Excellent tone for a SIM.
It helps that you've a more overdriven tone than gain stacked.
Top job in EZDrummer - it oh, so easy to overplay a kit in those programs, (that's why I've settled on RealDrums because they're real and not overplayed).
Vocals sit nicely - the tweaks certainly worked. I know quite a few people who ignore reverb on vocals - preferring delay - I've not learnt how to be subtle enough with delay - I've only just learnt with reverb.
Back on topic - cool stuff.
Cheers

Back on topic - cool stuff. Thanks for the listen and detailed comments, Ray! Yes, amp Sims have come a long way in a short period of time and continue to get better. Waves just released a new one designed by Paul Reed Smith that is supposed to be quite good, and the one I use, S-Gear, is due for a new release soon. I mostly use RealDrums too, the only time I use EZD2 is when I need something specific that I can't get with Realdrums. For the vocals, the final version has both delay and reverb. Thanks again! Nice work guys,
Love the lead guitars!
Rob Cheers, Rob! I see you have a new one, I'll be along shortly to give it a spin.

We've now listened to this through three different sounds systems. The mix sounds great on all three and the song seems to just get better and better. And it started out great!

Oh I like this! So much has already been said that's right on. I would type more, but it would cut into my listening to it again time.  Great job! Really great job.

J&B Well, the current mix is actually the fourth since the initial upload, mostly tweaks to the vocal based on the thread Floyd started. This mix has both delay and reverb on the vocal, and I added some saturation too. Thanks for giving this another spin, I appreciate it! Oh I like this! So much has already been said that's right on. I would type more, but it would cut into my listening to it again time. Great job! Really great job. Hey, thanks very much! I'm enjoying reading your posts over on the mixing forum, you obviously have a lot of knowledge on the subject.
