When you least expect it, expect it. Many thanks! It needs a slight remix, there's some pokey stuff needling out in some of the higher frequencies, it's on the "fix" list. Thanks, though!

Good luck in the move, Kakku. Thanks for the pleasant groove. I liked the rhythm change. Would be right at home in a video game, maybe a vintage one. cheers, -Tom

The thing I could never work out was gullfoss, or zynaptic intensity. Or both at once. Or one cancelling the value of the other. Or are they both just well-marketed sonic maximisers and vintage warmers and audio exciters. I have been using Intensity for a while, and I get its value, used in moderation. Gullfoss I can barely notice what it does. Pretty sure I asked this same question last year? Apologies if so.

Here we go, another bf, another Herculean effort by cc, which I just now put together must mean that which he delights in destroying . . . our credit cards. Thanks again cc!

I predict with near certainty Kenny's absolutely professional-looking photoshop Cakewalk cat food label mashup.

You can't pour it into a bowl if you are dead. You can't even open up the bag. Which is to say, I'm not sure of that, or of anything else. At all. I sense you wish to advance some philosophical position here? By all means, if you are feeling . . . . . . Frisky.

I thought that was awesome. Super clear in the headphones, not overwhelmed by fretty squeaks. And I hadn't heard the tune, very pleasant it is. Well played and thanks for sharing it.

Hi again . . . this one ain't done yet. Might add a guitar solo. How's the mix faring on your end? Would love any commentses or advices . . . thanks, -Tom

Yea! to this magazine. Looks like a labor of love.

I vote that he knew he was being funny.

Good job coming in early like a bad bass player.. You can't taste the cat food if you're dead.

Your unpredictable senes of chord choices are pretty fantastic. I liked the doubled vocals in the middle there. For me the intro was a bit long, even though your flute and flute harmony thing was very well conceived indeed. Mix-wise, very distinct mix, particularly those strings! I can tell you crafted this mix with care. But wait . . . there's more! Cool trippyness breakdown section. That's a catchy section for sure. Good choice, ending on a sustained, fading bass note. cheers, -Tom

Just a quick thanks to @Starise and @macce and @David Sprouseand @DeeringAmps and @ramscapri and @Hidden Symmetry and @freddy jand @Johnbee58 . Wish I had time for specifics . . . Much obliged for the comments and look forward to returning the favor on your next posts. cheers, -Tom

Very nice indeed, the ideas flow and things change quickly. Something tells me your lead vocal is not always panned center? Or am I mishearing it? Was that a non-standard choice? Nothing against it, personally, but it does stand out a bit. I do like your bgv's quite a bit as well. Overall, some very creative parts, very creatively arranged. A fun listen. cheers, -Tom

I most definitely did!

Even worse, I haven't heard squat from them yet. I have not inquired. And now my spam count from them is 9.

I've told you once.

Dunno about Vegas, but I always start in Premiere with a good .wav file for the audio. YouTube will degrade it so don't start with an mp3. . . . would be my advice! Good luck!

Yes these are my exact favorites as well. I always learn something new from that lot.

Sure hope Musician's Friend has an offer up soon.

Ordered at dinner last night, rec'd immediate confirmation. Still no serial number, but no cancellation. Uh, how can two competing vendors screw it up?????? MF and GC? But while I wait, I can enjoy the four new spam emails I got from MF.

Well, I guess it takes all kinds, because I actually like all of those little beacons of technology. They remind me of how I'm not living in the seventies anymore. It's cool! Give me the blue jewels over the useless flashing "12:00" on the Betamax.

Well, that seemed like a no-brainer I didn't know I needed. Thanks MSorrels and y'all. A bit like Tantra on steroids?

Neat song, catchy chorus hook, killer drums, good lyrics, and the guitars are a treat. It's really hooky, still hear that chorus in my earwormhole! When the vocal is doubletracked , I'm hearing something in the upper mids that pokes through a little too much. Might be worth a look. He has a good voice actually, just hearing something strident in the vocal that could be knocked down easily with eq. That Soothe plugin, if you have it, would do the trick. That niggle aside, excellent job one and all! cheers, -Tom

I knew you would kill it normal. 100% love the lyrics. 100% love the ending. 100% could hear Mark Knopfler singing and playing this. But I can hear him singing and playing pretty much everything ever written. Mix-wise, maybe compress the drums a little less? Overall in your mix, is there a compressor set on the vocals, pretty heavy? The drums, heavy? It gives things a lot of punch but also a lot of weight - I'm missing some higher-eq range clarity on those sources. Super neat guitar lickage to support the vocals - has a nice Southern Rock Ballad vibe, to my ears. cheers, -Tom
