Thank you everyone. Very nice complements. I didn’t expect that. (Wow… Eric Johnson! and I haven’t heard Daryl Stuermer’s name mentioned in 20 years!) Nice!!

I posted this to more or less, get a feel on my use of Toontrack’s products. I love them… but, I struggle to get a mix I’m comfortable with. Every track is a learning process. You guys know it because I’m here… but the best complement (regarding Toontrack) I ever received is (obviously) “who’s that drummer? He’s awesome!” Another nice complement was “where and how, did you record those drums?” from someone knowing how small my studio set up is! That’s when I know I’m getting better at this…

So needless to say… I was extremely surprised that my guitar playing got so much attention from seasoned musicians such as yourselves. I’m very grateful.

Thanks!! — Andy Kotz

Without coming across as an idiot (and I do hope you were asking for constructive criticism), I would have liked to hear a shorter intro. Then… (again, just an opinion here) I would have liked to hear a distinctive, stronger melody for the A-Section (/1st Verse) and the same with what would be considered B-Section (/PC or Choruses), because to be honest with you… after a short time, I only stuck around to hear the drums (which sound killer AND great mix BTW). It just seemed like you were just jamming along rather than establishing a song.

Again… just one man’s opinion and please… I DO NOT wish to offend. Just a listener passing through.

Continued success to us all!!!!

Man!!!! That’s intense! And (coming from another guitar player) 9 strings?? I’m still learning to use 6!!!!! Good mix too. Which recording software do you use (or did you use for this)?
