That wah solo towards the end there was ****in' killer!

I love that main line that's throughout the song. It's addictive and it was definitely a good idea to end with it.

Bravo sir!

Damn, that is really good stuff. Loving the textures, while still being mean as mean gets. Waiting for Layne Staley to start up... Awesome!

sounds great man, love the usage and sound of the wah on those lines. Reminds me of sort of a Rush meets Alice in Chains kinda thing. badass.

Jerry Cantrell would be proud. Sounds like old AIC not as heavy but still good.

nice work! love the space in the beginning - kinda wish it did something like that again near the end. flows all the way through & holds interest. very clean & well mixed! did you use that ez mix thingy? if so, I think you got it down to a science now!

Thanks a ton bros! this means a lot. People on this forum have great taste in tone and are some real musical heavyweights.

Awesome my friend, rock on! Cant wait to hear more of your solos.

That just ****in' rocks!

Rock on!!! thanks brutha, killer! Your stuff sounds great, but even better with that axe fx.

Yes, Cool brutha!

Awesome man, Glad I hit the mark on this one, many thanks!!!

Thanks, I look up to him, I dug using his signature wah throughout this song. Really nice of you

Thanks Dankstar!!! I appreciate the CC - I need to do the space and different textures soon, your stuff is pretty inspirational with the transitioning. I plan to use ezmix more, but on this song I only used it for the reverb/delays on the wah-guitars. Rest assured, I am just adjusting faders and EQs really and do not know basic mixing knowledge like how to adjust a compressor and stuff. The only software I used was reaper, ezmixII, ozone5, recabinet, DC8C compressor from Klanghelm, metal foundry, glissEQ, and the free reaper stuff: reaFIR and reaGate. heads up to ezmix folks: dont get ezmix mastering, get the ozone 5 since ozone5 has way better presets and loudness function is pretty awesome.

Thanks for the props from my 'down L.A. Homie'!!! How are your Phase I assessments going? I remember some environmental planning projects I had with dairy farms in the LA area that had some serious remediation needed, with phase IIs and IIIs and stuff. Cool man!

thanks
