AXLE -- FINAL MIX? Comments welcome!

[zoom]

Hey gang! Thanks for listening and getting back to me. Vince... I agree... if I think of some cool shout outs or maybe a catchy chorus that I can break up and spread out, I'll try it.Geo... glad to hear it sounds good on your cheap speakers too! And I hear you on the tempo... bumping it up 5bpm seems to have helped a bit, but going up 10 makes the melodic component a little too quick for me... but, it's still a work in progress...Brad... thanks for commenting because I know you know this genre way better than me! Yeah, this is definitely lighter than the a las, and I may keep it on the lighter side (of course a dirrrrty mix might be in order too!), only because this is for a film/tv listing, and I want to keep it a little more versatile. And yes, the plan has been to put in a REAL guitar for some good crunch. Good call on the drums, as I've been looking for some better kit sounds.I think I've decided already to fix it up for this listing... no matter the outcome, we're gonna see how far $5 will fly. Any other comments or suggestions?

Peace, Geo

Just wanted to chime in here - really well done. I might echo Brad that it could use slightly bigger drums but hey - it's so close to perfect. Great Job imo.Kitz

Thanks Paul, Jay and Kitz!I'm tweaking the last bits, I think.... Have added live guitars, some dirrrrty synths... now up to 43 tracks! And it started as such a simple piece... I might be able to post the latest version this afternoon for more feedback!

hey Pat! i like this, top poduction! I hope I'm wrong but I'm also thinking they're gonna lean towards tracks with vocals judging from the way the listing's worded. But hey, that would be the only reason for a return imo . . . "Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?"

That works for me!! Good stuff!!Peace, Geo
