Really cool to hear this Paul! I think I am understanding you used one of those new AI separation tools – sounds amazing, the new version is very punchy and fresh sounding! Sounds like your buddies were real characters! When my brother and sister were about 14 and 10 they had a band and played the Ventures version of this tune. It went over well in the Australian pubs!!

Thank you so much Dana!!! Your comments really improved this recording a ton – thank you!! Such a good observation about the Tom’s! Listening with fresh ears I hear exactly what you mean, and I think I will tweak the guitar volume rides a little. The hug-treatment really glued it all together. Thanks so much again!

Gosh this is an incredible project!! The compositions, performances and recordings – videos too! How epic and i’m so glad to know about this album, I will enjoy it. Thanks for all the work that went into creating these masterpieces!! It makes me want to record in nature more, what a great idea for a musical project, endless field. Love the way you and Ike play together Jesse!!! And spectacular sonics from Dana and co. I’m going to have to find some big ‘dead cats’ like you all were using!!

Thanks again for the great feedback, Dana! I re-worked this mix and think it is feeling a lot better. Attached is the new version, based on these suggestions – thank you again!

Thank you so much Dana!!! This is incredibly helpful. I love the Nir Felder tracks and am now hearing that this piece could really use the ‘warm hug’ treatment.
The guitar was recorded live and I was using a 5w champ – it was blowing up a little too much. I did boost the top end a ton with some Trident EQ because it was a Coles mic on the amp and quite dark. Hopefully I can bring some of the warmth back and get it to sit much better!!
I’m going to have way too much fun Pultec’ing that snare 😅
I did post a solo acoustic recording of this song couple of weeks ago. I’m planning on putting out songs every 3 weeks or so next year, will be fun to share a couple of versions of this piece.
Thanks so much again for the feedback,
Joe

Thanks Jesse!! Great suggestions and I appreciate it! That’s a great point with the second guitar competing a little – i’ll experiment with the placement of it.
The overdrive is baked in because I was using a 5-watt champ and a borrowed Les Paul, which is not the kind of guitar I’m used to. It was blowing up a little too much. But I boosted the top end a lot and I think that is contributing to the harshness.
I had considered re-recording the guitar part, but decided not to because the ordinal take was recorded on video and the footage looks pretty cool.
It’s so helpful being able to share songs here, thank you so much for the feedback and for taking the time to listen!!

Thanks so much Jesse!! This is the video I made for it, which features the guitar I used for the recording, it’s a Maton I’ve been playing since 2011, nicely worn in and I love the way it plays. TE has been a huge influence on me, especially in a song like this!! https://youtu.be/YxYQTbJQyYY

Thanks Dana! That’s really impressive you’ve built this with WP, I’ve heard that can involve a lot of moving pieces! Look forward to chatting and cheers! Joe
