Default 11 tracks

This have been re-worked (again) with some new techniques and TDR plugins...

Any feedback is welcome. Unless it's really bad and then I don't want to hear it...

Very nice! I listened to several of the tracks and liked the balance and sonority of the arrangements. I feel like I want to grab my guitar and improvise a melodic line over them.

I actually do recall listening to your earlier mixes and I definitely hear improvements in the mix and especially the drum arrangements.

Am I correct in assuming that most of the instrument recordings are the same recordings from the previous versions? Since you are clearly dedicated to making these songs sound as good as you can, my main suggestion would be to re-record the bass so that the timing locks in better with the new drums. There is also often so much going on that I think simpler basslines would help a lot. Bass draws too much attention to itself by being overly busy and not quite on beat, imo and it does not need to be the focus.

My other suggestion is to do some volume automation passes to bring the solo parts to the front and push back stuff that conflicts. They often just kinda blend too much.

The washy guitars sound really great to me! And don't be afraid to crank your vox a bit!

Anyways...good stuff man, keep it up! Some of it kinda reminds me of early Widespread Panic.

Thanks for the comments. Bass is my primary instrument, so I like to put that out more than it maybe should be...

Fair enough, I just thought it detracted a bit from the other elements. Mainly my point was that when we record all the parts on our own, we don't get the real time feedback between players informing our playing. The next best thing is to re-record key parts in response to major changes in others. Time consuming, but often worthwhile.

Grimy soundscape thing in 111213 is rather excellent. I love this kind of sound.
