Hey, I liked that. The hard panning was a bit distracting, though.

What's distracting about the hard panning? Just curious.

Does the lack of 'verb bother anyone? How are the sounds? I didn't do much to this, just mic'd everything with one mic to the same pre, panned, a tiny bit of eq, compressed a little. Messed with it as little as possible. Does it sound live at all?

The drum in one channel and the weird noise in the other channel just didn't sound right. Not right is, um, distracting. Not sure what else I can say about that...

Those two aren't hard panned. The bass and guitar are. I could bring the shaker (that's what you meant by drum, right? There's no drum in this) and crow sax a little closer in toward the center.

I think it's cool. Doubt it would sound good with everything sitting in the middle...

Sounds cool. The first instrument (bass?, on the right) sounds out of phase in the left channel (room mic or bleed?). The shaker more right would be cool, but it does sound nice... and live...

That's bleed. I guess I should have used headphones when adding the other tracks. All of this is me, btw, so if it sounds live, that's really cool, b/c it was recorded one piece at a time.
