for your great feedback. Your comments match exactly the notes I wrote on the back of an envelope when I was listening to the last mix last night. I'll be posting and updated mix soon.

Way fun, thanks for posting!

Sounds pretty good, it's a good song. I would trim the length some.
Thanks for listening! I really tried to pare ot back some, but I like it the way it is and it's not like I'm going to lose a record deal if I don't.

Thanks, jack, glad you could listen.

This is a really good song with interesting changes that keep you engaged all the way through. (You seem to channel Jeff Lynne to my ear.) Nice job following the changes with the vocals Great performances all around with a beautiful video, great job Steve!

Pretty good rocker, guys! Nice to hear daryl let it rip! Bass and drums were right on and the guitar just tore things up. Excellent work!

This is a first mix that, after having posted, noticed some manic piano towards the end. Please ignore that. I'm looking for feedback on the mix and overall sound, plus anything else you want to point out. Thank you!
Update: The link now points to mix 2. I've actually punched up the arrangements some and I think it's a better mix but I'm thinking I'm too aggressive on the master bus because to me the dynamics have suffered some in places. Feedback is welcome.
Update: Mix 3 is now posted. Thanks for your help!

Very well done, both track and video!

I have always assumed that any missing audio on export was my fault. Sonar is much smarter than me

I didn't want to say anything, didn't want to sound ungrateful, but I just wasn't jelling with the big ol' U for turning snap on and off. I see in the new build that we get the old grid snap icon back. My muscle memory is most humbly grateful.
My favorite them (Dark Gray) looks a lot more contrasty to me. Am I imagining things? It looks great!
After playing around with the themes I may have to change my favorite to the Tungsten theme, it's quite good, perhaps better than CbB.
And it just occurred to me that the icon change might be due to me switching themes. Doh.

Thanks, Lynn. I think I shaved maybe 8 seconds off of it. I appreciate your comments!
