Mark, I'm going to give that section with the panning issues another listen and hear what you're talking about. That's a good catch, thank you for lending your ear and for taking the time to give your thoughts, I really appreciate it!

Given that every other poster here says the same thing, I'm guessing you're probably right about that. I did the guitars so I guess you're right, the guitarist mixed it, hah! Really though, because I did the vocals I know what they say so I suspect that they're clearer to me because I know them so well. So that's yet another argument for getting someone else to mix/master. I sure appreciate you listening and commenting on the mix, Paulo, thank you!

Great job covering this, its another high-quality cover thats become your trademark. That said, I'm much more appreciative of your very detailed production notes! They're absolutely great and have opened my eyes to techniques I would never have thought of. Thank you for that.

I picked up both Vinyl and Chambers, can't wait to give them a try.

... on plug-ins. I saw Abbey Road Chambers and Vinyl plus for 29 each. That seemed pretty good to me.

My Jesus <- my personal favorite. Too bad it's not on Spotify, it would be on my every day playlist. You've got a great idea here, Jesse. Has this effort sparked any creativity that you wouldn't have otherwise experienced?

Lynn, thanks for your feedback, it's always welcome! I remixed it again with speakers instead of using headphones, give it a listen and see if it's any better.

Thanks, Sabby! I'll see about getting those T Shirts printed up. 🤪

Great tune! This reminds me of the great male vocal acts of the 60s like Neil Diamond and Gary Puckett. Nice to hear people making music like that still. My only real nit is the relatively unchanging nature of the rhythm section. I think more attention to building and releasing energy as the song progresses would take this song to another level, particularly around the guitar solo. Really good vocals with an engaging m elody!

Sabby, thanks for your feedback. Give the new mix a listen and let me know if I'm in the sweet spot yet. Your not a fan until you have the T-Shirt.

Thank you, Daryl, that's great praise given the work you do. I'm grateful for your time and your ears.

Thanks, Jesse, I'm glad you took the time to give it a listen. Thanks for the kind words! I've done a new mix, hopefully the vocals are where they need to be. Thank you!

Very nice work. Lots of cool sounds over an E-Z groove, yeah!

Slick, sophisticated, clever and skillfully rendered. As always! The thing I love about your music is the variety of things that beep, squonk and whistle in the spaces of the melody, and I often wonder how you made those sounds. You have talent and skill and it's on full display here.

I had a lot of fun doing this one. This is one of those songs that pop into your head in a nearly complete form. Thanks, Muse! More like that please! As always, your feedback on mix, song or whatever you want to comment about is very much appreciated! Update: A new mix is now available. There was some reverb plugin doing something really weird to the panning and just destroying any vocal clarity. Let me know if I'm getting there. Updated update: After a few more comments on the vocals I decided to take off the headphones and do a mix with the speakers. I think it's much improved, so if you guys want to waste a bit more time on this, please let me know how it sounds. Thanks for all your feedback, much appreciated!

Thank you for giving it a spin!

Thanks for listening, Paul, Wookie. Your feedback is always welcome!

Fun tune, great gnarly guitar! Drums sound fantastic, I wish I could make mine sound that good. There are some really nice runs in there, I had to give it a couple of listens to get my ears around them.

Thanks, David, I had to look that one up, ha! That guitar is a Telecaster Performer with a humbucker in the neck position (satin surf green!) played into S-Gear's Fast Leslie preset, which gangs two flangers to simulate a leslie sound. I love that sound and I tend to over-use it. I'm a fan of presets, I am much too impatient to spend my precious music time fiddling about to find a sound so I stand on the shoulders of giants! Thank you for listening!

+1 on the alternate version for me too. This is a great track, gotta put this on in the rotation for some intensive listening. Thank you for this!

Awesome! The sound is really nice too, thanks for doing this!

Killer sound to this track, great playing, lovely chord progression. Now you need to get Donald Fagan to do a vocal track.

Always loved this tune, you did a fine job on it. I agree with the raise the vocals above the bass comment but that bass tone is mwah!

This one's been in the woodshed for much too long a time. It's time to stop monkeying with it and get some other ears on it. Your critical feedback on all aspects of this recording are welcome! Updated with the final mix, thank you all!

Thanks for chiming in, scook, I knew you'd know something, and thank you for the link So the dotted line indicates that there is no automation data present along the dotted segment, and the parameter that the envelope is bound to is not changed by a dotted line, I get that. I don't see why the distinction between a solid automation line and a dotted one is important to me when I'm working on a track. Is there some intrinsic value to me in choosing to do a jump rather than say, having just inserting a vertical set of nodes on a solid automation line?
