Very nice song, you're a good song writer. When the solo guitar comes in there's some percussive sounds that are distracting. I would use an EQ like MEqualizer where you can sweep the curve around while you listen, I always use it to find the sweet spot with an acoustic. Sometimes a graphic EQ is better when it's a very narrow specific frequency that needs cutting.

I like the groove, very reminiscent of the Talking Heads to me.

Well written song, good work, I like all the changes. Very nice guitar tones.

Really like this, it's a toe tapper. That bass line is too cool, the guitar, sax, keys all great stuff. Always excited to see one of your songs here, thanks for sharing.

I like it, really smooth, sounds great. Very good guitar playing. Cool break for the bass solo too.

Good job writing a song about junk, catchy.

Hey, thanks for that. I flipped the switch so I'll see if that fixes it, sure would be nice because it's been driving me nuts.

I have weird random problems with various vst instruments that change settings on their own. My Jamstix drum program will go to zero volume or the kit will not produce sound and I have to reload the kit to get it back, I think I did this 5 times yesterday. My synth and keyboard plugins will keep dropping the volume to zero and sometimes change the sounds I have selected. Is there a setting somewhere that allows these changes?

Nice, you know your drag racing lingo that's for sure . Rock on.

I can totally hear Petty there, love his stuff. Every time I finish a song I start thinking it's the last good one I'll ever come up with. Who knows where they come from and if it may dry up, but you gotta keep trying.

Very pretty song and great vocals. Personally I would like to hear the bass more. Good work.

Really good vocals on there.

Things sound pretty good but the kick is really distracting. It's a big woofy over powering thump. I don't think it fits at all, but if you love it at least turn it down. The trumpet sounds great.

Cool tune! Fusion is my favorite genre. Very good playing, I'm jealous. Those drums must have been a lot of work, I can't imagine. My only little niggle is the bass seems weak, I think the song would have more impact with a bit more bottom. Great job on this one man.

Boy, that's a treat for the ears! Really great composition with many cool changes, great job. Fantastic playing too.

OMG, we used one of those 688's back in the 90's. All the punching in and out we ruined the heads and kind of barely salvaged a years worth of band recording. I do think certain things sounded better recorded to tape, rhythm guitar sounds were great, vocals were better too. Don't remember mine being midi, just a cassette.

I think it sounds pretty good now.

You never seem to run out ideas, amazing. Great guitar playing, cool changes. I dig that sultry trumpet too.

Nice song and singing. My only niggle is the bass sounds weak, it is kind of vague sounding.

Well done.

Interesting song, good work.

Interesting song with some good sounds. I don't hear any bass was this on purpose?

What a great groove, love it! Kind of like some of the great bass grooves that Barry White had.

I've screwed up some tracks from too much stretching. I would zoom in a lot more and make sure your transient markers bracket the part well before stretching. It's worth learning how to use the transients, I always use them to tighten up my bass and drum parts, makes the groove so much tighter sounding.
