Hand of Shiva - new tune I just wrote

I wrote this instrumental tune a few days ago and just finished a first mix.

I used some Indian instruments which I have been wanting to do for a long time. Sitar, tabla and a couple other cool sounding instruments.

It has more of a middle eastern sound than a clasical Indian sound.

Sound chain is Ibanez JS1200CA guitar-> Stereo tube pre amp-> Soundcard line in -> Guiatr rig 3 -> recorded and mixed with Acoustica's Mixcraft 4 - drums done with Acoustica's Beatcraft

Rythym guitar is my low B Strat

How's the mix overall mix sound so far?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Nice job on this composition...i dig the modal vibe of this piece. very good mix. I'm listening to it on my Mac Book Pro with the small internal speakers and it sound great. Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks Frank.

Like your stuff also, don't get here much to listen, but I like what I have heard.

Thanks so much...got some time and trying to write a few comments today on some of these current guitar posts...lots of talent here. :)

I just did this re-mix #2

Adjusted a bunch of levels all over the place.
Added a second rythym track and panned them hard left and right.

New mix - 06/04/2008

I spent a bunch of time eq-ing tracks trying to get cleaner separation and remove mudiness.
Removed a bunch of pops and clicks on some of the loops I made.
Adjusted levels all over the place.
Pumped up the drums and bass
Bunches of little things fixed here and there.

I had several request for a half way breakdown of some sort

Here's a new mix with a halfway breakdown that goes into a time change.

I like the exit out of the breakdown much better than the entrance.
I can work on the entrance more if I get some better ideas.
Suggestions are welcome.

Yet another mix and hopefully the last one. The old compter was maxed out and stuttering bad during playback, and so I could not complete this project. I just finished the middle breakdown section in the song.

I just got a new dual core hot rod computer up and running that will do 4+ ghz without breathing hard.

New system:
Dual core 3.16 ghz wolfdale chip with 6mb L2 cache, 1333 buss
ASUS mother board with automatic overclocking feature that will throttle the whole system voltages/cpu/fans up and down according to demand. It will overclock way past 4 ghz if needed.
2gb super fast DDR3 Corsair ram running at buss speed of 1333
3gb / second SATA drive

Here's mix #6
