My only gripe is the drums get a little loose around the 2:00 mark. Nice job Neil. Poly
Re: Arms Wide Open Agreed with Poly (best work to date).

Re: Arms Wide Open Thanks Poly and Sue! Appreciate the feedback and support. Poly, I'll check into the drums.

This mix sounds great, and it is a really catchy song. Only minor comment would be that I felt the lead vocal got a bit iffy on pitch and breath support occasionally. Probably not to the degree that it'd be noticed by the general public, but a bit more than my ears could just attribute to "attitude". (I tend to be fairly sensitive to that, probably due to having had to pay close attention to these issues in recording my own vocals.)

As far as the drum comment Poly made, I'd bet that just backing off the volume of the drums, especially the snare, would make it flow smoother without having to quantize or re-cut them. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
Thanks Rick & Glennbo for the comments. Rick I think you're right about the vocals and will probably revisit that. Glennbo - good suggestion on how to fix the drums.

Also love the loping, triplet-feel tempo. Nicely done. Man, is there some talent on this board, or what? bzb -- THE SONG FACTORY Words and Music, made to order(TM) WWW: http://www.thesongfactory.com
Re: Arms Wide Open Thanks for the comments Ben! That's my $99 Oscar Scmidt mandolin I got from musicians fiend last year for another project. Pretty good sound, stays in tune - what else can you ask for? I have a modified Oktava MKL 2500 (tube mic) for close micing - great on anything with strings thru a Manley dual mono mic pre. I used an original Rode NT2 thru an Avalon 737 for distant micing (3 or 4 feet).
