All my guitars and SSD4 drums.

Eq, comp, preamp, reverb, stereo tool.

I have been working with many audio software companies for many years.
As a result, I was able to buy them very cheaply.
This morning I received 4 new plugins at once and mixed my blues in a new way.
Here are the links to the plugins -

I replaced the preamps, compressors, reverbs and stereo tool with these.

Listen to how I did it. I'm interested in your opinion.

P.S. I highly recommend you try the preamp from Mixland.

Wow, flawless mix and production. I don't know blues but it sounds great. Congrats to the vocals too, they are stellar.. Voice sounds great.

Five out of five..

Thanks, buddy. Yesterday I didn't understand how I did it because my ears were already tired from working on another project. That's why I asked for your help. I'm glad.

Tired ears?
Another nice one John. I really like that your playing is more complex than the typical pentatonic riffs.
Love the simple lyrics and the reverb (or delay?) on the mix ( & guitar).

Hi, thanks mate. No, there is no reverb or delay in the mix. Only on the guitars. On the vocal of course. Boss RVR - 10 reverb and Presonus Analog Delay.
P.S. I am self taught on guitar. So it's not like in guitar schools. Many people have told me that my guitar playing is hard to copy. I'm kind of glad.

Awesome guitar tone and licks. The vocals suits the song but I have no clue what you are saying? But who cares. It’s the blues and the guitar is all that matters anyway!
Another comment would be the bass seems like it is cutting out a lot. Is this intentional or is this a VST instrument?

Amazing mix! If anything, I'd say the drums are too clean for blues but you can hardly call that a wrong... Amazing sound on the guitar! And some weird processing on the vocals that I like.

Thank you. I don't quite understand what you said about the bass guitar, but it's not a VST instrument. It's a cheap Cort Junior.

Follow the link below - Autumn Rain. You can see what I play there.

Thank you. As I already wrote, I experiment with sound, testing new possibilities. This blues version is just a twenty-minute work with replacing plugins.

drums are too clean for blues

You right.
