"Poppin' tight" - final mix

[bats brew]

https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/poppin-tight

when i say 'final mix', means i'm not writing or arranging any more,
my best last pass before i tweak and master.

so, my demo of this had a more roomy drum kit...
and made it set back a bit, and seem more mellow and groovy..
this kit is less roomy, with a more muscular kick...slightly more aggressive.
i like it, but it's so different,
i no longer have a feel for it.
any thoughts?

OK, NEW MIX:

re-mastered, with drum part changes, mix changes, re-eq'd guitars,
changed the overall reverb IR from  a big stadium setting,
to a wooden room chamber, which sounds so much nicer than the other one.

hey wookiee! yep, i went ahead and took the first one down,

because the 2nd one was the correct one! LOL

 

it is a groovin' kind of thing, very simple and straightforward,

designed for shaking tail feathers.

Cool! Super nice funk. I think you covered all the bases on the guitars , I really liked the way you did the chimed parts. Killer bass as well. Another great one ..  mark

alright mark!

thanks for listening to this one....

the chime part, yea...

that's fun, a bit of gain, a bit of compression, then just pop em out!

heheh, a little indulgent, but works so well.

Yes, a bit of a funky vibe for this one - cool groove. As always, I enjoyed your guitar playing - you utilized some funky tones on this one.
