Just stumbled across this, thanks for the presets!

I feel your pain, it's been my hope that at5 can fill the gaps in the excellent tonex product. But like you I've been unable to make it work the way I want. There is a new versions of tonex and there might be an update to at5 as well. I'm not sure about that, but tonex is at version 1.5.1 I believe? You might want to check to make sure that you're up to date, they've done a lot of work with the ui.

Love the song! Good melody, good lyrics an a rich arrangement. I do agree with previous comments about the bass, and to my ear the vocals are a bit forward, but everything is subjective so take that with a grain of salt. It's a good piece!

Nice one, great lyrics and a good voice for belting it out. I liked the pedal steel sounds, really added to the vibe. I did a song with bib, a long time ago. If we have a bib theme day I'll post it.

This is really good steve. There's lots going on here and it's all good . Such an interesting vocal melidy and a really nice guitar solo . I especially like the chord changes in the instrumental break, to my ear it's reminiscent of Lynne and George Harrison.

Nice one, Steve, I love those horns and the guitar break. The mix sounds pristine to me and its a very nice arrangement. One for the album!

I love the sound of tape! Love the song, great playing!

I can take no credit for that, it's all Tonex!

I'll give that a try, thanks gary, you rock!

Nice one!

I have nothing to add in terms of technical aspects of the mix, it all sounds really good to me. Great track and great work on the mix Gary!

Thanks. Keith, good advice!

Thans for giving it a spin, mark!

Thank you, old joad!

Great feedback, treesha, thanks for your great critical listening. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!

Not patronizing in the least, your advice is most welcome, thank you!

I tend to go overboard with tape emulation, I peeled off a bunch before this mix and thought I'd have to pull more before all is said and done. Thanks for your encouraging words, Lynn!

Good ear, Jack, thanks!

Steve, thank you for chiming in, always great advice. I've been avoiding compression lately but there's no doubt sometimes you got to have it. I'll give that a try. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you!

Such a happy song. I suspect the mix is less than optimal, so as always, your comments, critiques and suggestions are most welcome! https://soundcloud.com/kevin-ibsen/when-the-world-falls-down

Thank you Lynn, I appreciate the support! I can't tell you what it does for my morale hearing your comments. Have a wonderful holiday!

Great feedback, treesha, thanks so much! I've never been to Long Island, but I've been pretty close to Babylon.

Ah, some old school stuff, just in time for Christmas. Your mixes sound so good, great horns in here. Is that a xylophone? ? Would you call this a shuffle?

Hey, Lynn, great tune! The keyboard sounds great, and I really dig the vocal melody. Love the lyrics, I'm very fortunate that I've had many people like that in my life. Mix-wise my ear wanted to hear a bit more bottom end, and maybe a bit more drums. I spent a bit of time listening to some of your other tunes on SoundClick, some really good stuff there. You've got a great sound that's all yours.
