Outstanding Chops
Loved the mix. Nice compliment of instrumentation. Drums and bass have some fine changes and that lead guitar, she's singing.

Appropriately aggressive
Interesting. Your original was sort of laidback; this mix brings out a whole different character. Great bass grooving.

I'll be back...
...when someone adds a B3...

And cowbell!

And how can it be a cow song without horns?

Maybe this'll be one of those songs that pops up every week in a new arrangement/mix...

what a great track. massive props to Announcer for an incredible job of syncing in such phenomenal bass & drums. (No small feat!!!) This just grooves in a big way.

Not so hard
Adding the bass and drums to this was not as hard as you might imagine. I probably spent about an hour and a half doing it. The reason it was easy? Because Mark's original track was dead on the beat. I mean ... what you hear is what it was. 120 bpm on the nose. I don't know if he played to a click track on the original or just has a built-in metronome ... but it was right on. The sign of a real pro and a superior player.

are malfunctioning-not going to the right people.Sorry!
OK maybe I did use a click track-but I didn't know what it was,I thought it was some sort of ear vitamin or a device to strengthen my hearing.And I only did it this one time!

Nice
Nice guitar and bass treatment.
Even drums, but it must have hard to fit in drums to the track afterwards.. at least I think I can hear that..

Being
compared to Robben Ford is a huge compliment!I've been listening to him ever since he played with Tom Scott and the Yellowjackets.I never sat down and stole his licks (like I did with a lot of other people) but I love his playing.I don't really think I am any where near his league but thanks!

Very cool
Sorry it's taken me so long to get here! But I'm so glad I did get here - this is very cool. The drums and bass work very well. Love that bass sound - it all works very well, complementing the guitar, and framing those nice licks perfectly. Very nicely done. Peace.
