Arrow Santa Bring More Beer - Xmas Tune

*Updated Tune*

Hey guys,

Our band (Bag of Toys) finally got a chance to record and mix our (2 year old) song "Santa Bring More Beer" and I was hoping I could get some fresh ears to check it out and make any mixing suggestions such as...levels, panning, EQ, compression...all that stuff.

Newest Version: http://bagoftoysmusic.com/music/santa_for_forums2.mp3
Older Version: http://bagoftoysmusic.com/music/santa_for_forums.mp3

If anyone cares, this was essentially all recorded with a few mics (MXL V67G (vocals), Mojave MA-200 (drum overhead & percussion overdubs), Shure KS(drum overhead), Shure 57 (snare), Shure Beta 52a (on bass drum). The bass was DI through Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver. Everything was running through my Presonus Firebox into my iMac running Cubase 4LE.



I don't know if anyone cares, but I've re-recorded some things and remixed. Let me know what you think.

cheers!
Tait
