State Line - TeeGee1965

There's a bit of a Tom Waits feel here crossed with a million other rockers. Love it.

Thank you for the detailed reply to my comment! It helps me to know that I was not just trippin out, and that there were in fact some mp3 components to the mix. The guitar sounded top notch to me, so you should feel good about that right away regardless of any other aspects. I think that the vocals, and the cymbals and snare were the main areas where I noticed the mp3 aspect of thing... though my ears may be fooling me. I don't really know how my ears have help up this well over the years... had a whole bunch of head injuries, plus years of very loud concerts and stereo use, then the playing of instruments and mixing. The listening and commenting on looperman has definitely helped me tune my ears, since it's nearing 6000 songs now. I find I notice it much more when mp3 and uncompressed is mixed together, rather than, for example, a wav mix of all uncompressed sources being compressed to mp3 for playback. I do however occasionally use mp3 source for very short voice clips, when I have no other source available. I think I turn off a lot of collaboration, as I am very strict about uncompressed audio to work with. I know it sounds like ego to say that it isn't worth my time, but it is more like obsessive/compulsive feeling involving music which bears my name. Not good, not bad, just what I try to restrict myself to. And, this song is totally cool, no matter the sources! I love hearing some real instruments, and people who know how to use them. It was fun to hear it again! I'm going to fave this now!

Good Production. Spend Some Time Mixing & Mastering And You'll Have A Hit.
