This is basically how I would have imagined the song as a whole band, re-recorded in a studio. Still the original version, just scrubbed with soap and add the whole backing band.And here's the mp3:
One to think about (Maximillian Augustus, 2006)
I think it's great. Steff really shows that he has studio experience with this one. I've always thought that I had a good ear for what sounds good in terms of musical quality. And so I imagined (and still wish sometimes) that maybe someday I could be a producer or something. But technical experience and skills I lack. Steff, you've got both. Plus you know what sounds good. It's like you read my mind. Love it.
One point of contention. I think you set the guitar solo off by about half a measure (forward). Check it again I guess. I'm pretty sure if you strip it down to just the two guitar tracks you'll hear that Kale finishes the solo on a D, which coincides (in tempo) with the first chord of the "chorus."
Funny thing is that I did this exact same thing at first when I mixed it. It actually sounds really cool, and when you switch it back, it almost sounds plain. I'd leave it if I were you.
Looks like Peit is up next, with something crazy. Steff is also working on a remix-type remix - possibly Kaleb as well??? I'll get around to one eventually... the creative juices are flowing in other musical directions right now.

Leah emailed me this and then was too lazy to post it to the blog, so I told her I would.
Yo:
I just gotta say, shebaqua. (see definition below)
In design we say "form follows function". This piece has always functioned well, and now that you guys are giving it form, it really shines. Great work Steff, and I look forward to more editing from any and all of you.
Can't wait to see you all again, and have a happy Labour Day!
