Bass sounds great.

Dave's solo is excellent. Great tone.

Heck of a job getting all of those words in! Vocal is well recorded.

Background vocals are Sweet! (they could be a little louder).

The guiro gets a little distracting at times (it tends to be too loud in all the RealDrums that include it).

Cool song! Keep that rhythm!!!

Thanks, Floyd. I brought the BGVs up and tried to hide the güiro a bit. Unfortunately it is tied to the drum track so it all gets affected. It distracted me quite a bit, but I learned to ignore it. Not easy.

The band is cool...yeah the guirro gets a bit loud...maybe some mid side EQ could deal with that.
Mr Bell rings out another fab one. Excellent bvox that could high light a little more.
Terrific package.


Thanks, Ray. I planned on punching in every other line like they do on fast-talking commercials, but I braved through a one-take --well, there were a few times I had to punch in because I got the words wrong. Definitely not a sing-along. I raised the harmony bus, but hiding the güiro was a bit more difficult, being attached to the rest of the main kit. It did get a bit muffled through the attempts though. Thanks for your always spot-on suggestions.

Enjoy whatever happens!
