Great work on this BlueAttitude! I enjoyed the overall tone of this. Fantastic choice of instrumentation. Those Guitars have a great crunch to them and the vocalist is powerful. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Joe

Dave & Chris
Great overall sound (loved the shaker) everything where it should be in the mix.
Excellent vocal - and some nice soloing (both piano and tasteful guitar) throughout.
Great work.
Peter Thanks, Peter!

Dave,
This is top shelf all the way. My favorite of yours so far.
Super mix, production, vocals, mastering, everything. This is way beyond the hobbyist stage into the pro stage man,
Love the video too. Where did that footage come from?
David, man, you pretty much made my day with those comments! Makes me think I'm heading in the right direction, thanks so much! No idea where the video footage came from. We decided a long time ago that Chris is much better at doing the videos than me, so I just let her do her thing.

Very cool track Dave and Chris. Back track groove was infectious. Loved your guitar dancing around the vocal. Very nice touch. Vocal was just superb. Man has she got an awesome voice. Your solo was also very cool. Tone was so gritty. Just an excellent tune...

Wow! This is one nuanced tune. Plenty cool vocal, lyric and guitar subtleties make it stand way, way above the pack. The production sound like a group that’s been playing together a long time - a credit to the two of you (along with a shout out to BiaB). There’s such a smooth, polished feel that even after several listens we just get drawn in and forget about trying to listen for “this or that.” It’s so easy to fall into the whole production. That is a perhaps awkwardly stated compliment! Tremendous write, performances, production and a cool video also! J&B

Getting good at mixing is mostly about practice and training your ears, the more you do it the better you get at it. Getting good feedback from others also is priceless and there are a few people here that to my ears constantly produce pro quality mixes. My name is Dave BTW, Chris is my songwriting partner (lyricist, singer, keyboards)
