on The Music Goes ft Michael Mayo UPDATED by darkhorsebeats

I'm liking this, it has a simplicity and sound of early synth based music from Sheffield in the seventies. one of the keys to mixing this is to leave yourself at least 6 db of headroom with the instruments . Also Partial panning in the mix is important as well as a dynamic eq balance of instruments and last but not least a tasteful use of reverb on some instruments to create space in the mix. After the mix, then add your compressors. Oh and try to use subtractive Equing instead of adding eq to the mix.

The track itself is pretty good. A nice variation of drums and percusion. The bassline is strong and the vocal shot is ok aswell. Problem is that the mixing is almost non existing. The sounds are all struggling which creates distortion. Try looking on youtube for mixing techniques. It is not that hard but will definetly give a boost to this track.

You should also add a little more vartiation as well. A bridge might work. Adding an extra melody or synth will help as well.

A good starting point for a nice track! Well done!

Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for :) It was a lot less murkier and then i started messing with the levels and volume on the instruments but I'll have to go back to the drawing board. It really is just a starting point at the moment and hopefully it'll sound better once I implement the changes you've recommended.

Jazzy feel from the singer as she stands out from the mix and is allowed to shine. Super use of space. This is just so classy. Best regards Robby.

It always helps when the vocals are awesome in the first place so i just tried to compliment them. Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated :)

Happening track - nice economy with a wealth of cool little touches. Excellent vox as well. Good work!

Much appreciation for the feedback :) sometimes it's just better to keep it simple and let the vocals do the heavy lifting :D

on My Love by darkhorsebeats

Yes he did and always tried to live a normal existence, although the physio often got in the way. He used to be dragged out of smoky clubs by his friends! Your niece was particularly unfortunate. Thanks! Chris

on My Love by darkhorsebeats

Thank you so much. And how strange that I would write to you. Sacha was 37 and died on Christmas Day 2013. His mother and I always knew his days were limited but he went rather quickly in the end. The stream will be at sonnypieradio.com and is launching on Christmas Day.

darkhorsebeats replied 7th Dec 2016 - 9 years ago

Hey he had a GOOD innings at 37! My niece passed away at the age of 10 and went through a double lung transplant at 5 so you really did get to spend a lot more time with him than most families get :) if you send me a link when the streams up and running i'll be sure to have a listen in Sachas memory. Hope it all goes well and your family have great Christmas in his memory.

on My Love by darkhorsebeats

I am putting together a radio stream in memory of my late son who died from cystic fibrosis and would very much like to use this track. He was into dub, house, reggae and many things electronic. The stream, sonnypieradio.com will be ad free, and will not pay royalties, however I am happy to give you a credit and links. Hoping for your permission. Thank you. Chris

darkhorsebeats replied 6th Dec 2016 - 9 years ago

Please please PLEASE feel free to use the track in anyway you wish. My niece passed away about 5 years ago from CF so although I would feel your pain regardless it hits a little deeper because of that and I'm really sorry to hear about your son. If you hear anything else you'd like to use or need me to adjust anything db-wise on My Love and send it to you that would be no problem. I wish you all the best and my deepest condolences again.
