i think you put the song below its potential by changing the drum part. it’s really boring now
i think most people probably like cleaner better but i don’t so i’m trying not to take that into consideration

liam: really, it makes that much of a difference?

I agree with liam that the drums aren’t optimal, though I don’t think the song is boring. I feel like it would be better with some real drums.

I think that hihat loop I’m using in there is probably a bit overbearing and dancey.

maybe i was overreacting because i thought the old version was better, but yeah it was better with the other drum part. sorry if i made you feel bad.
anyway, i think you should try out another mix just cleaner with the old drum part. that way you can see the response, because i think most of the positive comments were mostly about how much cleaner it is, so see if people like it better with the old drum part and cleaner.
i think that i just made an extremely redundant paragraph but i am too lazy to thesaurasize myself.
best of luck

Are you planning on mastering the album yourself, or having someone else do it once you’ve got the mixes done? I like this song, but I think the overall level is too high. I think the song could be left to breathe more, especially with the great acoustic guitar.

liam: Hey don’t sweat it, I appreciate the feedback (and the clarification.)
aharden: I’m really not sure about mastering. I’ve been talking to MC Frontalot about the fella he uses on his albums in NYC and I’m sorta interested.
Probably I’m going to let someone else take a pass at mixing the tracks once I’ve done the rough mixes and then I’ll see about mastering.

Very catchy song, Brad! It’s very much improved since the demo.
The birds are very loud and distracting, though.
