Good music is good music. There's a reason DJs still cane stuff like Madagascar and 1998. |

I agree 100 percent. In this day and age where people are so quick to point out " hey, that was so yesterday" is it wise for people trying to break the scene to write such music? I often think about crap like that and it does my head in. Having said that, I just write what comes out without thinking of any of that anyway, f it feels good to me I'm gonna keep running with it. |

I'm thinking over your bass question, in the meantime........
I have this, quickest thing I ever made. I am determined to keep it simple and not add much to it, as per the thread here on keeping it simple;

Yeah you don't need to add stuff, you may need some deleted though.
The mix is crap at the moment, major work there, and probably some arrangement work with the elements you already have in the track. There are things that jump out a lot, like
28s stutter edit is ing nasty and needs heavy filtering and/or deletion, couple of sounds at 1:10 way too loud, 2:49 stutter edit too harsh in the top end, needs filtering, etc etc.
Having said all that. The idea of the tune itself is very decent, I mean if you polish it well could be good.
Here's my tune in need of feedback:

Like vercetti said, the tune itself sounds really nice, but some of those effects were really quite harsh, especially on headphones. The vocals don't seem to sit right in the mix either. |

That piano line is beautiful. Not sure I'm wild about when it jumps an octave, much better when the lower octave comes back in. Minor quibble though.
For some reason I can almost hear lyrics sitting over this--similar to Everything But The Girl, maybe. |

dig this, as a piano player I really liked the piano lines. I would maybe eq a little out of the mids and/or low mids of the piano. The only thing that kinda killed the mood for me was when the 16th note closed hats came in, for me they are to straight adn killed the groove of the song, maybe try some simpler closed hat stuff bussed to a delay to get some kind of cool shuffle and movement that works with the rest of the groove, just doesnt sit right for me. But thats just me! |

kinda strange sound on this one, could almost be background for a tv program or something, not sure what else to say about it! |

I like the track, specially the piano melody, it has a pop/rock vibe. The call and response, the more dreamy piano does is spot on. The paned cymbals are to much at the front for my taste, the bass is grooving but it is taking to much space in the mix imo. |

A nice listen, it reminds me a hell of a lot of Solarstone vs Scott Bond - 3rd Earth. |
