Some info on the song:

Yes, that is me singing grin

Once I had written the song and made the chord chart, the song was easy to put together. I knew what I wanted and found it easily.

It is using _TXBLZRS.STY Texas Rock n' Roll w/ Sol. I added 2585 punk held and 690 organ

The drums are me - single take since it is just a scratch track - on a Roland TD-20 kit using V-Expressions modeling http://www.vexpressionsltd.com/20.html
I am using the Gretsch kit . . .

For those that don't know how to mix or don't have money to spend on plugins,
I purposely mixed this scratch track without plugins using a mix template and Cubase Elements 8 . . .
http://www.cubase.studiomixpro.com/#!mix-templates-blues/c1ud

* I did add a single CLA plugin for the effect vocal when it says "He's the intercessor!" using a filtered vocal with a dual delay at multi speed

Here is the song . . . He is RISEN!

Hey you got a rocker going on there.

Nice jam. Well done Everything sounds good for the most part.... nice work on that one take drum track. Cool drum solo in there.

Couple of nits
1. At 14 sec, there is a strange vocal anomaly that has a very high brittle edge to it. I hear it in a few other places as well. Watch those highs.

2. two drum hits.... at 1:238 really stick out

Good job and this thing is bursting at the seams with energy.

Very cool rocker!! There is a very live feel to the band. I think the vocal feel/processing is perfect for the vibe. You do some really good stuff!! Take care. Greg

This is a great song but the mix seems a little hot to me. Were you using a preset on a mastering tool, and if so which one? To my ears, the high end is getting a little brittle and distracting me somewhat from and otherwise excellent song. Great job though.

Thanks for feedback Dave! It is a premade blues template especially for Cubase elements from a 3rd party using only tools that come with elements . . . (reverbs eqs etc are all already set) - I didn't tweek them . . . just wanted to see what their canned mix sounded like . .

The only thing I adjusted was a couple of levels to test the template (works really well in the car etc)

Blessings!
