New song posted. Again, I used the New York Studios Vol. 2 (Allaire). There’s something in those kits that, to me, give the song a certain something.
Hope you enjoy.

Bear-Faced Cow,
Thank you for replying twice in my recent thread. I used to check my mix also with home stereo speakers, but adjusting for that, always made the headphones sound worse with my adjusted mix. I will review your song today, will probably be tied up for an hour or two.

I never make major decisions on home stereo speakers due to their hyped nature. If anything, I would compare the mix against a reference track on my main monitors since I can hear everything I need to there.
Like I said in the other thread, it may help a few mix decisions to mix at a lower volume. If it sounds good low, it will sound good loud.

Bear-Faced Cow,
If I was more tech savvy, I might be more willing to check my mixes in the car. I suppose my iPhone could do it better, though I haven’t had the patience to do that. What I have done in the past, I burn it onto a CD (by that time I’ve had my fill of working on the song). But until I finalize the CD (which might take months, or more than a year to fill up the CD), I can’t hear it in my car. Unless I burned all sorts of CD’s. In days of yore, I would make a cassette tape and could hear it in my car more quickly. OK, finally on to your song: Hey, this sounds really good! The singing and the melodies, the guitar & bass playing are all very nice. I think this could have been a hit song in the 70’s. Your main rhythm guitar riffs remind me of ELP’s great song “From the Beginning”. By the way, before I played that on YouTube, a Tony Robbins video ad came up, the motivational speaker and best selling author, and he was in the movie “Shallow Hal”. I’ve known him since the seventh grade. He played a heck of a prank on me back then, but I’m not going on the public record with that story. I could tell you in an email or private message. Cheers! 🙂
