Also, some of those tips should be just tiny increments. If you only notice it missing if you hit bypass, that is probably enough with reverb and delay. The drum compression and EQ boosting I would crank. Listen to different mixes in your car if you are stuck with PC speakers or earbuds.
Anyway, keep it up.

Yes clear. I usually mix on some nice headphones, then generate an mp3 and listen back on crappy phone headphones. I've also scheduled another lesson with my local Ableton/music/mixing gurus - those lessons are generally brutal, but very helpful. They never say "oh this is great" and I learned that's actually a good thing ;)

Nice track. Haven't seen one in a while :)
I'd put a hint of delay on the lead, a hint of reverb on the rhythm (small room).
Also you can scoop out the lows on the vocals, and possibly some distortion (saturation) to brighten them up, and a little reverb or delay.
I'd also use EQ to crank the bass on the drums and add distortion/saturation and compression to make them louder and brighter in the mix.
Love the whispery phone call. Was only 16 sec in and had to comment.
Fun track overall. Email me if you want, hope everything is well, ttyl.

My compliments for you.
The acapella fits great and how you make that fast difficult sounds is for me a wonder.
And for me the same...i love bass so go ahead ''lol''

Merci Rita! As for fast... You start slow, you practice every day... And then one day you think " oh, that wasn't bad" :D

Hi Baobou
nice that you want to help me.
Thank you so much.

Just 1 moment ago i hear this track on my speakers...before just on headphone and im a shame on my self for this track.
In the headPhone it sounds better but maby i was to long busy with this track and needed a ear rest.

You are right...to much nice things to let go.
I have another version where i let come back the first part..but also that is like 2 differant tracks in 1 .
like you said... i need to take care it does not sounds disconnected

Thanks a lot for your help.
i stimulates me to try again

Never be ashamed of your creative efforts. Maybe you're not satisfied yet, but that's a good thing; remember you are still doing something that 99% of people out there could never do.
Never be look down on your own work. I know it's always hard because however well you do, you think you could do better.
Your tracks are your children Rita! Make them grow up and be a good music mom! :)
You know I like listening to your tracks! I saw you removed that Jip Jip track, but don't do that! It was good - I was just hoping to give you tips to make it even better!
Sorry if that didn't become across, but please bring it back - do it for me, and your musical offspring :)

Awesome work on this one mate. Very good mix and FX on the guitars. The chorus also mixes in nice, the best sound so far I think. The spoken word style in the begining reminded me of an old chicago artist from the late nineties.

You getting me into this funk ishh. You make this joint from scratch? Great musicality and the voice snippet is a nice touch. I might just go google some funk bands haha.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 14th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago
Yeah I generally make stuff from scratch although I also have a couple based on an acapella or on a drum track, and currently I'm working on something with a bassline a friend sent me.
To me a great great pleasure in life is to just start jamming and see where the music leads me. It would be even better to be able to do it with a band, but especially in the age of Corona I'm very happy to have all instruments within hand's reach :D

Who ever knew funk could be so melodic
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 9th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago
I knew ;) If you listen to 70s funk, it's pretty darn melodic. I guess I'm (subconciously) trying to recreate the atmosphere of the school parties I went to in the 80s. Think "Kool and the Gang - Funky Stuff" and similar songs :)

It's a happy, funky drummer groovin in the 70's kinda vibe baby!! Put a vocalist on it going "OW!" a bunch of times & this would be a regular funk revival. Splendid job my man!!

So The Production is improving alot. I might sit the distorted guitar just slightly back in the mix and add a small delay to create even more space. (not the strumming ry though, thats perfect) but thats a personal preference. I would also use a compressor on the distorted guitar as well like something from Fab (Saturn) to give it some clarity and yet keep that lovely fuzz. Organ is sublime. As I said earlier the Bass is perfect, Its such a clean slap sound. So to answer your question, yes its getting better mate!
Cheers

That lead git has the warmth and tone of the front pickup of a Les Paul, perfect for this track. Nice punchy bass playing as well. Keys add a lot in the rhythm section, quite a lot to appreciate here! Well Done!

BaoBou replied 3rd Oct 2020 - 5 years ago
Thanks a lot Wayne!! Actually this is a new guitar (new second hand), I managed to find a "cheap" Silver Sky, so it's a strategy sound, but with lots of reverb and distortion on it (and you're right, that brings it close to my LP).
Lovely, lovely guitar - yes it's a Fender rip-off but by Jove, Mayer and PRS did an amazing job on it, highly recommended.
Thanks for the nice words, as always!!
