cool tune.... and as far as guitars go, they can't ever be too loud. Ask any guitar player worth his salt.

On the serious side.... yeah, as a guitar player who is used to "hearing himself" on stage..... it was a real eye opener to start mixing guitar into a mix so that it sat in the proper place in the mix...... fat and full, not to loud and not too quiet. I still find myself second guessing my mixes.

I am listening on small speakers but I was kinda missing the bass and bottom end.... perhaps from the guitar being too upfront in the mix. If the guitar is backed off 6 to 10 db..... perhaps the mix as a whole could be turned up several db allowing the bass to shine and kick that bottom around a bit more.

NOTE: I will listen on my lappy later with my cans where I can turn it up more.

I'm hearing plenty of bass but the backing instruments sound too far back. When I get time I'll fix it. Too much going on today. Thanks for listening/commenting.

SD, I was having an absolute blast(off)! I love the many new features of v2014. I haven't yet tackled the vocal synthesis feature but I'm very excited about the prospect of singing again. Wow!

Thanks for listening.

Hi Don,

What a great listen! Doesn't sound like you're too lost on 2014 to me at all.

All the best,
Noel
