The Black Crown: 'Flames'

[thedon]

Hello Don!

I like it with the Vox up. There aren't a lot of "grabbing" elements in the different sections, so the vox definitely (to me) tell me that they are definitely the most important element through 90% of the song (once you get power behind it, which you certainly did) so keeping it high makes sense to me. I could have done with a touch more guitar 2, but that guitar 3 almost seemed superfluous to me in the overall context of the song. The problem is that if you don't have it there, you are left with a big hole that the space the git 2 was taking up. So, to go back to my statement about git 2 coming up, git 3 would almost have to come up too, and I just didn't find enough meat in the part to justify making it really prominent (granted, I brought up the beginning where the vocals are out and automated down when the vocals come in, but I am still wrestling with getting it just right [I also noticed my drums get slammed up way too high from the second chorus on, so take everything is say about it with a grain of salt]).

But as it sits, it sounds powerful, strong, and I think the vocals sit above, but it calls for it, imho.

Very nicely done!
