I also would specifically like to know what you think of how the guitar tone is. I have been messing around starting from scratch with several different amp models and such on the PODX3, and this was I got that I liked. Let me know what you think. Oh yeah, Lyrics if your interested. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Nostalgia For Infintiy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Here I stand on the edge of a machine A spherical mass, dwarfing the Sun Faced with the ultimate end of existence My eyes stare into infintiy I walk along the surface of light Contemplating how it will end for me I know there is no other choice Its my life or everyone elses Heart and mind are conflicted As I force my hand into the sphere I am soon consumed in its light Falling inside this machine My arms desperately try to grasp Somethin but nothing in eternity Here I stand inside of this machine Vertigo obscuring all my vision The figures before barely shadows Try to explain this feeling to me Mind is relaxing pain is fading My feelings of fear have subsided Is this the life that awaits me after death Is this to be my continuance Welcome to a simulated world This is to be your existence Body has died but life pushes on Mind integrated in this machine A masssive, galactic, universal brain Infinite in its calculations We have remained here for 900 years Studying life that never has been seen Isolated from the outside worlds Contained in our digital spheres Our bodies perished so long ago But we live on in the form of information We know you do not belong here Your destiny awaits in the coldness of space Take what we impart to you Our infinite knowledge Here I stand on the edge of this machine Arms spread open and ready to leave A short breath I take before.... ...Light Speed!

To the point of clipping and burying everything else. The guitar tone is alright. Its got just a touch of "plastic-ness" to it that I personally dont care for but thats not right or wrong of course. Just personal preference. The lead tone sounds really good I think. What about spreading the drums out a bit? They are all mixed very centrally. The clean guitar tone is cool. I'd rather hear a fade into that part than the sudden stop and change. Here the lead guitar solo that comes in sounds too far back in the mix to me. The fade back in to the next part of the tune shoud be evident a bit sooner I think. There is too much of a gap there. It sounds like the beginning to the next song. The lead part from 4:09 to 4:40 or so is really cool. The harmony part. What about spreading the 2 guitars out a bit? Maybe 50% R and 50% L? All in all, I dig the tune. Just had some mix critiques that may be able to help. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I spread the drums out a bit more, dropped the vocals on some parts, and fixed the lead starting at 4:09 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have couple of minor suggestions for you to try: 1. Guitars are a bit too loud, and making problems for vocal to cut through. Try lowering down the volume of guitars, or better yet - try scooping the guitar mids. This will also create an effect that guitars are quieter. Let only one small frequency cut from guitar tracks, so they are scooped and monitor the vocal while doing this. This will allow for vocal to come out. 2. EQ the bass a bit, so it doesn't interact with other frequencies, like drum kick. The place where you raise the drum kick, in that place lower down the bass gutiar, but raise it in other place where you have free range available. 3. Try to master the recording a bit better, there were some clipping occuring. If you used compressors, try lowering down the gain and raising the knee a bit. If there is some clipping use a soft limiter to limit the sound from breaking above 0dB. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
