    Totally guilty on this. It's not really that I'm not used to play to a

drum machine, more like I'm quite lazy and didn't work enough on the riffs.

What you have is the first or second take of everything, and it shows.

Besides, I'm a total newbie playing bass (only use it from time to time to

add some backing, like in this song), so I've probably made all the mistake=

s

in the world. Twice.
    But that's the idea! I wanted to put something quickly and see what

happened if I "let it loose", so to speak. Mind you, it's not that I could

do it much better if I tried ;-) But part of the idea was not fretting too

much over it, because in my experience, if I don't do something soon with

these things, they'll remain in my hard disk forever.
    In short: no problem with your criticisms, they're very fair. Don't

hesitate in pointing them to me; I won't be annoyed as long as you're gentl=

e

enough ;-)
    Now, regarding the mix: it's awesome! Everything sounds way more clear

and defined. I'll have to review what you've done to see if I can learn

something. Regarding what you said about echoes and reverbs, I'm a bit

puzzled: the original guitar sound only has a slight reverb, and the echo

was added with Ardour. Did I something wrong, that it was not possible to

remove it?
    This is being quite a good experience, so I expect to release all my

next music like this (did I hear a shudder from the masses?). If you liked

to clean up this mess, be prepared for more in the future :-)
    Thanks,
