This is a pretty sweet track. But, If you don't mind me suggesting...try to go back and adjust the EQ on your kick and your snare. They need to "pop" more. Also, try to pan them out a little. It will give your track a larger and fuller asthetic.

Those two were on my to change list so I will definitely look at it, will try to do something with the pan. Maybe a new kick will go into the track instead of this one

thanks for your comment ;)

on MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME by Mykael

This is good, man. Really good. This is a piece where if played live, you would be able to see that everyone involved was jazzed about playing it. (no pun intended...unless it was a good one, then it was totally intended). It just has a good, clean feel to it that makes you want to say, "Damn, dude...life ain't that bad." I really liked the way you have the vocals panned all the way to one side. It makes it seem like it's sharing the spotlight with the music instead of stepping in front of it. Awesome work!

Hey ValVedriver! Thanks so much for the comment! I really appreciate your taking the time to stop and and listen. Regarding that "panning" remark, I can't claim any brilliance it is simply the result of me not knowing very much about using DAWs; which is the reason I leave it up to those who know, lol.

Love & Light,

Mykael

on Tha Suspect-Get Up - Cognac Remix by CognacXE

The mixing in this is done quite well. That's that part I have the most trouble with. To see someone be able to do it so well is, if nothing else, encouraging. As others have said your transitions are seamless. The only thing I personally would have done differently, was to add one more octave in the vocals as they rose. A fourth set would have, not only felt more natural, but it would have helped build anticipation. But, that's only my opinion. You know what you like, and you went with it. Kudos!

on After The Rain by bbedford48

This isn't necessarily my taste in music, however I don't let that get in the way of recognizing the talent here. The arrangement is, for a lack of better terms, classy. I like how the beat stumbles into the pillow-y melodies. Definitely a clean and professional sounding mix.

Hi V,

Many thanks for your perspective. I know how hard it can be to listen to stuff that you would not normally do.
I liked your description. It gave me a new insight into how the track sounds to someone else.
