Hey man,

This is really cool and a rock solid rocker. Congrats. It really cooks.

For other stuff you work on this year, let me suggest a few things I myself had to learn the hard way, and am still working on.

1. Vocals. They need more midrange, and the backing tracks sometimes obscure the main. Backing vox should have very few notes and skeletal frames. For the SOUND of the vocals, try stacking the same main track with different EQS on them until you find a sound that is you, very mid-range, and cuts through concrete. Most rock vocals stack the main vocal and use different effects on each track until the vocal will cut through anything, as I said.

2. Next, mix with the drums and bass as loud as they will ever get with the vocal sitting up so high you can hear every word clear as bell. Vocal on top. This is your reference for the chorus and the ceiling.

3. THEN slowly fade in everything else panned at about -15 or 15 with some as wide as 20, -20 until the sound is good, but BELOW the bass, drums and vocals.

This takes A LOT of experimentation.

Just a few thoughts, but man this really cooks and I enjoyed it.

Rock on.
