on Daybreak by kingmt77
I like it a lot. Especially the bass work is great. The saxes sound a little too reverbed into the background at 1:50 when they are featured. You could reduce it or mix back in the dry sax over the verbs to add some punch when they are featured. other than that I can't offer any advice. It really sounds just fine :)

VirginiaSlimm, greetings. I appreciate that you've stopped by for a listen and your comments. On the next round, my thoughts on the sax's were to widen the stereo and back up on the wet. Thanks for letting me know that this listen was a good one. Stay posted for an update soon.

Sounds absolutely great Mark lovely intro love the backing vocal wicked beat and cymbal love the 2 second bass drop 34 to 36 secs, I was waiting for it to come in,it didn't, then the keys. The sax is phenomenal, this is packed already and you wanna add more, amazing. Nice soft outro too M.T.

Paul, oh yes bringing that bass aggression. I've been working on bolstering up the areas that I can greatly improve upon, Vocals. Every time I try to run from the sax man he just keeps popping up in my compositions! Anyway, your listening and comments help a great deal. Be on the lookout for round 2.

bas tone is amazing, low end perfect with this little dirt on mid and highs and rhytm is perfect. This thing is jazz funky af. The intro from organ reminds me a bit of work from Ray Manzareks" riders on the storm" and you put in a nice context. The Tempo of your productio is really nice done, it drives a lot and drum work and balance is perfect. i like this little solo on 2:50, you let the drums breath and attack. The Snare is awsome, it forces you but also let you chill. Urban Jazz vibes, ready for something more. The whole mix is smooth and the listeners can understand your music and your ideas. i shake my banana

BananaLu, as you hear, the saga continues. With this one you heard all of the nuances like the dirt on the highs and mids. The drive and chill. And the BPM too. This one was a joy which I laid the drums down first then the bass. The keys per my ears had to be perfect so a lot of work went in for the proper sound like reverb and exciters and a Leslie on the organ etc. I had a real blast with this whole production. So do me a solid……. Get the banana, go to the mirror and shake that banana at yourself for being perfectly astute in your assessment of this piece! Be Safe and Be Cool.

Hey Mark all your music meets my approval, it sounds wrong my first comment, I'm surprised how much I like JAZZ, not surprised how much I like yours, of course I like yours, your fresh a talent for sure and play the social part in our community too

dimestop, you are total encouragement to me. Thank you for the time you take out to listen, and your in-depth commentary. When you describe what you're hearing, you capture the essence of the matter totally. This feedback is necessary for me to heed so I can improve what I'm doing and also be of some assistance to any of our comrades. I believe we musicians were born with music in the innermost depth of our being, and that music must be expressed or we can be most miserable, and think of what our listeners are missing out on. Music is the language of life! So let's live. and speak music. Ok Im exiting philosophical mode! Be safe.

A great intro solo sax, jazzier feel as apposed to funk, I've surprised myself how much I like it myself, the transitions are so smooth, the keys being gentle and soft and a snappy beat snare and hi hat it all has its place and a nicer outro from you mark

I think you succeeded! Some great keys in there, liked the demented organ after the two minute mark. Side chaining? Haven't delved into that yet but I think I need to.

Hey Zootman2u, I trust that all is well with you. Thanks for listening and your feedback. For me the right keys can make a song just right. And I’m always looking for either vintage or innovative sounding keys. On the subject of side chaining, you’re going to have to check the process out. I can be pretty kick and bass guitar heavy. That can create low to mid low conflicts. So in one case I would like the kick to punch through in the mix and not turn muddy of lose definition. So I’ll set my compressor starting with a fast attack on the bass track and side chain the kick track signal into that compressor so the bass will duck every time the kick triggers it. This is one application, there’s many others. Be Safe my friend.

Hey Mark.
Congrats on your radio debut my friend.
With tracks like one mate, I'm not surprised.
This track as Robbie would say out of the park.
Brilliant.
Well done mate.

Maj, thank you, kind sir. The joy here for me is that if you love what you're doing it is bound to translate into your work. From the great input and comments from my newfound Looperman comrades to my family and friends, this has been therapeutic, to say the least. I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts on this work

Un tema muy entretenido amigo Slinky, con buenos sonidos muy agradables y amenos de escuchar. Me sigo interesando por el Funky y el Jazz gracias a ti amigo. Poco a poco me voy introduciendo en este nuevo mundo. Que tengas una buena noche compañero. Paz y salud.

Amigo mío, no tengas miedo de dar el paso. Personalmente, creo que tal vez deberías experimentar con la mezcla de un poco de jazz-funk con tu electrónica para un nuevo sonido interesante. Piénsalo, amigo. El tipo de música que nos atrae es siempre la música que mejor interpretamos. Como siempre es genial leer sus amables comentarios. De nuevo sé genial, sé bueno y sé seguro. Hasta la próxima vez mi amigo.

I'm so glad I pestered you into releasing your archives onto the world. All that gold collecting dust.

Lots of artist make great things, and simply don't have the courage to publish them. It's a drop in an ocean of information, and the track will never be perfect, because perfection doesn't exist. I know this doesn't apply to you much, but I have been especially seeing this with "fix my mix."

Also, I got kicked out of a band last year because I told them they should've wrote more than 5 songs in 15 years, so maybe its just me :P

Artists need to know that it is 90% execution and 10% talent. Believing in yourself has nothing to do with it (flea markets are full of self help books for a reason).

Great track, I feel like a broken record, sorry for the rant. Looking forward to more.

bringer, so the dilemma here for me is finding the right balance between good and best. Mix and mastering wise for example with my earlier works I didn't sidechain my bass guitar with a signal from my kick. Being self-taught I didn't see the need to get cooperation between the two instruments frequency range until I ran into conflicts. Now just by sidechaining, I've gained definition and eliminated mud. So I then go back and do some refining to add polish to some earlier works. You know we could go on for hours on this subject. Thanks, for your listen and interesting observation. Peace.
