Dudes - here it is !!
Dynamite_Collab_Final_Mix.mp3 ( 2.66MB )
Number of downloads: 147Lots of rocking takes from everyone !! Hungry - Love your tone and note choice as usual. Repetition is always good in a solo but be careful not to overdo it otherwise it can sound to the listener as if you've run out of ideas (which happens to me a lot!) Quadrium - Lots of attitude which is always good. I would say the same to you as I did to Hungry, if you're going to repeat phrases, perhaps introduce some variations to keep them from sounding the same. Introduce some different notes, or some bends maybe. Casinostrat - Very nice tone and feel.. I love that slow, picked note ! Some of the pentatonic runs (especially the one at the end) lack direction - they feel as if they are meandering. Try to establish a stronger rhythm and decide on a strong target note that you want to end your run with, that will help with this Todd, Chris & Myself - I get the strong feeling we all blazed away and thought 'To hell with accuracy !'. I know I sure did ! Rather than worry about my bad notes, I thought I'd leave everything as it is and capture the moment ! Awesome stuff, gentlemen ! And you should notice the mix sounding a bit louder than my usual audio files (I hope)

This turned out KILLER! Great playing by everyone! Also, AWESOME backing. And the mix sounds great as a bonus! I remember trying to mix my last collab and it was a real challenge to mix in the varying signals that I wasn't used to working with. It's a great mixing workout so to speak!
I hope you wont think it impertinent of me, but I felt compelled to make the killer mix even more aggressive with a quick an dirty Mastering pass. It's a bit over the top in terms of mastering but what did you expect? That's me

Number of downloads: 130Yeah it was fun to mix.. it wasn't too hard this time, I just altered the gain a few decibels here and there on peeople's individual audio files if they were to loud or too quiet, slapped some delay on and there you have it ! Nothing wrong with over the top !! \m/ |
