This is pretty cool, acid jazz feel to it. I played it a couple times and decided to dl it, thanks! Can't say enough about the sax, outstanding! Uplifting and smooth!
Great way to come back mudhoen....dig the sax & rhodes...I think the ultimate test of a mix is wheather or not the listener enjoyed it....and I did indeed enjoy listening to this one...a big well done to you....I`m not too hung up on the fade ending...we all do them...hell, most everybody does them, but perhaps Static has a useful point...either way its a good listening piece of music...Ed
Thanks Ed. It was just my pure lazyness to fade out at the end. Took me some tries to make a more exciting ending but I think it sounds better now. At least I am glad youz liked the comeback :p!
"You think the rhodes on the end is too much huh?"
Yes. By keeping it, you're kind of saying to the listener: "Here is this familiar part, I want to leave you with it as the final memory of the track because I think it's such an important part".
But you could instead do something more ambitious and interesting at the end. Perhaps an abrupt stop or something unusual. I think that would make it a classier track whereas the ending now is too predictable and kind of lazy. If you could chop up some sax notes and add lots of delay so that they ring out for a while, that could be cool.
Yes, you can definitely add a little extra sugar to this and make it an excellent track rather than just a very good one.
Thank you for your honest review. You are absolutely right. It is a kid of lazy ending(probably will test some extra delay at the ending to make it a more dublike finish). I will work on the bass and ending this week. Will post it later on! Comments like yours are very helpful and give me hints on enhancing my tracks!
But I don't understand why you haven't explained where the bass is from. That's some very funky playing. Who's playing that? A sample? Maybe the bass should be a bit louder throughout. Definitely make it louder at certain points.
Cool, laidback beat and I really like that 0:37 delayed vocal snippet - well worth repeating.
And the sax is of course excellent. Nice big reverb and you can move to it. Some good samples. You seem to have had enough playing to add some different bits here and there eg 2:12 and 2:52. And 3:00 is great.
Maybe the best way to end the track would be with the sax ringing out at 3:50. No need to return to that Rhodes part as we have already heard it so many times.
Big congrats on this very rich and fine track that is great for chilling to or dancing.
Thanks a lot SN. The bassline is a sample. I could change the volue abit here and there on the bassline. You are right. Sometimes it is a bit too silent. You think the rhodes on the end is too much huh? You could be right as it has been played almost all track long. I am glad you liked most of it and will definetlyx work on it to give it little extra sugar on top. Thanks for you comment!
this is an outstanding number and work...everything is perfect here, instrumentation, mix, producing...your best I think...my question is what did you use for that sax voice? it's very 'live'...
Thanks a lot, friend. The sax are from 2 different samples that I chopped up and put together. They are both live samples and I only had to put on a little reverb and delay to make them sound like that. I am very happy that you liked it!
Jazzy chill!! Love a bit of laid back chillness, and this hits the mark!! Almost an R&B swing type beat? Anyways great sound and a lovely sax, just oozes summer with a cold beer! Well done sir! Thanks for sharing!
This is great! A good sax-lead song is very much appreciated every so often, definitely an underused instrument these days. But it works so well! Nice work!
Nice to se you back my friend...and what a return! Admirable chillout creation with wonderful sax and great production...enjoyed it immensely!
Just keep up the good work...your music never disappoints!:)
Thanks for dropping by friend! I am glad you like it. Took a long time to start up FL Studio again with some fresh ideas. Sometimes you just have to hold a break instead of proceed with 'forced' tracks. I am happy to be back now!
not really the genre what i`m listening but i know trap and i`m thinking the same as Spivkurl and i think need some sub bass i think just what trap about the 808 kick and thats a pretty subby one, but nice work i really dig the synth!
I'm liking the style and the composition quite a bit. One thing I noticed right away was the lead synths... with this much dynamic processing on the master, they are quite a bit too loud. They are great sounding synths for sure, they just mask much of the rest of the mix when they are playing. Beyond that it all sounds pretty awesome, especially for trap which is often not my "cup of tea." I like the shuffling high hat lines, and the vocal bits are fun! Who knows, maybe the issue with the lead synths could be solved by simply easing back the threshold on the master, and allowing the song to use the headroom (of which there seems to be at least a few dB). I like the song a lot, and I think it could easily be even stronger! Fave!

The mix between the sax and the lounge feel is superb.

The track's ending is my only real criticism.
