Guitars sound good as does the bass. After the lines in verse 2, is that backwards guitar I'm hearing? Very cool.
Mix wise you might want to try bringing the vocal up in the mix a little.
Good song!
Thanks Dave! Yes it is backwards guitar. I found out that in Reaper, I can reverse items. I used the lead guitar solo from the first version, cut it into segments for each chord (so the reversed segment is playing over the correct chord), and reversed each segment. I think I added an effect as well, but can’t remember which.
Thanks for the heads-up about the vocal levels - I think I get so carried away with the guitar tracks, I forgot to recheck the vocals in the newer context. Now adjusted!
Andrew
