Very tasty mix! The organ is so very effective! Nice "touches" all over the place - especially how you used the electrics. Nice job on the solo, too - getting the PopPromiseBrent to sound "fresh" (after using it a number of times in other things) takes some doing...

Great vocal - goes without saying, of course...

Awesome - top to bottom.

(I hope you will "share" a few tricks that you might have learned...)

Hello Floyd. Good to be back. As I told Pat on the solo I used Guitar Rig 5. I find that it has so many useful presets and I'm beginning to use its bass rig more and more.

Glad you liked the mix. I've mostly been digging deeper into concepts of processing that I knew only in passing, like transients, and getting to know the FX I already have between Sonar's preloaded Fx and Izotope's. Man Izotope rocks! I just noticed they are up to ver. 7. I'm still on ver.5.

But one of the concepts I've very recently been learning about and applying is Mid-Side processing. Wow! What a difference that can make to an overall mix!

What are some of your tricks with mid-side processing?

Thanks again.
