Care to share some of the production details (DAW, arrangement, guitars)?Wayyyyy too long in my opinion. It was tracked and mixed through Pro Tools 10. Guitars used were a Peavey Wolfgang and a Fender Strat (just a basic no frills strat). Profiles used were Splawn Nitro, PITTBULL, and Andy's TwoRock 35 Cranked, and JCM 800 (which I just cant get enough of!). The song is a long song to begin with. If you listen to Tomlins version or Delirious version they both go over 6 minutes. So this is the shortened version lol! But seriously, I wanted to chop alot of it out, but the rest of the band wanted it all.

Thank you, Jeff!
Very interesting! -
like it - perfect length - hate short songs

I like it, I dont think its too long at all actually, (IMO)
im guessing your in a P&W band
the guy singing has a nice voice (is that you?)For me, the song is good, the bass and drums did not quite gel for me, in the bottom end, felt a bit loose, and so it didn't drive the song as I wanted it too, but that can all be fixed at mixing!
Keep up the great writing.

Yes Im in a P&W band. No Im not singing. Curious, bass and drums did not gel how so? Tone wise or playing wise. I respect your opinion which is why Im asking.

Its a complex art, mixing the rhythm section but it has to be solid enough to keep momentum, to me the kick and bass are not together, as where they need to be "glued" im not sure who mixed it, if its yourself or not, but parallel compression might solve this, if you separate the kick drum, merge it with the bass drum and buss this out, add compression and mix to taste, naturally you will need to understand compression techniques first, but this is the way I do 90% of my commercial mixes. but before you get to that stage make sure you carve out clashing freq in the kick and bass, - as currently the bass is just bass, there is no upper harmonics to it, try adding a notch about 3k and cut about 250-300hz by a few DB's to get rid of some of the mud. guitars, and vocals then mix over that, and again carve those out too, and LPF the guitar tracks to about 150Hz
The kick needs to supply the "chesty" feeling, and the bass will drive it. if they are tight the track will be a lot more fluid and give a greater impact.
I liked the mix, and I liked the song a lot, I dont want to take anything away from your creativity. so if you wanted your song to be like you posted then thats totally cool, just when listening to it I wanted a lil bit more from it is all Im saying. - so take this all with a pinch of salt. and keep up the good work.
If you want more explanations then feel free to PM/Email me.

Andy, you kind of through me whemn you said separate the kick drum and merge it with the bass drum and bus them out. Should I assume you mean send them to there wn compressor?
-
Sorry I meant send the Kick drum and bass to a separate buss, then apply a fast attack comp, then blend that to taste.

Actually everything that was said has been done. With the exception of p comping the bass gtr. However this was tracked with bass di and bass amp. I left the amp sound in for a rounder tone. But it may just be too much. I always p comp drums because I love the fatness it adds especially to the snare. I generally do not p comp the bass but I will give it a try and see what happens. Also just curious, and I know this really depends on the bass, but is it a normal practice for you to boost all the way up at 3k? I usually find the finger noise around 1k-ish. Maybe Im not going high enough. I just dont hear much information up at 3 k. Thanks for the tips Andy! As I progress as a producer engineer I value any tips shared by those more experienced than myself.

Good song...I don't think it's too long....and the sound is great !
I share Andy's suggestion on the bass and kick drum, with the right technique they would "pump together" and give some more groove....beside that I hear the main vocals are......ehm......a bit "outside" of the mix (I'd lower them at least a couple of db), and the dist.guitars are very good in tone, but lack volume, IMHO, of course....
just my 2 cent, I'm biased as I love a good rock mix more than anyotherkinda mix
