Basically I loved it, although I've never been one that's too keen on sweaty 
intense anthemic American Rock'n Roll like Bob Seiger or Bruce Springsteen.  
However, as a drummer, were it my own set, I'd ask that the snare be brought 
down a smidge or two to put it in balance with the rest of the set.  It has a 
pitch, miking and probable compression that brings in out front and center in 
your face, equal to or in front of the lead singer's voice, and I kept finding 
my attention drifting to that artifact of the piece.  I really got off on the 
bass playing and the choral part, as well as the guitar solo.  But it's a very 
"Radio Friendly" without being squished to death with over compression mix--a 
true rarity these days and i liked the panning of the cymbals, and the spaces 
for all of the instruments--the snare though.  (grin)

  Subject: [ddots-l] Feedback On First Mix Needed, Please 


  Hello,

  I am interested in getting some feedback (possitive, or negative) on a mix 
I've been working on with a friend. This is the first mix we've done together, 
and we're both at the point with this mix where we arn't sure what else needs 
to be done (if anything.) 

  I recorded the bass part for the tune using Sonar/CakeTalking in my 
homestudio, so hopefully this type of request isn't to far off topic for this 
list.

  Any suggestions/observations would be very much appreciated.

  Here's the link to the tune.

  "Hold On"

  Thanks,

  Steve
