Sounds nice and crisp over my speakers, and the balance is good.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

With a title like that.... curiosity got me.

Like a horse race.... and they're off at the sound of the bell.... full tilt boogie... reminded me of Stix a bit. And oh yeah.. the lyrics reminded me of an LSD trip....

All in all, this was a rather good song. Lots of energy and sounds like it's mixed well

Man, that is powerful...in the lyric, the vocal performance and the guitars.

There are very few posts here that effectively use this much energy in a rock song (as you have done).

Mixing a song like this is waaaaay above my paygrade but it sounds excellent to us. I listened on the small KRK monitors and our larger system and all was hittin' the note on both systems.

Nice!!!

J&B

PS: FWIW I almost always double the snare drum and sometimes the kick for RD's. I find them at the end of the wav file for the respective RD in BiaB's RD folders. I then eq out a bit of the kick and or snare in the primary RD track. For the doubled snare and the doubled kick tracks I used one of CLA Drums snare or kick presets. Seems to work OK for me. At least I have more control over them.

Thanks Bob,
I'm retro aged so it fits.

Lyrics are dark-not a bad thing ( suited to the feel of the music), I think I`d need a lightshow and substance assistance to really get into them!

Thanks Robert,
Loud Marshalls do have a certain vibe don't they?
It was loud enough in the room for me to wear hearing protection.
Light shows - oh, I remember them being on the promo posters along with the band. A definite draw card.

Thanks David,
balance was what I was aiming for. I had the guitars rather loud for the 1st dozen mixes but started to see & hear the light (& shade).

Thanks Herb,
It wasn't all as frenetic in the 1st iteration. It was about 50 bpm slower and sounded like a Glitter band song...I'll post a link in a few moments - it's a laugh.

Thanks J&B,
The mix process was protracted - about 10 versions once the vocasl were in place and numerous sets of ear s too. Tinnitus means I do need to refer to otehr listeners incase the frequqncies masked by my ringing head cause grief.
I'll give your strategy for drum augmentation a go. I've resisted that process thus far but it may make the difference in the end so is worth a good try.

What a GREAT classic rock sound on this Rayc!! Had me thinking BOC/Tull. Your mix sounds outstanding to me. Vocal processing on this is pure gold! Great work! Thank, T

ray,

Powerful Rock!
Everything is energitic.
It reminds me of some British bands like The Kinks.
Nice guitar tones. The feedback ending is very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
