HI,
Way better than your first post.
Thank you!

Now just work on the distorted guitar track, it is sitting a bit too much to the right and not hugging the other instruments
New version linked in first post:
- harmonica not as "busy", hopefully more appropriate for sync
- both guitars closer to center

and if you haven't recorded with distortion try a clean sound, maybe you will like it more.
yeah, recorded distorted

Many, many thanks!

Okay that's the best so far,...Finally!!.Now work on levels of each instrument (balance) and try to get the best sound possible(EQ),I am not saying it sounds bad, just saying to take a break for a day and go back and see if you can do better.
..and the harmonica is way better too.

That's all.

Good luck

I just listened to #4. It's much better. It has that Sandford and Son's theme song feel without the sax.
Maybe add the sax??

All the bits sound good individually but the tying them together jolts the track out of a flow - goes from a real band to obvious "midi" fakery in those moments - like a series of bad cuts in a TV show

Thanks for the comment, SubRivers. Any specific jolts you could point out?

You made me listen again :) - 1:30 sax gets weird in the long notes and then the track goes into a big old jolt.

Hmm, thinking it was a change in the "sax" (actually harmonica) that created that jolt. At the risk of :twisted: unfairly :twisted: inspiring you to listen again, we note that we have attempted to correct that. And thanks again!

Yeah, if it doesn't match the listing then ignore my comment.

Maybe it would, actually ...

Maybe sax alternating with harmonica?

But this sucker is due tonight, so, I think we'll send'er off as is for the time being at least!

Anyway, thanks again Stu for your input! We really do appreciate it.
