So far I've listened 3 times, and with each one my respect for your talents soars higher. Killer band and well conducted. Extraordinary vocal --well not extra for you. Man, I love that Celeste (our daughters name, too). Hey, I was watching the vid on what's new in Biab2024 and noticed some Floyd pianos in the demo. Any relation?

When I saw all those Metal RTs hit BIAB, I thought who-in-the-world is ever going to use those????
I figured what-the-heck....

I had to go back and listen a second time, this time on the buds and set to an appropriately feisty volume level. Ahhhh yes!

The dramatic drum intro was very promising. The drums were really nicely played with fills and such. I liked the overall drum track a lot. At 2:30 where the drums come back in, they could have had a more dynamic re-entrance..... And perhaps a few beats later for a better impact. One thing I will do is for the drums coming back in is to use a volume envelope in my DAW to bump the first few beats of that drum track UP a couple of dB and then as soon as the instruments/band comes back in, drop the level immediately to it's normal level. That makes the drums HUGE for a second to increase the impact. Leaving it at the same level tends to get it buried when it needs to be front and center.

My only nit with this mix, in my personal opinion, is the overall low end. It's got an appropriate low end for pop and maybe even pop country, but it's not pop. This is more metal/rock.... the drums, especially the kick and snare need slightly more punch and the bass guitar really needs to be a huge component of the sound. I mentioned above how cool that drum intro was but then the bass guitar didn't quite enter at the appropriate level to balance the mix on the low end. The kick and the bass working together are the foundation of the band. I think overall, the drums are probably at the right point.... maybe a slight tweek and if the bass was balanced against the drums, they would be exactly where they needed to be. This genre needs a more substantial low end.

Aside from that, this is a good rocker. The Celeste added a unique flair to the ending.

Glad you liked it.
This is not a Metal song. The Pop aspect and the Country aspect are more important. So, as you noted, the low end was appropriate for that. (I don't have any problem hearing the bass on any of the places I've listened to this). I labelled it "PopMetalCountry" - the Metal part being the least important, if you have to label stuff.
