    "Island in the Sun" is a song by the American rock band Weezer. It is the second single from the band's second self-titled album Weezer, released in 2001. "Island in the Sun" was not originally planned to be on the album, but producer Ric Ocasek fought for its inclusion. It was a successful radio single and perhaps the band's biggest hit ever outside of the United States.

    Rick would it be possible for you to adjust the latency on the guitars? They are just a hair behind everything else I am struggling to fix it on my own.

    Sure will take a listen. I noted the Backing Track was no longer posted. What I typically do is synch everything to the backing track, muting everything out but the BT and the track I am trying to synch. The end result is typcially everything synchs. I'll make a few tweeks. Rick

    OK...made a few changes. Took the acousting to .048, and some minor timing change in the electric. Added a little reverb to the lead track and brought the volume down a shade. I used Jasons drum track to better align the guitar. Saved all those changes in a DAW mix. Hope that sounds a little better to your ear. If not, maybe a few minor tweeks will get it. Turned out to be a fun and good sounding collab!

    Does anyone have suggestions for the mix before I mark this complete?

    @Jungle Jim: I like your groups version better than the original. :-)

    I like it - I've changed the EQ on the bass so it sounds a little better - haven't touched anything else. If you publish again that'll be it for me..
