For a guy not fond of instrumental songs, this was really nice. You're good at making good melodies.
Time to take song lections.

This soooo has the sound of some type of video visual, maybe even a commercial, but I don't mean that at all in a bad way. I could just see some sort of electronic product or similar being sold with this playing in the background. I kept waiting for the announcer.

Hahaa Introducing..... REAPER 6..... I can see it, Can we get a vote? lol All the classical guys would probably quit using reaper if they heard this on the commercial.

Anyways, thanks sammydix.

Hi Luke. Still a good kick, in fact maybe easier to listen, some good fat in it. Maybe the bridge seems to be a bit too long for me. Just to say.
Like too the different ending with this second voice, more in front.

Nice job, bye.

Agree with what everyone said. Although this is not my cup of tea, this is a very well done and competent composition.

cheers

same here, not my favorite genre, but you did it well, and you used an odd voice for the melody that I would never have been able to use. Good job cleaning up the kick and making it more balanced with the rest of the mix.

heard them both and like them very much - i simply would stack them, cause the groove and the melody is so nice. so why not make a long track from both. maybe skip the second bridge for some 8 bars in order not to slow the whole thing down for a second time and insofar keeping the tension up.

I really like it. The mix has such a nice sound to it. Everything sounds crystal clear but with a lovely warmth. It sounds totally professionl to me.

Not me. I don't even listen to this genre and I listened to this track.

The remix is even better. I was very impressed by how well you handled the low end of the mix. Nothing boomy, nothing distorts or clips, nothing steps on anything else, but yet it's also fat and warm and full and punchy......and sounds like it is mastered in some way as well.

I think this stuff is deceiving in a way, because the music may seem somewhat straight at first glance, but mixing it and getting it clear and articulate is a whole 'nother challenge that a lot of people underestimate and may not appreciate at first.

Nicely done.

Fantastic mix! And a catchy song, no doubt. Wish I had your control over the low end of a mix.

Thamks for listening guys!

It is very simple, the hardest part was the middle section. I wanted to tell a story with volume. So i didnt want it to be too quiet or too loud.

Regarding bass, i had to make serious sacrifices in the bass guitar. I wanted to keep the thunp of the kick so.
