Meet the new boss, same as the old boss! Nice sound with lots of warmth that I wish I could get in my tunes. Piano and drums sound great and mix is very solid.

I've updated my original post with the new mix, please check it out, thank you!

I enjoyed this one very much, Daryl, great lyrics and simple, clear and well executed vocals (always a standout for you guys) with a great arrangement. The mix is clear, balanced and quite nice to listen to. What's not to like?

You do have something here that I like, . It's kind of like a cross between The Clash, the Beatles and Captain Beefheart. Pretty cool!

Smokin' ! Great mix, sounded fantastic even on my little phone speaker, really nice job!

Thank you for listening!

Thank you, Daryl, I'm grateful for your ears!

Hey Bob, really appreciate your input and I'm glad you like it. I guess the hats/kick feedback is pretty much unanimous, I'll have to get on that soon. Another Petty comparison, wow. I'm going to have to go listen to some early Tom Petty to see what you guys are talking about. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Thank you, Mark, appreciate the listen and the advice and the awesome comparison to early Petty. I don't hear it myself and I wasn't going for that but it's still awesome to hear.

I think there's something there to move forward with . But I also think you're the only one who can really answer that question. Does what you hear inspire you to want to discover what the next few measures brings? If so the answer is probably yes.

You blew it out of the water as always Kenny absolutely stupendous guitar playing love the composition. After so many great ideas being strong about like candy I can understand why some folks are disappointed by the fade out at the end. But I've been known to reach into the bag and pull a fade outending here and there myself so I'm a little more accepting. Fantastic work Kenny!

Thanks for taking the time! I especially appreciate you finding the static, that's precisely the kind of thing I have trouble hearing.

Man, what a fun listen! Makes me want to bust one out too. The harmonica sounds great for all the shifting, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't pointed it out on the song page. Great fun!

Thank you for giving it a listen!

Thanks, Kenny, it's always great to hear your feedback. Funny how you knew the song isn't done yet. You're right, it's very much an unfinished work but the bones are there.

Enjoyed it!

I thought of doing exactly that, Tom, thank you for the use of your ears, lol.

Update: After all the great feedback I rolled up my sleeves and got busy fixing stuff, but while I was at it, a very powerful storm blew through and we lost power. When it came back all my final mix settings were wiped out and I had to re-mix from scratch. I'm not sure if it's better or not, I just know some stuff is different. I've also brought the kick and the hats in, but because of my service-related hearing loss, I can't really hear the hats at all so if there are any issues with the levels, please help a brother out with the trial and error process of getting it right! Thanks again for all your help! Kevin New mix: Original post: Well, after a very long hiatus I finally got back in the saddle and wrote a new tune. Unfortunately I find that my ears are getting kind of ragged with respect to hearing the full spectrum clearly. Certain frequencies are getting pretty hard for me to hear and mixing is becoming a pretty tough undertaking. So I'm turning to you guys to tell me if this is in the ballpark. Is this a balanced tune? Any problems with the mix? Thanks!

I think this one beats the burnt toast thing. Love it!

I see you marked the issue as fixed. For the benefit of those who see this thread in the future, what was the problem and what did you do to fix it?

Of course it's worth it! Even if it's not.

Well, you beat me to it. Somehow the setting reset to "snap by", thanks for jumping on that! I always have that set to "to" and it's been that way for so long that I've quite forgotten about it. I have to look up landmarks, not sure what that one is. I appreciate it!

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this. I'm deep into a session and I've just noticed that with smart tool selected and grid snap on and set to whole note, all my clips do not snap to the measure boundaries. I've not seen this before but it's entirely possible that this is expected behavior for some reason after some sequence of steps that I cannot remember taking. This build is on the whole much more stable, even with my Focusrite Solo 2nd Gen interface (not terribly impressed with the USB drivers for this interface.)

Great post, particularly on the use of score as a synonym of the number 20. I doubt, however that the usage has anything to do with the price of drugs. The bible refers to a human's God-given life span as "three score and ten" years. And in 1865, US President Abraham Lincoln famously (to Americans at least) started his Gettysburg address with the words, "Four score and seven years ago...".
