Haven't read (and seen) the listing, so I don't know if they for example liked a more modern sound or an original vintage Eagles vibe.

Independent of that I think it sounds great. Nothing to complain about to be honest. Obviously it doesn't have quite the tapey and warm vintage feel of the original, but honestly it doesn't need to have that!

Only thing I would improve in your version and interpretation, but that is just a matter of taste, not a matter of fact:
- 1:40 you're drums are doing weird stuff. kick is placed wrongly and it seems to be a cut/jump (I guess you used MIDI drums, and there happened some misplacement)
- the panning on the left guitar is to heavy for my taste, also a bit to much reverb
- some high end sheen on the vocals are missing (maybe try a pultec top end boost, classy)
- some mouth clicks are too loud for my taste (test out the rx10 mouth-declicker)
- tambourine is too brittle for me
- overally to much reverb IMHO

Cheers, all in all a great production, mate

Listening to the track now.
Interesting approach.
You've already been given the tech review.
Enjoyed it, from The Peanut Gallery.

Cheers.

Hey JayJay, I did go back and adjusted some things according to your advice...
I don't have a mouth click plugin as of now ... I'll have to get one
I think it made the track little better. Thanks for your Input!
If anyone else has any input out there it would be appreciated! Thanks! FreddieK
