first off that rake was a weird sounding mistake so I doubled it and distorted it and put some soundtoys plugin on it. I was probably high. Sounds great. hahahaha

Holy moly, that is some seriously sophisticated production, Jason!
The part sculpting, transitions, instrumentation, the vocal harmonizing...it's all top-notch.

Along with what Azimuth said, I also get vibes of Beatles and (later) Tears For Fears, if that makes any sense, which it probably doesn't.

And I almost forgot to mention those sometimes jazzy chord progressions. Love that.

What library did you use for the strings (cello etc.)?

truth be told, I sent them out to be rendered by someone else, which is kind of sketch - but I think they used LASS - they also reworked my chords a bit

Here is the latest -

I changed some stuff but the snares still seem like weak

Hey Jason, is the Heavy Snares section a separate song part in Jamstix? If it is you could add Snare 2 with a much punchier sound to the kit and then Link it to Snare 1 in the song part you want a heavier sound. Then just bypass the linked sound for your other song parts. See page 17 of the manual.

One thing with the newest version that stuck out is the Bass riffs @ 2:00 and 4:41 should probably have a few dB shaved off. Just my opinion.

Any chance I could get a mix without drums just to play around with for my own experimentation?
