Awesome!

This track sounds very live.
It would be easy to believe
that you recorded this in a
lounge. Of course it's clean
as hell, all the tracks of yours
that I've heard have been studio
quality.

Great track. Faved..

PEACE...

them drums are great mate, so crisp and clear, the volume is perfect, loved the hat before this, now i love it more i have advised others on the double tempo hat it just works for me treating it like a shaker or cabasa. i also forgot to mention first time the cymbal is on point too bro.
the volume of your voice also sounds better in the mix, im not sure whether you tweaked it down, im thinking maybe not, but bringing the drums up has given the vocal so much more balance, truthfully mate i think this sounds great now but as my first comment would really like to here you let go on the guitar everything else stopped. i would pay to watch you, as i would a couple of artists hear, super talent.

Hey...disco is nog een groter publiek hahaha je word beroemd BaoBou!!!Ben benieuwd welke kant je gaat nemen!!

Dit klinkt nu al heel goed maar ik ben benieuwd als het helemaal af is Baobou.
Ik had het denk ik al eens eerder gezegd maar mijn idee kan jij zo gaan optreden in zon jazz bar .

Not like I'm an expert or anything but I think Neruda would've heartily approved of a music setting like this. Really fun song you've got here, pretty different than most stuff you hear on LM which is always nice!

If you'd like feedback I only have a couple of suggestions. But please feel free to disregard them if you don't agree! Honestly, the mix is really solid. I'd suggest bringing out the mids somewhat, and maybe adding a high shelf in side mode to give the track a bit more width.

I'd suggest bringing the level of the vocals down a touch. Your voice will continue to stand out well amongst the instruments while allowing you to bring up the volume of the mix. And finally, Paul is right, no need to hide your natural voice. I got the sense in a few places that you were backing off your air support a little bit, especially in the build-up to high notes. Keep the airflow consistent and your core engaged. Keep your foot on the gas as you go higher and it won't let you down.

Really great stuff! These are a few humble suggestions and please feel free to ignore them.

This feels like it was recorded live in a small club, which is a fantastic vibe to have! I would go see you! Good Work.

mate this is great for a first draft, im not a musician, i used to play drums but not for a while now, i do a bit of street drumming now and again still, you know neighbours hate drummers :)) so i cant give feedback on the instruments other than the drums really i think they are in the right place they are right in the middle of the mix not to loud and not to quiet if you get my drift you could mix the hat up and double tempo it, i think the guitar is gorgeous love the tone you should give us a bit of a solo of that alone im sure you could get this out to 3 and half mins, the vocal like me we both know we need to work on them but i want to here YOU and not some autotuned fx to ##### ##### that has no resemblance to the artist i know, the lyrics are great, and i would never criticise a singer anyway, i know you'll tighten things up mate but for a first listen i enjoyed a few times tbf, so i could give you an honest opinion, keep up the great work mate, your respected within the community

Hi BaoBou, I recently started selling my Mix/Master services on Fiverr and I was wondering if you were interested in at least taking a look. Don't worry about asking me for info. Here the link: https://it.fiverr.com/decay_wav

You have an amazing voice, but it should be improved with an equally amazing mix.

Hey guys Mark Knopfler/BBking of LM has done it again.
My dear friend I've said it before your talent is damn unrivaled 100%.
Wow man, this is a great track, Your voice is warm and perfect my friend.
Well done.

I've always liked funk and this song is well done, simple but efficient, I like the bass and guitar work too, of course, but the bass....

BaoBou, much respect for the heart you put here. There's nothing more rewarding being a musician, writer, composer, studio engineer etc. laying those ideas down and bringing them to life. Hats off for that aspect alone.

Mark

hi BB, echo Jynxz, man this this feels like being there! i really like yr vox and how they’re placed in the mix, it’s kind of shy but like a come-on still. cool, swinging stuff!

Dude if this was my track I'd be very happy and call it done but then I'm an imperfectionist. Great guitars, tone on that lead is #####, groovy as hell all round.

Love the organ sound at the beggining, and the funky bass line, then the guitar kicks in and takes it away. Great vocal as well mate, really cool

BaoBou, how are ya, man?

Listen, this thing is smooth. I'm diggin' it quite a bit. The ba-da bop bops are catchy as hell.

I think, as far as improvements go, you don't really need much. I'm picking up a lot of favoring of the right side. The Rhoads and the Guitar seem to both be panned to the right, leaving the left a little empty. Other than that, everything sounds great by way of mixing.

I may be wrong, but the vocals sound a little off time in a few spots. I'm not a vocalist, so I can't really say for sure.

Overall, this is a hit, man! I have a pretty broad taste in music, and if you had an album full of tracks like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Take care, mister.

love the guitar in this and it has a good groove, well done!

Hi Baobou! very good bass part! good rhythm, you're right can be "push" the drums a little harder in the mix! very good job man!
Michael

Yo Baobou.
I diddnt need to cover my ears lol.
Zoals jij de instrumenten bespeeld is ongekend proffesioneel.
Je stem klinkt absoluut niet vals en goed op de ritme van de muziek.
Het zou inderdaad een idee zijn als je weet hoe je de vocal een beetje kan bewerken maar het begin is er.
Zelfs de beste zangers bewerken hun stem dus ik weet zeker als je weet hoe dan komt er nog iets beters uit.

So smooth and silky mate. Guitar work and tone are distinctive and sublime. I almost got a Quiet Sun feel from this one. Good work as always!

Hello BaoBou,

This track sounds live as hell.
I think the only thing that was
missing was the ambient sound of
the fans in the background listening
to your set. Bass, Drums and Guitar were
all on point. In fact I especially liked
the Guitar.

Great track. Cheers Mate..

PEACE...

hey BaoBou nice to have you back around, love the vibe you got going, the guitar is standout the bass guitar is deep funk and gives it that bounce.
you sound just like me on the vocal thing, I'll keep working at it :)) forget how many times ive wrote the same its not bad mate, your original that counts a lot.

i just want to say its not easy incorporating exsternal hardware into a pc software and putting the sounds to gethere specialy without £3000 of kit to do it right yet its easy to mix within the software so i know where Ba0Bou is comming from

There is a lot more to learn on production than some people think..don`t sweat it my friend...it just takes time. There are some decent training courses on line at Berklee Institute but like everything they cost a bit. Some of the music magazines are ok too but they tend to be DAW or genre specific.If you can find a good mentor with the knowledge and patience that really helps..I was able to get several friends locally started back in the days when I had better hearing and was actively involved in studio operation...no worries...it will come in time. Happy to help if I can but my music time is really limited lately. Bet you will find some help here on LM...thats what its about.

Has a cool retro vibe. I think you have about all the ingredients here,,the main issues are with production: needs to be stepped up in gain and lots of punch added. Good idea to start with compression on the individual tracks that need it (drums..quick release will get them perking...guitar, bass...you can nail the bass with lots of compression & a slow release..insert some soft-knee limiting on the master when you mix down...render a pre-master mix, then set up a new mastering project to finalize & bring a little closer to commercial volume...but don`t do the loudness war thing..it just squashes your instrument peaks...cheers...sounding good. keep it going..have fun
