I like this track and the feel of it. Reminds me of some mid 90's bands that used the DnB beats over a mellow tune as well (can't think of the names right now). Juest read a comment on panning of the vocals. I think that's a great idea.
I do have one addition though. Did I miss a bass here? If not, then it might be a good idea to put it somewhat louder. I do miss it a bit. And I would leaave out the last two repeats of the vocal to be honest. Let it just end with a bang :-).
But great track all in all.
I'll let you know when I have an answer to your question.
Matey thank you for the review and your thoughts, much appreciated, yes has a couple of bass lines in track, left them at the level they are because didn't want them over powering the string and flute etc, knew doing this track as with a lot of my non trance tracks always do things little different then the normal genre, meaning what's expected as to that genre,going to add panning to the vocals over next day or 2 when have music PC up running again, agree they could do with it, just to give some variety to the vocals, will look at what you said about dropping last 2 vocals out...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
First thing that comes into mind is the flawless mix. It is open en crisp and I really love what you've done. Just read the comment on the guitar, I think it has the perfect spot in the mix as it is, but I know that a lot is deciced by just taste.
Nice touch on the rim shot when the guitar is playing, gives a bit more power when needed.
If I would have to make up one comment, it would be on the EP. It plays the same chords in the same way during a big part of the track. It might be a noce addition to have it syncoped (is that the right word?) every now and then, so have it play a short chord on the 2nd 16th and a long one on the 4th or 5th.
Apart from that, flawless track. If it would be available in wav, I would download it imiediately :-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and post comments. I appreciate it.
Your view of the mix is exactly as I intended and "open and crisp" just hit the nail on the head for me. It's sometimes about less being more and keeping it simple. On that tack I guess the piano part does just sit there the whole way through and doesn't really go anywhere else so I take your point. Nice you notice the change in drum part over the solo too.
Contact me through the Loop if you want a wav file of the track. Happy to send it to you.
Just listened to this awsome track. It's a great way to use Patricia's vocals! Not predictable at all and that's why I like ot so much.
Nice open mix as well. If I may make one little suggestion, I feel that there's just a little bit too much high in the drum track. Maybe a bit of EQ tweeking may help. But that's really all I can think of right now.
Also I would love to hear a longer version of this track. Are you working on that as well?
thx for your comment...good point - after hearing my song again this also comes in my mind...i've overdone it in the search of a cracky edgy short snare while the rest of the drums suffer from that. i'm working on a housy version and some older stuff right now - maybe a longer version afterwards... regards P.
