I think you've done a good job of mixing this interesting song. Until I heard the alternate version, I was going to suggest turning up the vocals. Your mix is clean and punchy, and I think you did a fine job with the drums. The other version has a wider mix, but your panning is well done regardless. This is much better than my first attempts at mixing. I'll give this a B+, and you're only gonna get better!

Terrific song and production! Music like this deserves a huge audience. Keep cranking them out!

You just can't beat a good pedal! Good song and a good demo that went by very quickly. I'm gonna play this a few more times.

This is a haunting vibe, all in all. Though I've never been on a battlefield, it causes a visceral reaction in me. The production is very good and one to be proud of! Keep it up.

Thank you, Mark! Very encouraging words from a master! Your words are greatly appreciated! I'm feeling even more encouraged. Fred, you've always been very supportive of my music, and I'm always grateful! Comments like these make it all worthwhile.

I appreciate you, Daniel! I did let this one simmer for quite a while, but I'm starting to see the endzone, at last. Hi Jack, thanks for your suggestion. The drums are preset grooves from Superior Drummer 3, so if anything is loose, it's probably the guitars or bass. I'll listen for that.

Hi Treesha, I'm successfully using the latest CW with the same version of Melodyne that you're using. Have you tried changing algorithms? I typically use the melodic algorithm, but if it flatlines, I change it to polyphonic sustained and get the proper notes showing. Or, it may be a different algorithm for you, so try a few. Good luck!

Daryl, thank you two times for listening. Your words are highly encouraging! Bjorn, I'm sorry about the earworm, but whatever it takes You encourage me, as well! Thanks a million!

This being an election year inspired me to put some of my thoughts to music, and this song is the result. I've been playing with the mix for several months until I hit on this version. I'm now ready for comments to see if I'm heading in the right direction. As always, I'm thankful for your contributions and ideas. It can be found here: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14618237

I'll buy the first keg!

Thank you for putting this out, Steve! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. I look forward to playing these songs over the next few days, even though I've heard most of these songs several times. I have a few friends that I want to share this with to impress them with the quality of music that this forum has to offer. "Are We Lovers" still blows me away since the first time I heard it. A masterpiece!

Or, lasso it with right button.

Good song, Rex! I like the way you keep experimenting with styles. You just keep getting better!

This is on its way to becoming one of my favorite songs by you! Congrats!!

What's not to like?

I've been missing your energy. Sorry to hear about your battle with CoVid, but I'm glad you're back! This is a welcome song - congrats!

Fantastic! I really like the backing tracks in this tune, especially the percussion! Your voice has never sounded better, Steve!

Fabulous! It has a poignant melody which I like very much, as well as her voice and your production. Encore!

All the comments about the vocals aside, this is a good song. I wonder if much would have been said if you hadn't pointed out the vocals. You're on the right track!

This seemed like it was over way too fast. Well done, mate!

You've upped the ante with this video. I, too, like the dark mood of the song, and I'm left wanting more! Congratulations, Nigel!!

Barry, this is a terrific song! I like that you are willing to experiment with styles because it keeps you from being predictable. I like the vocals in the version I just listened to. Keep it up!

Well done, Ross! Your vocal is spot on, and the over-all vibe is carefree. If you do this again, I'd suggest a little more bass to round out the bottom end, otherwise, this is just fine.

Wow! This hits all the right notes - a superb collaboration! Well done!!

Another terrific song, Kevin! The lyrics and vocal performance are haunting which gives me a somewhat dystopian feeling. I like the fact that this mix sparkles but is not overly polished. True grit!
